Bound by Temptation (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, #4)

by Cora Reilly

“Do something that’ll make you happy today, even if it’s only something small.” “This makes me happy,” I admitted. “That’s good,” he said, but I caught a hint of hesitation in his tone. Silence followed.

“You only have this one life, Lily. Make the best of it. I wish I had done it and now it’s too late. I don’t want you to end like me, to look back at a life full of missed opportunities and lost dreams. Don’t let life pass you by. You are braver than me, brave enough to fight for your happiness.”

The loneliness you felt when you were surrounded by people was the worst kind.

“Every night I feel like darkness is swallowing me whole, like my life is spiraling out of control, like there’s nothing good in my life. But when I think of you those feelings disappear. I feel safe when I’m with you.”

“Nobody will take you away from me. I’ll fight a million wars if it means I can keep you.”
