Hot Shot (North Ridge, #3)

by Karina Halle

"Unrequited love is a poison for the heart. Something that works slowly over time, like adding arsenic to milk, little by little, day by day. Undetectable on the surface but destroying you underneath. Love will give and give and give but unless you let it loose, it will only take from you until there's nothing left."

“I’m falling in love with you,” he whispers. “A little bit more each day. It’s spreading, like fire. Like

wildfire. I can feel it ignite every part of me, from the deepest corners of my heart to the lost places in my soul. It will eventually consume me and I want to be consumed, Del. I want to love you, burn for you, until there’s nothing else left. Just your heart and mine.”

“Love is like everything I’ve ever lost has come back to me,”
