From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash, #1)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

“You’re an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature.”

“Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside.”

“As I said before, you have an overinflated sense of importance in my life.”

“You’re such a bad influence,” I murmured as I placed my hand in his. Hawke curled his fingers around mine. The weight and warmth of his hand was a pleasant shock. “Only the bad can be influenced, Princess.”

“I think we’ve already established that only the bad can be influenced.”

Some truths do nothing but destroy and decay what they do not obliterate. Truths do not always set one free. Only a fool who has spent their entire life being fed lies believes that.”

“I…you’re perfect.” His expression tightened. “No, I’m not. You deserve someone who is, but I’m too much of a bastard to allow that.”

He was a thing of nightmares hidden in the guise of a dream, and I had fallen for it. I fell so hard.

Oh Hawks ❤️🖤❤️🖤
