Wrecked Palace (Wrecked, #3)

by Catherine Cowles

“That’s your rainbow. So you’re a part of our family, and you never have to leave.”

“It looks like you belong with us.”

“I’m sorry you lost your family. But you’re in our family now. That’s what the rainbow bracelet means.” I swallowed hard as I met Caelyn’s gaze over Mia’s head. Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, but she smiled. “She’s right. I’m afraid you’ve been claimed.” I didn’t mind one bit.

“You gave up your life for us.” I grabbed his arm. “That is not true. You make my life better than I could’ve dreamed. You always will. Even when you go to college. Even when you make a family of your own one day. You and the girls will always be my greatest joy, the people I’m most proud and happiest to see.”

“Love is the most terrifying jump you’ll ever make. But I promise you, it’s worth it.”

“You’re so damn beautiful. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted this moment. To know what your body feels like wrapped around mine. The taste of your skin. To be consumed by that light that flickers all around you.”

“I love you. I think a part of me loved you from the first moment I saw you. Some part of me recognized that you were the one person who could understand me. Who could help me find my way back.”

“You have no idea the joy you give me. You made this wrecked palace a home.”
