Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’d set the world on fire, including myself, if it meant saving her.
I know who you are, Ryat Alexander Archer. I’m not afraid of what I see, nor am I ashamed.
“Fuck, Blake,” he growls, pulling his face from mine. His lips drop to my neck, and I tilt my head to the side. “I love you so goddamn much.”
“Blake, I’ll be anything you need.”
My girl. My wife. My filthy little slut.
“You need to understand the next time I have a meeting with you in downtown Dallas at two o’clock in the morning, I’m going to knock you the fuck out.”
“I’ve always been a selfish person, Blake. Willing to do whatever it takes to get where I want to be. And out of all the things I’ve done, you are by far the greatest reward for my selfishness.”
As much as I own her, I fucking need her.
“You think I’d kill for you, but not die for you?” He shakes his head gently. “Silly girl.”
“Ryat,” Gunner begins. “You can’t leave. You were shot four times …” “I’m fine.”
“You were in trouble,” he manages to wheeze out. “You’re right. You are in trouble,” I snap at him. “Putting your life in jeopardy. Again.”
“I’m the kind of man who will crawl across the floor and lick the dirt off your shoes like a peasant begging a king for some scraps. Just to make you think I’m weak. So, when they look away from me, I can slit their throats.”

my wife and I are a team. A Lord and a Lady.
Hell, I still don’t a hundred percent, but it’s obvious these parents loan these women out to the Lords to serve them for their devotion. We’re a prize. An offer of servitude.
Cutting her off, I drop to my knees and shove the knife into her stomach, horizontally. Valerie’s mouth falls open, a single breath leaving her parted lips before I yank on the handle, pulling it across her abdomen, splitting her fucking open—gutting her—like she had planned on doing to me.
“I wanted to tell you—face-to-face—that I’m proud of you.”
“A Lord is nothing without his Lady,”
“Ryat without you is just another ordinary man.”
“You make him a Lord,...

“I’ll do whatever needs to be done,” I finally say.
“And that right there is what makes you just like me, whether you like it or not.”
She once asked me if I believed in life after death. If there was anything better than this. Almost twenty years later and my answer hasn’t changed.
I was forced to pick her as my chosen, but she continues to choose me every day. And that is what I call heaven. Because life without her would be hell.
