Kindle Notes & Highlights
To all my readers who are still waiting for Mr. Right. Liam’s for you.
“Evil people don’t need a reason to justify the vile things they do. They just are.”
After today… after holding her in my arms, there’s no fucking denying it – I’m falling for Kiara. For the first time in my life, I’m allowing a woman into my heart.
He’s never grumpy with me. He doesn’t mind touching me. He drinks the coffee I make. He brought me to his home and has gone out of his way to take care of me. Slowly the realization starts to sink in. I think Liam likes me.
Chicago’s all that mattered up until Kiara. This city is mine. Always have been, always will be. So is Kiara Murphy. She just doesn’t know it yet. I’ll give her time to heal, to get used to me, but after that, I’ll make her mine. My eyes drift over her feminine features, memorizing every inch of her. So fucking beautiful. Remembering how she clung to me at the office, warmth and possessiveness burst in my chest. Cling all you want, baby. I don’t want you to let go.
The way her body fits against mine, it’s as if she’s a piece of me that was missing. She’s the emotion I was unable to feel. She’s the touch I missed my entire life. In the early morning hours, I realize that I’ll raze heaven and hell for this woman. Within a matter of hours, I’ve gone from being attracted to her to being absolutely devoted.
“I’ve got you, baby,” I murmur before pressing a kiss to her hair. “You’re a mafia princess and my responsibility. I’ll take care of you.”
“Because you make me feel.” Christ, do you make me feel. My hands frame her face, my eyes burning intensely into hers. “Because I can touch you.” I tilt my head. “I. Can. Touch. You. Kiara.”
The princess I never knew existed and the only woman I want. She’s mine. Especially now that I have a right to claim her.
“I loved you long before you came into my life. When you bumped into me, my body recognized yours. When you looked for safety in my arms, my heart knew you were the one.”
“I promise, if I steal, it will be to steal her heart. If I cheat, it’s to cheat death so I can stay with her longer. If I fight, it will be to protect her.”
