Kindle Notes & Highlights
A pair of the bluest eyes I’d ever seen met my gaze. Blue like the ocean on a sunny day. Blue like the evening skies above the Montana mountains. An endless blue that swallowed me whole.
“This is just a fuck. Nothing more. Got it?”
Nope. All the strings
“Another woman, a better woman, would probably insist you downsize this, but it’s really beautiful and it looks really sparkly on my hand and I kind of already fell in love with it so I’m keeping it.”

I’d been lying to myself for far too long. This marriage was as real and important as they came. Along the way, I’d fallen for my wife. I was in love with Everly Christian Huxley.
Hux made me feel safe. He made me feel wanted and worshiped. His heart was a mirror image of mine, the missing piece.
“Who are you and what have you done with my scowling husband?” He flashed me his breathtaking smile. “My wife told me to work on that scowl.”
