A Court of Hearts and Hunger (Wicked Darlings, #2)

by Rebecca F. Kenney

“What if you are my doom, after all? Maybe I want you to unravel me. I think any end in your hands would be a beautiful one.”

Perhaps that’s what love is—the gradual disappearance of the walls between two souls. Some walls evaporate on their own; others have to be dismantled, brick by brick. Sometimes you reach out, thinking all the walls have been deconstructed, only to find a thick glass shield around the heart of the one you love. Only the heat of a persistent, intense devotion can ever soften it. I will melt Fin’s final wall, if it takes me years. That sweet, wounded heart of his is worth it.
