M5-Circle of Trust Quotes

“Don’t you see? The most important person here is Josiah.” A gust of wind blew her hair away from her face, revealing a fierceness in her he had never seen before. “He is who you must protect with your life. The fate of the entire kingdom hinges on him retaking the throne. If it comes down to a choice between any of us, you must choose him.” Davianna gripped his hands and held his gaze. “That is the vow I would have from you, Prince. Promise me.”

“I’ve got to go, Esmie. But remind me to tell you when I get back. The story will curl your hair.”

Esmeralda gave him a pout, both at his teasing about her hair and because he was going to leave without telling her. “You are not a nice guy, Ian.”

“Ah, so you’ve uncovered my secret.” He kissed her cheek in parting. “I have never been a nice guy, Esmeralda.” Intensity burned in his winter blue eyes as he added, “And I have never been tame.” —Ian ben Kole and Esmeralda ben Claude”

“Alaina turned. “You dirty dog. You have been looking for an excuse to take that helicopter since I told you about it, haven’t you?”

Alaina called after him, “You just want to show off for Kayah and prove you can fly a helicopter.”

He stopped and turned over his shoulder, his strong nose in profile, the bulge of his muscles on full display. “I am Mossad, is sexy, no?” He winked and then disappeared into the bathroom.

Alaina let out an unsteady breath. Heat crept up her neck, and she fanned her face, murmuring, “Yes, you are, and that woman would kill me for even noticing.”—Reuben ben Judah and Alaina ben Thomas”
