“I have to figure out why I worked at a job I hated for years. I have to find out why I can’t see what everyone else sees in me. I don’t feel beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I never saw beautiful. For this to happen to someone like me, it’s devastating, Jonas. I don’t want you to think it’s vanity, it isn’t. I can’t see me and I need to be able to do that. I need to find out what I’m like and what I want. I have to be comfortable in my own skin before I can be in a relationship the way you want.”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor

With a little sigh, he watched te droplets of blood absorb into the wood and the window reform. "I have to tell you, I've seen some freaky shit around you girls, but nothing like this. I have just one question. Have you told your fiancées about this? Because quiet frankly it scares the hell out of me."
"You never have to be afraid, Jonas," Hannah assured. "The house judges intent."
"Hannah. Honey. Half the time my intent is to strangle you. And I don't doubt whoever ends up with Joley or Elle will want to do worse than that.”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor

“He rarely smoked, but once in a while, like now, when his world had been shaken, his woman nearly killed in front of his eyes, and he’d watched a house consume a man and spit him out, he figured a drag or two were appropriate.”

“All around him the chanting swelled, Harm no one, harm no one. What the hell did that mean? He was going to have to shoot the poor son of a bitch, but maybe that was a far better way to go than what the house of horrors had planned.

“Did anyone bother to cook dinner? I’m starving.” There was another burst of laughter. He scowled at them. “What?” “You always ask that, every single time,” Hannah explained. “You’re always hungry, Jonas.” He bent down and skimmed a kiss down Hannah’s cheek, right over the fading wounds as if they weren’t there. His kiss ended at the corner of her mouth. “They’re being mean to me, baby. Can’t you turn them all into toads or something?”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor

“Don’t touch that. Is your throat hurting?” Her voice was even more of a whisper of sound. “Inside. It feels torn and bruised.” “Then don’t argue with me. I’m right anyway and you know it. You should have listened to me.” Jonas pressed feather-light kisses along her throat, and up the curve of her chin. “Say it, Hannah. Say you should have listened to me.”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor

“Jonas…” She inserted both hands between her and his chest, trying to get a little space. “You know this can’t work.” Just the thought of losing him made her cold inside, but even Jonas needed protection. He didn’t think so, but she’d seen him vulnerable and in pain. Better he be angry with her and know the complete truth, than later despise her. Swift impatience crossed his face. “Don’t even start, Hannah. You’ve pissed me off enough for one day.”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor

“Do you want those things? Do you want to go to bed with me at night? Wake up with me in the morning? Drive me crazy looking all sexy and drowsy over your tea? Spend your life with me, Hannah. Grow old with me. We can sit on the porch in our rockers and I swear, baby, at the end of it all, you'll know no one could have loved you more or better. I can give that to you. I swear I can, baby. Love me back, Hannah.”
― Christine Feehan, Safe Harbor
