The Billionaire's Enemy Quotes

“And falling in love was weak. Falling in love meant she was willing to get her heart broken. Falling in love meant she’d come home one day and find him gone, or see him kissing another woman, or even if it did work out, he’d leave her in a decade for someone better.”

“Stacey gazed up at him, wonder traveling through her with the speed of cold molasses. Who was this man? He didn’t sound like anything the articles she’d read about The Davenport Development Group. They had a nasty reputation for skirting the laws in the cities where they built, fabricating permits if they’d “forgotten” to get them, and paying their employees basement-bottom wages. She could not imagine any of the their top-level executives going undercover—or even caring how their employees were faring.”

Stacey enjoyed the more casual relationship she had with her employees, and she wondered if dark, dangerous Davenport even knew how to be casual. What would that look like on him? Jeans? A T-shirt? Swim trunks? She couldn’t imagine the imposing man who’d shown up at her door wearing that expensive suit in anything but crisp,”

“Though Betty came in a short, petite package, she had a whip-like personality with a loud voice to match. Everyone listened to her, Stacey included, because Betty had more experience in the bed and breakfast industry than anyone else on the Aloha Hideaway staff. She’d attended culinary school on the mainland and opened four restaurants back in Hawaii by the age of thirty. Now fifty-five, her hair had turned completely gray, but her steel-colored eyes had not lost a single ounce of their edge.”
