  • Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers
  • “Seems to me it’s only news for a few minutes. Then its old and they have to blast up something else that’s news. Vicious cycle if you ask me. I don’t get caught up in it because, by definition events that are current today are no longer current tomorrow. And before you know it, it’s tomorrow anyway. So you’ve just wasted all that time getting riled up about something that’s past its time when you wake up the next day.”

  • “Man. God. Roarke.” “An interesting and flattering lineup,” Roarke said to his wife’s strangled call for help.

  • She wasn’t sure when it struck her—maybe when Feeney casually speared some of the pasta off Roarke’s plate, or when Jamie dumped another slice of pizza on McNab’s as he stretched across the table for another for himself.

  • “I need you.” His fingers dived into her hair, dragging it back from her face, fisting again. “You can’t know what kind of need is in me for you. There are times, do you understand me, I don’t want it. I don’t want this raging inside me. It won’t stop.”

  • “A lot of people know they’re right, when what they are is wrong. Having doubts keeps you human.”

  • “I love you.” He laid his good hand on her cheek. “I figured I’d lost my chance to tell you that. I’m not going to risk missing it again. Don’t say anything, okay? Maybe you could just give it a chance to settle in.”
