Nora Roberts
I think she was the love of his life. When you've got one of those, it does stuff to you. It makes you think about them even when you're doing routine things. It makes you want to protect them, to make them happy and safe.
Nora Roberts
One of my greatest pleasures is falling into a story someone else has written.
Nora Roberts
Why couldn't the merciful God turn down the sunlight so it wasn't blasting like a red furnace against his aching eyes? Because he'd worshipped the god of beer, thats why. He'd broken a commandment and worshipped the false and foamy god of beer. And now he was being punished.
Nora Roberts
Maybe you could casually mention to Zoe that I'm not now, nor have I ever been, an axe murderer. I'll see if I can work it into our next conversation, Flynn promised.
Nora Roberts
I know you love me, but I don't know why. I look at you and I just can't get why it's me. Every time I get my balance, I lose it again. Because it shouldn't be me, and I think it'd kill me if you ever figured that out.
