Romance

"The love we have can’t die. If you ever think I’m not there, just be still and you’ll feel my presence. I’ll be beating with your heart."

"You are enough to drive a saint to madness or a king to his knees Excerpt from To Kiss a King by Grace Willows Coming this summer to Amazon Kindle and paperback."

"You are enough to drive a saint to madness or a king to his knees."

"Oh honey, someday a real man is going to make you see stars and you won't even be looking at the sky." Excerpt from Grace Willow's Last Minute Bride"

"She was a ray of sunshine, a warm summer rain, a bright fire on a cold winter’s day, and now she could be dead because she had tried to save the man she loved."

"It’s just a party, right? What could possibly go wrong?"

"His beautiful eyes were full of dread and sorrow. “You’re different,” she whispered. He nodded. “Yes, I am.”“You should have told me how different.”A mirthless laugh escaped him. “When?"

"Sit down,” she ordered, nodding toward her bed. He cast it an uncertain look. “I can’t. I’ll stain the covers.” She stared at him. “You’re kidding, right?” He sported deep wounds that bled profusely and he was concerned about staining her bedding? “Perhaps if I cleaned up a wee bit—” “Sit your ass down,” she ordered, pointing at the queen-sized bed. Eyebrows flying up, he sat so swiftly she almost laughed."

"Isn't it lovely to be lovely me!"

"Your cowboy persona meshed so well with the dreams Chris has of the torn and silent men she's been rejected by. The fact that you don't return messages turns your answerphone into a blank screen onto which we can project our fantasies."

"...to understand infatuation, how the loved person can become a holding pattern for all the tattered ends of memory, experience and thought you've ever had."

"I cared about Ben, but I was never in love with him. I was in love with what it said about me that I had a boyfriend like Ben, and that's just different."

"Where are you taking me?” Abby asked from the passenger seat of the pickup."

"Please don’t take offense, but I want no part of this family or what comes with it."

"The past is just that."

"She disliked me. But she worshipped my brother. He didn't see her, not really. Not like I did."

"She looked Spencer over, tip to toe, as though she were considering buying him. Then she smiled her friendliest smile and said, "You're rather short, aren't you" "Don't worry honey," said Mankiewicz, trying desperately to extinguish Spencer's glare. "He'll cut you down to size."

"Love is more than flirty feelings and fun dates. It's about what lives underneath the surface. The commitment you keep even when life gets hard and all the fuzzy feelings fade."

"Yet I can’t bring myself to derail from her nor can I reject what I feel in the most primitive parts of me: hope. Because that’s what I feel with her, hope that the world can get better. Hope that a normal life can exist someday."

"She had never been in love before. She'd tried to save herself the pain, but all her pretending and hiding the truth from herself had not saved her at all. And even though this love was painful, it was worth it to remember how the sight of him and the sound of his voice had made her heart beat faster, that feeling of wanting what was best for someone else, even if it broke her own heart."
