Quotes from the Book
Aingeal, there is only one thing on my body that's ten inches long, and if you'll recall, the scar is no' it.
a man would know the women he was meant to be with because she made him weak. Till he claimed her and she made him strong.
Ah, damn it, lass,'he called after her. 'I've busted my stitches wide open.' 'What?'she cried, hurrying back to him. 'Let me see!' 'Ah-ha!' He snared her around the waist, dragging her down with him to his lap.'You still care for me!
You said you'd give me half an hour!' 'And you said you'd satisfy me whenever I wanted it. I want it now.' He removed is jacket. 'Drop the towel.' 'I-I never agreed to be naked!
...when a man like Ethan finally learns to love, it's forever. ~ Fiona MacCarrick ~

And he'd railed at her, his voice booming so loud the bed had seem to shake. "You canna do this - take my goddamned heart and then leave me! You think I will no' follow?" She knew he was constantly there, was aware of his movement and comprehended his words, but she couldn't seem to open her heavy eyelids or speak.
