No Love Allowed (Dodge Cove, #1) QUOTES

1 " With his height, Caleb looked over their heads toward his cousin and…his throat tightened.

2 " That was when I realized all love does is hurt people. It lulls you into a false sense of security, and then bam! You slam into a brick wall of pain. A shit ton of pain. Love destroys people to the point where they don’t even care who else they hurt in the process. "
