1 " We survive the goodbyes so when a hello comes along, we appreciate its beauty. "
― Devney Perry , Tin Queen (Clifton Forge, #6)
2 " If there was a miracle to be had in my life, I wanted it to be him. "
3 " If you’re looking for your future over your shoulder, you’re turned the wrong way. "
4 " The man was a magnet, and I was cheap metal, helpless against the tug. "
5 " I was in trouble.What was wrong with me? It was only sex. This was just part of the plan. So why couldn’t I detach from him?Every moment spent with Emmett was infuriating because he was so goddamn perfect. He was not who he should have been. He was not the monster I’d expected. …Emmett was so…everything. "
6 " The man was slashing through my defenses one night at a time. The longer I stayed, the more it would hurt in the end. But I couldn’t bring myself to leave. "
7 " 1969 Chevy Nova Coupe "
8 " His chocolate-brown hair was tied into a knot at the crown of his head. His face was covered in a short beard. "
9 " Emmett smiled. It came easy. It was entirely sexy. And I liked that he could smile. I also liked that one day, I’d be the woman to wipe that fucking smile off his face. "
10 " The Warriors had been a rival club back in the days of the Tin Gypsies. Now, they seemed intent on ruining our lives, even though most of them were in prison. "
11 " Her dark hair framed her face, spilling over her shoulders and down her spine. "
12 " Then say it was me. I got drunk. Came out here and was messing around. Started the fire on accident. Consider this my official confession.” “Hell, Emmett,” Luke muttered. Maybe I wasn’t going to ask him to ignore this, but I was still going to ask for a favor. And if I had to play all my chips as his friend, then so be it. “Is she worth it?” “Yes.” To save Nova this trouble, I’d take the fall. "
13 " The tattoo I touched was of two cards. A queen. And an ace. "
14 " He told me that a king was nothing without his queen. That the two most important cards in a deck were the ace and the queen. You want the ace up your sleeve. And you need the queen at your back because women fight dirty. "
15 " No one does. The true goodbyes are usually the most painful moments in our lives. But they’re a part of it. We survive the goodbyes so when a hello comes along, we appreciate its beauty. "
16 " Bryce Slater herself had written the article. It stated that one of the garage employees had started the fire on accident. In the public police report, Emmett had been named that employee and that he’d be paying a fine. "
17 " Bryce Slater herself had written the article. It stated that one of the garage employees had started the fire on accident. In the public police report, Emmett had been named that employee and that he’d be paying a fine. He’d taken the blame. He’d protected me. Now it was my turn to repay that favor. "
18 " Never be sorry for the truth. I’m not sorry. It hurts, but I’m not sorry. "
19 " Emmett, if you’re looking for your future over your shoulder, you’re turned the wrong way. "
20 " God, how I had missed her. How I’d craved her. If there were any doubts about this, they disappeared the moment her tongue tangled with mine and the world melted away. The past melted away. I kissed her until she was breathless, then pulled away to drown in those dark coffee eyes. “Hey, baby.” A smile stretched across her face. A smile I hoped to see every day for the rest of my life. “Hi, Ace. "
