"If he caught up to us and something happened to you… I don't know what I'd do." Her lips trembled, though she tried to look angry. "Macho garbage.” ― Maggie Shayne, Colder than Ice

I'm just a tortured soul, in search of redemption. So you wanna have sex with me now?"The look on her face went from one of sympathetic understanding to one of disgust faster than his Porsche could go from zero to sixty."You are such an asshole.""Ah, come on. I'm sure with the love of a good woman I could be whole again.""Go to hell, MacKenzie.""Been there. They threw me out 'cause I made the devil look good.” ― Maggie Shayne, Thicker Than Water

You know that, too, right ?""I've never seen you scared. I can give you that."Till now, he thought, but he didn't say that part aloud, mostly because it would piss her off and he was dying to see where the hell she was going with it."Good, just so we're clear on it. I wouldn't want you to take it the wrong way when I ask you to spend the night with me.” ― Maggie Shayne, Night's Edge
“God, Brigham. You never told me you were a goddamn goddess.” ― Maggie Shayne, Night's Edge
