“In public, you’re Jade. But behind closed doors, you’re—”“Lucy?” she breathed.I shook my head. “Mine.”

The Bribe
“Why are you with me, Sheriff?” She held her breath, the world around us disappearing as those green eyes searched mine.“Because when you’re in the room, I can’t seem to focus on another person. Because you consume my thoughts, day and night. Because your smile makes my whole damn day.” I bent low, speaking so only she could hear me. “Because I don’t care if your name is Jade Morgan or Lucy Ross as long as at the end of the day, you’re mine.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“You’ll never be alone,” he promised. “As long as there is a beat in my heart and breath in my lungs, you’ll never be alone.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“I wanted it to be real. With every passing day, I wanted to belong to someone special and have that special someone belong to me.I wanted that special someone to be Hux.” ― Willa Nash, The Bluff
“Life’s not about what most people think. Life’s about finding the right people .The ones who will take you at your worst, so you can give them your best.” ― Willa Nash, The Bully
“We aren’t casual, Lucy.”She dropped her eyes to her glass.It would shock the hell out of me if she wanted casual. I wasn’t going to agree so it didn’t matter, but still, my heart stuttered as her silence lingered. Lucy had to know that whatever washappening here wasn’t casual.“Okay,” Lucy whispered, lifting her gaze.I let out the breath I’d been holding. “Glad that’s settled.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Never in my life had I longed to be with a person the way I craved Duke’s presence. I’d take him every minute of every day.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Your life was a lot simpler before I showed up in Calamity.”“My life was lonely before you showed up in Calamity. These past few weeks, it’s been the best time I’ve had in years. Maybe ever.”My heart melted. “Me too.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Do you believe in destiny? Because I was just thinking . . . I’ve caught a lot of lucky breaks. My career, mostly. But this one, finding you here, doesn’t feel like luck. It feels like something bigger.”His gaze softened, the crinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening. “It sure does.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“I love you, Lucy Ross. Jade Morgan. Whoever you need to be, I love you.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Are you having fun?” I asked, trying to put a little space between us. Anything to ease the bloom of desire spreading in my lower belly. Maddox wouldn’t have it. He pulled me closer, flush against his hard planes. “I am now.”Oh, sweet baby Jesus in the manger. “Are you flirting with me?”“I am. Do you mind?”“No.” ― Willa Nash, The Naughty, The Nice and The Nanny
“You need to show the town of Calamity that you’re not just a brooding artist with a magnificent scowl and marginal social skills.”His frown deepened.“See?” I pointed to his face. “This is what I’m talking about. Seriously, Hux, you radiate pissed-off jerk.” ― Willa Nash, The Bluff
“In public, you’re Jade. But behind closed doors, you’re—” “Lucy?” she breathed. I shook my head. “Mine.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Comforting. Grounding. Safe. He was the metronome, the steady beat, keeping my song in time.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“This summer had been nothing but a string of endless days with nothing to do but let her fears swallow her whole.” ― Willa Nash, Ivy
“How attached to the farmhouse are you?” “I like it here. But I’m not attached. Why?” “Because I’m attached to my house.” “Are you asking me to move in?” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“You and me, we fit,” he said. “We fit so fucking perfectly it shouldn’t be real. Yeah, Mira and I were good. But even when we were at our best, nothing can compare to you and me.” He pressed his hand over her heart. “Two hearts.” “One beat,” she finished.” ― Willa Nash, Ivy
“Lucy, from the moment I found you facing off with a buffalo, I knew you were special. Every day, you become more precious to me. I don’t care where life takes us as long as it takes me with you.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
“Sheriff Duke Evans.” Sweet lord, I nearly swooned. He had a great name. I’d always been a sucker for a great name.” ― Willa Nash, The Bribe
