“Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders and says, ‘Oh shit, she's awake!”

“He would always be around you, not in these words or paintings, but in your heart. He will always be in happy memories. You can't cage his worth in few pages and colors.”

“How about I kiss you so we can get past this awkwardness?”
― Stephanie Bond, Whole Lotta Trouble

“A lot of good the door did. The man's pheromones oozed through the keyhole and the crack underneath the panelled wood.”
― Stephanie Bond, Whole Lotta Trouble

“She had no doubt the man would kill her. Stupid things went skating through her mind--she'd never told her mother how much she loved her chocolate cupcakes... or Felicia what a kind friend she'd been... or Keith that it was cool and mature that he owned a house, even if it was in Brooklyn.”
― Stephanie Bond, Whole Lotta Trouble

“You're my hero," he murmured.

She grinned up at him. "What a coincidence. You're _my_ hero.”

“Says here there's a reward," Mr. Hooks said.

Tallie blinked, then remembered Keith had added that tidbit for incentive. She opened her purse and scrutinized the contents of her slim wallet--twelve dollars and a book of stamps. She handed over the ten and the stamps, then tossed in a free drink coupon from Starbucks. "Thanks." Then she turned and fled.”
― Stephanie Bond, Whole Lotta Trouble

“Tallie looked for something to throw, but considering the fact that she threw like a girl, she dumped that plan in lieu of grabbing her new iron and swinging it like a bowling ball between the bad man's legs, where it connected with a nauseating _thunk_.”

“When it's the two of us and that pussy of yours is soft, swollen, and wet, I'll be the one in control. I'll have you wherever and whenever I want - in my bed, on my desk, on the floor right now if I want to. I'm going to own that sexy body of yours so thoroughly that you're going to beg for my cock, because it's going to be the only thing in the world that you want. And once I'm buried balls deep in you and you are filled with me, I'm going to make you come apart in the best way possible. Do you understand?”
― Avery Flynn, His Undercover Princess

“You don't actually know much about tigers, do you?"
"Orange and white stripes, long tails, and an excessive love for frosted cereal.”

“Tess, someone just dumped a dead body at your back door."
"Not again," I moaned.
He whirled around. "Not again? What the hell does that mean?"
My knees gave out, and I collapsed back against the counter. "That's how I found Jeremiah.”

“It’s a mistake to act as though we’re not created equal.
It’s another mistake not to correct the first one.
Blaming others nurtures failure.
Helping others reaps a share of their success.”

“I'm concerned about the woman you're holding prisoner in there," Beckett said. "Knock three times if you're being held against your will."
Phoebe gasped and answered, "I'm fine, too."
"Good." Beckett said with a chuckle. "I was afraid I'd have to call the cops on my cop brother.”

“Since Paul wasn’t a big conversationalist—he was the anti-Mac, in other words, and today had been the longest she’d ever heard him speak in consecutive sentences—Jena watched the scenery for a while. Then she decided to study the inside of Paul’s truck to see what she could learn about him.
Technically, it was exactly like hers and Gentry’s. It had a black exterior with a blue light bar across the top and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division logo on the doors.
It was tech heavy on the front dash, just like theirs, with LDWF, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Louisiana State Police Troop C radios, a laptop, a GPS unit, and a weather unit.
In her truck and in Gentry’s, the cords and wires were a colorful tangle of plastic and metal, usually with extra plugs dangling around like vines. Paul’s cords were all black, and he had them woven in pairs and tucked underneath the dash, where they neatly disappeared.
She leaned over to see how he’d achieved such a thing, and noticed identical zip ties holding them in place.
“Sinclair, I hate to ask, but what are you doing?�
He sounded more bemused than annoyed, so she said, “I’m psychoanalyzing you based on the interior of your truck.�
He almost ran off the road. “Why?�
“Your scintillating conversation was putting me to sleep.�
His dark brows knit together but he seemed to have no answer to that.
She turned around in her seat, as much as the seat belt allowed, and continued her study. Paul had a 12-gauge shotgun and a .223 carbine mounted right behind the driver’s seat, same as in her own truck. The mounts had hidden release buttons so the agents could get the guns out one-handed and quickly.
But where her truck had a catch-all supply of stuff, from paper towels to zip ties to evidence bags to fast-food wrappers thrown in the back, Paul’s backseat was empty but for a zippered storage container normal people used for shoes. Each space held different things, all neatly arranged. Jena spotted evidence bags in one. Zip ties in another. Notebooks. Citation books. Paperwork. A spare uniform hung over one window, with a dry-cleaner’s tag dangling from the shirt’s top button.
Good Lord. She turned back around.
“What did you learn?� Paul finally asked.
“You’re an obsessive-compulsive neat freak,â€� she said. “Accent on freak.”

“Hey Shelly, you’re looking at me like I’m from another planet. What’s wrong?â€�
“Nothing’s wrong. Bubbles sold me alien abduction insurance. I haven’t got a care in the world.”

“Rick raised his brow. “Who were you talking to?â€�
“M¾±±ô±ô¾±±ð.â€�
“Is she that tall woman you met the other day?�
Amelia nodded. “She’s our new client.�
“New client?� Rick’s brow rose with disbelief as he sat up straight. “You’re working on our honeymoon? No way! Don’t tell me you were promoting our business.�
“Hey! It’s not my fault,� defended Amelia. “She just walked up to me and asked for help. I couldn’t refuse her. She needs us.�
“How did she know you were a P.I.?�
Amelia pursed her lips tightly to prevent a smile. “Ummâ€� You seeâ€� Iâ€� Wellâ€�”

“Hey,â€� he called after her, his hands on his hips, “are therapists supposed to give patients heart attacks?”

“Her forehead wrinkled as she tried to remember where she’d met this man with raven hair and rugged features, a man who could give any Hollywood star serious competition if he was so inclined.”

“Get ready, old chap. Marriage is less about love and more about who is right.

There are men in this world, who can’t stand the regular Joe having a good life. These men have always gotta be stepping on someone. Makes them feel important, and they are usually standing behind a flag or a Bible to knock the other guy down. Don’t let these people take your dreams away.

It was a gut feeling she couldn’t explain except that it felt right� like thread going through a needle.

Envy is a horrible taskmaster. It turns the nicest people into snakes.”
