As a kid there’d been times when she wondered why she’d been born. It sounded self-pitying, and she wasn’t proud of those black moods, but she had honestly felt like a cosmic joke.

Because that’s what it felt like she was facing now. The Arrangement, Suzanne Forster Continue reading Quotes: The Arrangement by Suzanne Forster #Quotes #RomanticSuspense #Mystery #Romance

You’re driving on the highway and an eighteen wheeler in front of you kicks up a little rock, which hits your windshield with a surprising, loud snap.

That minuscule rupture has created fissures that compromise the stability of the whole. Eventually, everything you see through it will become fractured and broken, and another blow, however small, might cause the entire thing to collapse in a deadly, slicing … Continue reading Quotes: Beautiful Lies (Ridley Jones #1) by Lisa Unger #Quotes #MysteryThriller #Suspense
