Books Quote by Vivienne Savage
““He yearned for a bath, and realization of the many things he could do once again flooded back to him at once. Read a book, sit at a table, soak in a tub. Embrace a woman. Without warning, he surrounded Ana with both of his arms and squeezed her tight, burying his face in her hair. How did she still smell so good even after a battle, with the scent of blood and smoke on her skin? “I’ll meet you in an hour,” he promised, sending her off with a soft pat on her bottom.””
