― Lisa Kessler, Legend of Love

“Her nails dug into his shoulders as she kissed her way up his neck, tasting the salt of his skin. “You make me weak.”

He looked my way. “You won’t hate him. I’ve seen enough of my packmates find the other half of their soul. It’s not always a smooth process, but fate hasn’t messed up even once.” He sobered, his eyes searching mine. “Whoever he is, he’s lucky, and he doesn’t even know it yet.”
― Lisa Kessler, Wolf Moon

“Keegan rested his forearm on the wheel. “If the spell is fading, you could’ve grown old with this woman. She never had to know you were the Quartermaster on the Sea Dog when it sank in 1795.”

Her eyes narrowed as she chuckled. “You must have women throwing themselves at you with lines like that. What are you doing here?”

“I came to see if Flynn Enterprises has made an offer to buy your property.” His gaze wandered against his better judgement. On his ship, she’d been wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Now her curves were covered by a quality replica of a pirate’s frock coat, complete with deck boots, a bandana covering her hair, and a single hoop earring. “Didn’t take you for a pirate earlier today.”

“You seriously came over here to talk to a stranger about private financial information, and then you have the balls to comment on her work attire?” She raised a brow.

“We’re hardly strangers.” He struggled to hold back a smile and offered his hand. “I don’t think I introduced myself earlier. I’m Colton. Colton Hayes.”

She looked at his hand and finally opened the door. “Skye Olson. And apparently I’m a glutton for punishment.”

“He took her hand again, enjoying the spark of fire that lit through his bloodstream and led her through the fog toward River Street.

Seeing the usually bustling area empty was equally beautiful and haunting. It brought back memories of earlier days. Centuries before cell phones and email.

Back when his crew would drop anchor in the cloak of night and shanghai new crew members out of the pubs.

Lifetimes ago.”
― Lisa Kessler, Magnolia Mystic

“How had his life changed so much in one day?

He tipped his head to see her face. She’d changed everything.

And he suspected he’d never get enough.”

This guy could be trouble.

And she’d sworn off that.”

“Wait until you see Savannah from up here.” He clasped her other wrist, too. “Let go, Skye. I won’t let you fall.”

She looked up into his eyes. “Putting my life in your hands is more trust than I intended on a first date.”

His lips twitched into a tentative smile. “Didn’t know we were on a date.”
― Lisa Kessler, Magnolia Mystic

“She rocked her hips into him and gasped. “Do you have a sleeping cabin on this boat?”
His teeth brushed her ear. “Yes.”
“Do you have protection?”
Her question didn’t register through the haze of his hunger for her.
“Cannons, a cutlass, and a few pistols.”
She chuckled and kissed him again.
“How about condoms?”
― Lisa Kessler, Magnolia Mystic

“She wet her lips. “And she didn’t warn you about me?”

“Should she have?”

Erica finished her drink, relishing the burn in her belly and the flush of heat in her cheeks as she nodded. “Definitely.”

His gaze smoldered. “It’s a good thing danger is my calling, then.”

“Good to know,” she said with a sly smile.”
