“A girl's life was defined by lines: fine lines, hairlines, bikini lines, class lines, the tightrope line between being a good girl and a slut. But there was always a moment when the lines blurred and a good girl had to decide whether to toe the line, cross the line, or stay safe behind the line that guarded her virtue.”

“Her eyes snapped to his, green and gold flecks alive with fire. ‘In my experience, if a man makes a mistake, it’s dismissed as youthful exuberance. If a woman makes a similar mistake, it only proves she’s not good enough!’ ‘Not on my ship.’ He bristled, knowing she spoke the truth and wanting to beat the senses out of any man who’d dared to question her worth. ‘Really?
