Chapter 81

• Lincoln desired Scarlett with a fervor that consumed him entirely, body and soul, and the knowledge that she reciprocated that desire with equal intensity made him feel invincible.
• No third party had the right to come between them, no external force could diminish what they had created together. Dane Creighton and his twisted obsessions belonged to the past, while their future stretched ahead, bright with possibilities.
• As Lincoln locked eyes with Scarlett in the intimate lighting of the aircraft cabin, he felt an electric current pass between them that seemed to charge the very air around them. The connection was almost tangible, a living thing that bound them together more securely than any legal document or spoken vow.
