Ruthless by Gena Showalter
~ A husband willing to betray his wife, a confidante he had vowed to love and cherish above all others, could be trusted by no one. Deceive one, deceive all. A traitor was a traitor, no exceptions. Ch8
~ Change your thoughts, and you changed your words. Change your words, and you changed your actions. Change your actions, and you changed your habits. Change your habits, and you changed your character. Change your character, and you changed your destiny. Ch11
~ Hot tears streaked her cheeks, her emotions surging. First came shock. Then rage and grief. Finally, agony. Each built upon the backs of the others. She struggled to make sense of what had happened.
~ There was no such thing as an obstacle-free life.
~ Unfair! He had suffered so little, while her pain was eating her alive. Ch13
~ So desperate for companionship, she'd felt the bottomless void, needing, always needing. Willing to risk waking up in a strange world just to create a friend. A link with someone, anyone. Ch18
~ She ruined things, and she wasn't worth the trouble he'd suffered on her behalf. Ch23
~ Could her enjoy anything at all? He thought he might be broken now. Wrong. No "thought" about it. He was broken, and there was no way to repair himself. Ch26
