Synopsis

Aiden Murphy has always made me
nervous. * He’s larger than life. Always the
center of attention. I’m the opposite. I hate to have everyone’s eyes on me. He lives his life in public, and I like
to live behind the scenes. I had never been on his radar one
single day in his very loud life, and then I was… * What is it about Sabrina Cabot that
throws me off my game? * This uptight senator’s daughter is the
exact opposite of the type of woman I’m typically attracted to… and maybe
that’s a good thing. She makes me want to be a better man. To get more serious about life. To slow down. To give more. But will she be willing to give me her
heart? * At some point, life has to be more than
a game. |

Quote(s)
|
1.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you
strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage. – Lao Tzu 2.
Real Queens fix each other’s crowns. 3.
I’m pregnant. 4.
You could get a cavity just looking at
them. 5.
How the fuck am I going to break this
to my mom? It’s going to break her heart. My mom is that mom. The one
who shows up for everything. The mom who brought oranges for the whole team
to every football game until I asked her to stop my freshman year in high
school. 6.
The way he looks at her gives me hope
that good men still exist and love is real. 7.
Since I was a little girl, it’s been
drilled into me that I have to be beyond reproach. There are always people
looking to take down a politician, and they have no problem using families to
get to them. 8.
Bleach my eyes is more like it. What the
hell, Mom? Is there something wrong with your bedroom? 9.
There’s no baby. 10.
It’s sad, but there are a whole group
of girls who think the potential to land a future pro athlete is the best
part of this school. They don’t have any life goals beyond being a trophy
wife. 11.
You always make it look so easy, like
it’s all a game to you. You like to be the life of the party. You’re the
funniest guy in the room, and you have no problem letting people think they’re
smarter than you. Don’t act like you’re less than you are. You wouldn’t have
gotten into this school if you were a moron. At some point, life has to be
more than a game. 12.
I wasn’t kidding when I told Murphy I don’t
make friends easily. My parents have made me skeptical of everyone’s
intentions. Combine that with my inner shy girl who never feels like she fits
in, and it’s a bad combination. 13.
I want exciting. I want to not be able
to control myself, to want it right then and there. 14.
I hate girls like her. They get off on
drama, humiliation, and hurting someone else. I refuse to let her do that to
Murphy. 15.
She loves this: being a senator’s wife.
I’m not sure if she loves my father, but she loves who she gets to be because
of him. 16.
I want to be a power player, not
married to one. I want to be a kingmaker,
not a king or queen. Behind the scenes, quietly
pulling the strings. Someone else can be the
public figure. I want to find a candidate I
believe in and be their chief of staff. Help take them from being candidate
to congressman, senator, governor or more. I don’t want to be window
dressing. 17.
Now, Sabrina, if you think you’re
mature enough to be having sex, you have to be mature enough to be
responsible. 18.
If the people who are supposed to love
you can hurt you continuously, what can the people you chose to let in do to
your heart? 19.
You live your life in public, and I’m
the opposite. I like to be behind the scenes. I hate to have everyone’s eyes
on me. You want to be the king, and I want to be the kingmaker. 20.
I’ve never been on your radar a single
day in your very loud life, and then I was… and that’s pretty intimidating. 21.
The women I usually take to bed don’t
give a shit about taking care of anyone but themselves, and that’s always
been okay. They’re using me to say they fucked around with a football player.
Maybe one day, they’ll be able to say they screwed that guy on that pro team.
Whatever, I’ve always been good with that because I’m using them for a
no-strings release as much as they’re using me. It works for everyone involved. 22.
“Be careful with my heart, Murphy.” The
vulnerability in my voice scares me but not him. Leaning down, he kisses me
gently. “I’ll guard it with my life, Princess.” 23.
Jerry Maguire might have been a tool,
but he got one thing right. Finding that person who completes you is a
powerful thing. 24.
Who knows how far she will be able to
go when it’s her turn? What I do know is that you will only drag her down. 25.
You are so lucky Declan saw Murphy in
here, because if you’d gotten the chance to do any damage to my relationship
with this little conversation you’re having with the man I love, I swear
to God, Mother, I would destroy you. 26.
Aiden Murphy is an incredible man. He’s
caring and protective, and he thinks about other people before he thinks of
himself, something you know nothing about. He makes me feel safe and like I’m
enough, by myself, without having to prove my worth over and over. I’m not
surprised you’re too blind to see it because none of that benefits you. It only
benefits me. 27.
Aiden and I are leaving, and you’re not
going to speak a word of this, or I’ll tell the world what I saw you doing
with the senate majority leader earlier. 28.
There are certain times in your life
you know you’ll never forget. Your first kiss. Your first love. The first time you find the
thing you’re good at and start making plans for the future. The first time you realize
your parents aren’t perfect, but mere mortals like everyone else. The first time you realize
life isn’t guaranteed. That you aren’t safe just
because you’re young. That it can all be taken
away in an instant. That nothing is guaranteed. This will be the day I remember
as the day my definition of safety and invincibility was forever altered. 29.
Sweet baby Jesus in a manger 30.
There is also grief counselling available,
you might think that doesn’t sound manly, but part of being a man is knowing
how to deal with your emotions. 31.
Tell them you’re bringing Murphy with
you if you want, but go. Give them a chance to fix this, or go and tell them
what you’re willing to accept and what you aren’t. But either way, you need to go. This is the world you want ot be
in after graduation. This is politics, so be political. Make it work for you. 32.
Sabrina, your mother has as much right
to speak for this family as I have to speak for her. You’ll learn that to have
any kind of a successful relationship, the partnership between you and that
person has to command a certain level of trust. I trust your mother to always
have the good of our family as her first priority. 33.
Prove me wrong, Aiden. I’m giving you a
chance. I want nothing more than for you to prove me wrong. Make her happy. Make
her proud of you and proud to be with. If you do that, I will be your biggest
champion. 34.
Sabrina’s a good girl. Be good to each
other. Never stop talking, and never stop laughing. Even when things get
tough. 35.
She’s already dabbing away tears as two
beautiful little identical blonde toddlers walk down the aisle. |
