“Love is not nonsense. It is everything. For without love what is a man? Just an empty shell. – Sir Lindsay Crawford (fellow knight/friend of hero, Troye de Valois)”

“Love needs no reason. It just is. – Lady Eleanor Raven (heroine)”

“You’re very handsome tonight, my lord.”“What’s this? A compliment from the lovely widow?”“A mere observation.”“Why do I suspect that you had too much to drink at dinner?”

“Everything you do seduces me. All you need to do is breathe and I would do anything for you.”

“Intimacy is a word with eight letters. A word with a sly hiss to it. But then it begins, like love affairs do, with a chance meeting, and then a raw empty something needing to be sated, something you didn‘t notice before…but suddenly it squawks like a hungry bird, day and night, refusing to be ignored. You love and revile it, this sore shrieking something. Or is it nothing? Or everything? It doesn‘t matter. It‘s yours. It‘s you.”

“What if your ménage fantasy became possible? Two gorgeous hunks, one dark and surly, the other blond and bright, lived to please and sexually fulfill you? What if you burned with passion like a cat in heat and only these two alpha males could satisfy you? What if you found out they were shape-shifters and so were you?" ~ Eliza ~”

“...take what you can get, and next time make it better.”
