"You are not a perfect woman.You have an evil temper, you're as blind as a mole, you're a deplorable poet, and frankly, your French accent could use some work." Supporting himself on his elbows, Leo took her face in his hands. "But when I put those things together with the rest of you, it makes you into the most perfectly imperfect woman I've ever known."

"He shook his head, staring at her like a condemned man who beheld the face of his executioner. "Aline," he whispered, "Do you know what hell is?" "Yes." Her eyes overflowed. "Trying to exist with your heart living somewhere outside your body." "No. It's knowing that you have so little faith in my love, you would have condemned me to a lifetime of agony." His face contorted suddenly. "To something worse than death."

"Slowly his resistance ebbed. She felt the change in his body, the relaxing of tension, his shoulders curving around her as if he could draw her into himself. Murmuring her name, he brought her hand to his face and nuzzled ardently into her palm, his lips brushing the warm circlet of her gold wedding band. "My love is upon you," he whispered...and she knew then that she had won."

"I beg your pardon?" Catherine interrupted. "Are you implying that women have poor judgment?" "In these matters, yes." Leo gestured to Christopher. "Just look at the fellow, standing there like a bloody Greek god. Do you think she chose him because of his intellect?" "I graduated from Cambridge," Christopher said acidly. "Should I have brought my diploma?" "In this family," Cam interrupted, "there is no requirement of a university degree to prove one's intelligence. Lord Ramsay is a perfect example of how one has nothing to do with the other."

You're far too prickly tempered to be a mistress. You're far better suited as a wife.

"I want to know what your five-dollar wish was for." "Is that all?" He smiled beneath her exploring fingertips. "I wished you would find someone who wanted you as much as I did. But I knew it wouldn't come true." The candlelight slid over Daisy's delicate features as she raised her head to look at him. "Why not?" "Because I knew no one could ever want you as much as I do." Daisy levered herself farther over him until her hair tumbled in a dark curtain around them both. "What was your wish?" Matthew asked, combing his fingers through the fall of shimmering hair. "That I could find the right man to marry." Her tender smile stopped his heart. "And then you appeared."

"He took his mouth from hers and stared down at her with eyes so dark they no longer looked blue. "Amanda, do you trust me?" "Of course not," she said. "I don't know the first thing about you." Laughter rustled from his chest. "Sensible woman."
