| fda76d8 | Arianna and I walked side by side along the route that led through the center of Sanctuary the next day. All but invisible, or we tried to be. We'd honed our talent for blending in with our surroundings, drawing so little notice we might as well have been invisible--one of the skills we'd learned from Trees Speaking long ago. Invisibility, he'd taught us, was not a physical state, but a mental one. It came in handy when one needed anonymity.. | Maggie Shayne | ||

| e505f4b | Su padre habia intentado advertirselo. Si vendes tu alma al diablo, solo sera cuestion de tiempo que venga a buscarla. Pero su padre no le advirtio que el demonio podia ser tan hermoso que ella sentiria la tentacion de entregarle el alma sin dar la pelea. | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 7408d2b | As he shook off his servant's grip and staggered heavily to his feet, the sunlight streaming through the outside door struck him full in the face. Samantha gasped. A fresh scar, still red and angry, bisected the corner of his left eye and descended down his cheek in a jagged lightning bolt, drawing the skin around it taut. It had once been an angel's face with the sort of masculine beauty reserved only for princes and seraphim. | beauty wounded-hero blind | Teresa Medeiros | |

| 0f51de3 | Arian's ebony hair was spread in a shimmering fan around her shoulders, reminding Tristan absurdly of Snow White in her glass coffin. Even in death, hadn't the deceptive blush of life stained Snow White's pallid cheeks? Hadn't her rosebud lips parted as if to welcome a kiss from a prince who might never come? Hadn't the creamy swell of her breasts tantalized every hopelessly naive kid in the theater into daring to believe her chest would ri.. | fairy-tales-retold fairy-tales-for-adults | Teresa Medeiros | |

| 9af6407 | Be a dear and fetch a needle and some thread." Tucking one wayward breast back into her drooping bodice, Lottie muttered, "I don't think this is quite what Laura had in mind when she said my coming out would be the talk of the ton." | Teresa Medeiros | ||

| 9ffa252 | I thought we'd already determined that you haven't the right to order me about. That can only be purchased with a special license from the archbishop." He shook his head before saying softly, "I'm afraid I can no longer afford to purchase such a license. Not when it could cost the both of us so dearly." -- | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 104e013 | With that uncanny awareness of her presence, he stopped exactly a foot short of charging right over her and sketched her a formal bow. "Good afternoon, Miss Wickersham. I hope my attire meets with your approval." "You look quite the proper gentleman. Brummell himself would swoon with envy." She reached up to gently tweak a crooked fold of his cravat before realizing how wifely the gesture was. She hastily lowered her hand. It was not her pl.. | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 5af462d | For the first time, she understood why one deceptively simple act drove women to court ruin and men to risk everything. She understood why sonnets were written and duels were fought and lives were lost, all for the sake of the magic that was made when a man and woman came together, moving as one in the shadows of the night. | Teresa Medeiros | ||

| 5162181 | I don't know what was more exhausting--being forced to spew out overwrought poetry for hours on end or having that little girl gaze at me all night as if I hung the moon." A wry smile touched Adrian's lips. "Didn't you?" "No," Julian retorted, lifting the decanter to the sky in a mocking toast. "Only the stars." | stars moon dreamy man-on-the-moon mystified swoon vampire sexy | Teresa Medeiros | |
| 885ae1c | Me mum always told me the rich was blessed, but I thought she was talkin' about gold." She leaned over to cackle in his ear, then actually patted him on the head as if he was some slavering lapdog. "You might have escaped the gallows, lad, but you was already well hung." | raunchy joke | Teresa Medeiros | |
| dfb456d | Can I sleep with you the whole time we're here, Laura? Can I? Oh, please say I can!" Every eyes, except for the ever discreet Addison's, turned to the duke. Sterling cleared his throat awkwardly, a most endearing flush creeping up his jaw." | Teresa Medeiros | ||

| 01c7a19 | I would be remiss not to give equal credit to Burke's man here," Farouk amended, earning a smug smirk from Ash's companion. "He was clever enough to offer his throat to one of the villains as a distraction while his master dispatched the rest of them." The man's smirk vanished, only to reappear on Ash's lips." | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 25224b6 | Her boldness only served to remind him that he had strayed into a world of masculine privilege even greater than the one he had left behind in England all those years ago. Here a man's word literally was law, and women were considered little more than pretty playthings to be used and then discarded when a man's attention wandered to a more enticing pleasure. | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| d083bc0 | The wicked gleam had returned to his eyes. "Why the sudden urgency? From what I understand, you're not scheduled to get married until the sixth anniversary of your twenty-first birthday." | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| fd5032a | Ash swept his gaze over the room. "Well, we have a vicar, guests, and a bride. It seems all we're lacking is a groom." "Are you volunteering yourself for the position, Captain?" Clarinda asked primly. "I heard a rumor that you'd recently become unemployed." Moving closer to her, Ash lifted one shoulder in a nonchalant shrug. "This may be my only chance to catch you between fiances. And besides, where am I going to find a corpulent sodomit.. | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 27f7a50 | Gwendolyn had been seeking to atone for her father's sins, but instead she found herself exalted by this potent combination of power and vulnerability, both Bernard's and hers. She was no longer his captive, but a willing supplicant on the altar of his pleasure. Her absolution was sweeter than anything she had anticipated, but not nearly as sweet as the moment when Bernard dropped to his knees and pressed her cheek to his thundering heart. | Teresa Medeiros | ||
| 724cb5e | I'll give you a ten-thousand-dollar bonus if you can get them to stop calling me the 'Boy Billionaire.' It makes me feel like Bruce Wayne without the Batmobile. And I did just turn thirty-two. I hardly qualify as a 'Boy' anything. | Teresa Medeiros | ||

| 8c19937 | But what of friends? There is no accepted answer, perhaps because true friendship is so exceedingly rare. But I have formulated my own. A friend need not be kept either within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if the paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his vie.. | Timothy Zahn | ||
| 65af8cb | All opponents are not necessarily enemies. But both enemies and opponents carry certain characteristics in common. Both perceive their opposite as an obstacle, or an opportunity, or a threat. Sometimes the threat is personal; other times it is a perceived violation of standards or accepted norms of society. | Timothy Zahn | ||

But the Grysks...three can command a nation. A hundred can rule an entire world. Billions of beings, their hearts and souls broken, ready to fight and die at the order of a handful of aliens. No resistance, no revolt, no dissent, no hope." | Timothy Zahn | ||
