| aba36a5 | You'll have to forgive me for being half-clothed, a chara," he apologized, "but I was robbed on my journey here by a group of damned thieving boys." Now what did he mean by that? Rose shut her eyes tightly and opened them again. No, he was still there. She filled her lungs with air, prepared to scream for all that was holy. "I won't be harming you," he said, lifting his hands in surrender, "but I would be most grateful for some clothes. Not.. | Michelle Willingham | ||
| fd07821 | Who are you?" she managed to ask. "And why are you here?" "I am Iain Donovan, the Earl of Ashton," he answered. "At your service." He bowed, and in his grin, she detected a teasing air. An Irishman, she was certain, given his speech patterns. But an earl? Exactly how empty headed did he think she was? Rose" | Michelle Willingham | ||
| 02350fd | What are you planning to do with that rake, a chara?" he inquired, taking another step closer. Rose gripped the handle with both hands and drew it closer, using the tool to keep him at a distance. "Nothing, if you go away." Truthfully, she didn't know exactly what she would do with the rake. It wasn't exactly suitable for stabbing someone. She could poke him with it, but not much else. This" | Michelle Willingham | ||
| 9b9d009 | What are your thoughts on finding Rose a husband? She said something about a Lord Burkham." Her smile faded. "The viscount is not right for Rose." With a dismissive gesture, she added, "He would bore her within a year." Good, Iain thought. He was glad to hear it. Though he supposed he had no right to feel possessive of Rose, he couldn't deny that her kiss had affected him. It had been an impulse, misguided by the need to touch a beautiful w.. | Michelle Willingham | ||

| 8e59f28 | Epidemics of childish ailments spread like a powder trail through the uprooted recruits, and many a village lad who had swaggered into the ranks with heroic ideas of fighting the Germans spent his first weeks as a soldier fighting a fever, scratching his spots or nursing a painful case of mumps. | Lyn Macdonald | ||

| 7e1ee76 | You cannot kill or steal from a man while he is asleep and heartbroken. While it is said that everything is fair in love an war, the dictum is nullified when both love and war occur simultaneously; then, the rules of battle become more stringent. The politics that lead to war can always be argued, but there is an undeniable sympathy that must be extended when a woman leaves a man. | Salvador Plascencia | ||

| 80110c8 | Misunderstandings are fine and many of the novels we read start out that way, but misinterpretations between adults are easily discussed and cleared up. | Cheryl St. John | ||
| 7e59d76 | When one does another person an injustice, in some mysterious way it does one good to discover (or to persuade oneself) that the injured party has also behaved badly or unfairly in some little matter or other; it is always a relief to the conscience if one can apportion some measure of guilt to the person one has betrayed. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 6a28eac | Mary dragged in a long breath as the kiss eased to an end, but she wouldn't look at him. Her cheeks were red, her eyes downcast. Mal put his hand under her chin, gently tilting her head up. "Don't feel shame, love. There's nothing shameful about kissing a man because you enjoy it." The look in her eyes when she finally met his gaze wasn't shame. It was defiance, and fear." | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| 1cff2fd | Audrey looked much like Mary- fair-haired with a touch of red in it, and blue-eyed. But while Mary's face was a bit round, holding the robustness of her father, Audrey had the more delicate features of their late mother. Her blue eyes were large in her face, her chin pointed, her mouth soft. When she smiled, she was lovely and ethereal. | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| bea91ff | She was sometimes called "the female Arthur Godfrey," combining a down-home charm with a keen and astute interviewing style. Her voice was "girlish, hesitant, often bewildered," in the opinion of Life magazine. Her stock in trade was innocence: "she preserved the air of a little girl lost in the big city," but managed to draw from the rich and famous revealing anecdotes and warm insights. She interviewed more than 1,200 people, from Sally R.. | John Dunning | ||

"Look at Boadicea, who led forces against the Roman army for a long, long time. Queen Elizabeth, who often had to remark she was 'only a woman' to spare the feelings of gentlemen she could outthink.

| fe72bc0 | Beth ached where they joined. The friction burned on her petals too long untouched, fire that made her want to open her legs wide. She did, sliding her feet on the covers, letting her hips arch upward. "Do you feel it?" Ian asked. A dozen phrases went through Beth's head, but she gasped out, "Yes." "Your cunny is tight, my Beth. Squeezing me so hard." He smiled when he said it, feral and raw. No man had ever done bawdy talk with her. Game g.. | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| eff41c4 | She was his lover. Beth laughed for the delight of it. Being with Ian was decidedly unrespectable, and she felt freer than she'd ever felt in her life. Under him, she could spread her wings. Beth laughed again. She was spreading herself as far as she could. Ian's eyes were closed, his face twisted in pleasure. His thrusts accelerated, his hips pounding as if it were the last coupling he'd ever have. He drove her into the mattress, his body .. | Jennifer Ashley | ||

Gli altri esseri umani, tutti tranne me, hanno la loro vita scandita dal passare delle ore, dei minuti, dei giorni, dei secondi, ma tutte queste cose non sono niente. L'universo riderebbe dei nostri tentativi di organizzarlo, se si prendesse la briga di notarli. Il tempo e .. | Emily Barr | ||
