A Scot in the Dark (Scandal & Scoundrel #2)

by Sarah MacLean

Younger sisters were clearly a punishment for ill deeds in former lives.

“My reputation is ruined, because I am a woman, and we are not our own. We belong to the world. Our bodies, our minds.”

“You do not let them win. Not ever. There is nothing in the world they like more than tearing a woman down for having too much courage. And there is nothing in the world that makes them angrier than not being able to break her.”

You think I do not love you? How can you not understand it? I love you beyond reason.

“Because all men are addlepated imbeciles who deserve to be strung up by their thumbs in St. James Park and set upon by bees.”

You are the most glorious woman I have ever known, beautiful and passionate and powerful beyond measure, and no man will ever be worthy of you, especially not me.
