Kindle Notes & Highlights
“God damn you!” he bit out savagely, his glittering eyes alive with rage. “That horse you just killed had more courage and more loyalty than most men! He had so damned much of both that he let you send him to his death.” Sorrow and terror were etched on Jenny’s pale face, but they had no softening effect on her captor, who tightened his painful grip on her hair, forcing her head further back, “He knew there was nothing but thin air beyond that tree, and he warned you, and then he let you send him to his death!”

DIE YOU HORSE KILLING BITCH DIE!!!!!!
“It was a mistake,” he said flatly, “for both of us. It won’t happen again.” It was the very last thing she’d expected him to say, and as he turned and walked swiftly out of the tent into the night,
Fucking idiot
Passion was still smoldering in those smoky gray eyes. Quietly and without emphasis he stated, “I want you.”
“Have you any idea how beautiful you are?”
“It is Our decision that you will proceed to Scotland at once, whereupon you will wed Lady Jennifer Merrick in the presence of diplomatic emissaries from both courts, and in full view of her kinsmen.
YES!!!! ARRANGED MARRIAGE!!!!
“You are mad!” she snapped, her chest heaving. “And you are a devil!” “And you, my dear,” Royce imperturbably replied, “are a bitch.” With that, he turned to the horrified friar and unhesitatingly announced, “The lady and I wish to be wed.”
I love this
“Why is it when you yield, I feel like the one who has been conquered?”
“Why is it,” Royce murmured, gazing into her intoxicating eyes, “that every time you surrender willingly, like this, you make me feel like a king who has conquered. Yet when I conquer you against your will, you make me feel like a defeated beggar?”
“An apology for the trouble I have caused you is not enough, my lady, but ’tis long overdue. I make it now, most sincerely, in hopes you will someday find it in your heart to forgive me.” The apology was made with such sincerity, and so prettily, that Jenny could not, in the spirit of the evening and the dictates of good manners, do anything but accept it, which she did. Her reward was an irrepressible grin from her new brother-in-law, who leaned forward and said, “Naturally, I needn’t apologize to my brother, for ’twas a grand favor I did him. ” Jenny couldn’t help it; that notion was so

THIS IS ADORABLE!!!!
“What’s wrong?” Royce asked, watching her expression turn somber. Jenny shrugged and lightly said, “I was merely thinking that it’s natural you’d want children, and—” Tipping her face up to his, Royce said quietly, “I want your children.”
How foolish to yearn to ask the very person who’d caused the pain to heal it,
The woman he had married would not accept his word, nor his love, but, oddly, she accepted his apology. “Thank you,” she said achingly, “for not trying to convince me or yourself that he was an assassin. ’Twill make it much easier for us—for you and I to . . .” Jenny’s voice trailed off as she tried to think what lay ahead for them, but all she could think of was what they had once shared—and lost. “For you and I to—treat each other courteously,” she finished lamely. Royce drew an unsteady breath and turned his head to her. “And that’s all you want from me anymore?” he asked, his voice rough

WHY??? YOU TWO WERE SO HAPPY!!!!!
She swallowed audibly, then jumped in shock as Arik’s flattened hand suddenly came to rest atop her head. As heavy as a war hammer, it stayed there for a moment, then it slid down to her cheek, pulling her face against his side. It was a hug.
AWWWW I LOVE ARIK!!
He has disowned us both.”
SNEAKY MOTHERFUCKING LITTLE MAN BITCH!!
“Jenny, ” he whispered hoarsely, burying his face in her fragrant hair. “Jenny, I love you.” She melted against him, molding her body to the rigid contours of his, offering her lips up for his fierce, devouring kiss, then she took his face between both her hands. Leaning back slightly against his arm, her melting blue eyes gazing deeply into his, his wife replied in a shaky voice, “I think, my lord, I love you more.”
How strange, Royce thought, that, after emerging victorious from more than a hundred real battles, the greatest moment of triumph he had ever known had come to him on a mock battlefield where he’d stood alone, unhorsed, and defeated.
Closing his eyes, Royce brushed a kiss against her smooth forehead. Thank you, he thought. And in his heart, he could have sworn he heard a voice answer, You’re welcome.
AWWWWWEE
Jenny was crying as she smiled back at them. After all, it’s not every day a woman is given a kingdom of dreams.
