Ante Up (High Stakes, #1)

by Christina C. Jones

Women are expected to endure, and ignore a lot, but that’s not my ministry,

“It’s always about fairness with you, isn’t it?” “What do you mean?” “I mean what I said. You’re always wanting things to be fair – for you, for me, for everybody.”

I shook my head. “I… I hadn’t realized.” “Trademark of someone who’s used to being taken advantage of. You refuse to go back, and refuse to do it to anyone else. Probably why you have a hard time handling someone not expecting anything in return when they do something nice for you – you can’t help wondering about the balance.”
