The Bachelor (Duke Dynasty, #2)

by Sabrina Jeffries

“Everyone wants something that is theirs alone. If you had returned with your brother, you would have lived in his shadow the way I live in your family’s shadow. If anyone understands why you didn’t want that, it’s me.”

“You say that you are cynical about love and marriage? Well, I’m beyond cynical. Knowing that most men see me as a walking bank has a way of keeping me from liking them.”

“The thing about love is, it’s like drinking fire and trusting it not to burn you, though it seems to burn everyone else. It means trusting someone when by all accounts you shouldn’t. Because you know, somewhere deep in your heart, that the person you’re trusting is worthy of that.”
