Chasing Cassandra (The Ravenels, #6)

by Lisa Kleypas

If you ask me, a woman would benefit far more from a diversified investment portfolio than love.”

“Sweetheart . . . Severin isn’t like any other man you’ll ever meet. He’s brilliant, unprincipled, and ruthless by nature. I can’t think of a single man in England, not even Winterborne, who’s positioned so exactly at the center of forces that are changing life as we know it. Someday he may be mentioned in history books.

Is that supposed to put her off?

“Marry me, Cassandra—and we’ll tell them all to go to hell.”

Best proposal ever

“Your body isn’t an ornament designed for other people’s pleasure. It belongs to you alone. You’re magnificent just as you are. Whether you lose weight or gain more, you’ll still be magnificent. Have a cake if you want one.”
