Tessa Dare
“He didn't need to read a book on childbirth to know that the longer this went on, thee greater the danger to both Marigold and her kid. "I'll do it."
Gabe didn't know what the hell he was doing, but he was dead certain about one thing: He had to be in love with Lady Penelope Campion. Nothing less could have persuaded him to do this.
Penny, this is for you.
He rolled his sleeve to his biceps, drew a deep breath through his mouth, and shook out his hand. "I'm going in.”
Tessa Dare, The Wallflower Wager

Dena Moes
“Before enlightenment, cornflakes and coffee. After enlightenment, cornflakes and coffee.”
Dena Moes, The Buddha Sat Right Here: A Family Odyssey Through India and Nepal
