Ashley Weaver
“I may as well tell you now, darling, that I don't intend to lose you to an old roué like Balthazar Lebeau."

"Well, after all, half the women in London have been in love with him at one time or another," I teased.

"What qualities, might I ask, does he have that I haven't?"

I considered. "You both have dark, good looks and very blue eyes. You both know the right things to say at the right time. You both know just the right way to hold a woman in your arms."

"I see I shall have to keep you away from him in the future. Or perhaps the more dramatic solution would be best? We'll go about things the way Armand and Durant might have—pistols at dawn!"

"Nonsense," I said, recovering my equilibrium. "You'd never get up so early in the morning!"

"To fight for you, I would," he replied.”
Ashley Weaver, An Act of Villainy

Barbara Sontheimer
“A haunting memory flooded over Ethan when his own little sister had died. He had not thought of her in years! He glanced at the other chairs that sat empty around the table and wondered how different, or better his life would have been if she had lived. He tried to imagine her sitting there, but had trouble conjuring up her face.”
Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing
