The Daring Duke Quotes

“You aren’t having something taken from you. Trust me, I know that feeling and this is not it. You are surrendering something. You fear it, so you’ll just let it go. Throw it away like it means nothing when it’s obvious it means everything.”
― Jess Michaels, The Daring Duke

“Of course I’ll—I’ll try. We will go as you desire. And I will try.” Her mother gave a triumphant gasp and hugged Emma before she rushed from the room, calling for her maid and shouting about gowns and hats, like the outburst before had never happened at all. After she was gone, Emma sank down into the closest chair and covered her face with her hands. Trying was one thing, succeeding was another. And in this moment, there didn’t seem much chance of success at all.”
― Jess Michaels, The Daring Duke
