Once Upon a Duke Quotes

“Why do you hate Christmas?” she whispered. It was not the real question she meant, but much easier to ask than why do you keep leaving me?”
― Erica Ridley, Once Upon a Duke

“With a sigh, she lifted her eyes to his. “I know why you’re leaving this time. You’re a duke. You have a duty to Parliament.” He gave a curt nod. Her next words were a whisper. “Why did you leave last time?” “Because I wanted to stay.”
― Erica Ridley, Once Upon a Duke
