One Night with a Prince
“He stared past her to the place at the other end of the dining table where Regina would sit as his wife. If she were here. If he hadn’t driven her away. “I’m not sure I know how to love, Louisa.” She took his hand. “Don’t be silly. Loving is easy. It’s finding someone to love you back that’s hard.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, To Pleasure a Prince
“Love is taking chances when every rational part of you screams, ‘Don’t risk it.’ Because it’s only when your heart has been ripped open that you get a chance to find the one person capable of making it whole.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, A Lady Never Surrenders
“What are you doing here?" she asked."You forgot something when you left Halstead Hall," he said hoarsely."What?"Her heart lept into her throat as he strode purposefully toward her. "Me.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, The Truth About Lord Stoneville
“No one in life can ever match fiction” ― Sabrina Jeffries, The Truth About Lord Stoneville
“It is better to be blind than to see things from only one point of view.” ― Sabrina Jeffries
“I swear, Oliver, when did you become such a stick-in-the-mud?”“I’ve always been a stick-in-the-mud.” Her brother cast her a thin smile. “I just hid it beneath all the debauchery.”She sniffed. “I wish you’d hide it again. It’s quite annoying.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, How to Woo a Reluctant Lady
“I always say that love is like the meat in a pie,” Freddy put in. “The crust is what people see—the practical things that hold a couple together. But love is the important part—without it you’ve got a meatless pie, and what’s the point of that?”“Why, Freddy,” Minerva said, “that was almost profound.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, How to Woo a Reluctant Lady
“A teacher had once told them that men were either beasts, gentlemen, or beasts masquerading as gentlemen. Might there be a fourth category — gentlemen masquerading as beasts?” ― Sabrina Jeffries, Snowy Night with a Stranger
“Watch it, minx," he warned with a lift of his brow. "If you intend to taunt me for every foolish statement I've made in my life, you'll force me to play Rockton and lock you up in my dark, forbidding manor while I have my wicked way with you."That sounds perfectly awful,"she said gazing at the man she loved. "How soon can we start?” ― Sabrina Jeffries, The Truth About Lord Stoneville
“Ah yes," Gabe said, "Pinter is ever the gallant when it comes to the ladies. He wouldn't risk leaving us alone with poor Miss Lake, for the fear one of us might spirit her off to our lair.""Why?" Miss Lake asked, with a lift of her brow. "Do you three make a habit of spiriting women off?""Only on Tuesdays and Fridays," Masters said. "Seeing as how it's Wednesday, your safe.""Unless you're wearing a blue garter, madam," Gabe quipped. "On Wednesdays, Masters and I have a great fondness for blue garters. Are your gaters blue, Miss Lake?""Only on Mondays and Thursdays." She dealt thirteen cards apiece to the two of them, then put the rest aside as the stock, turning the top card faceup. "Sorry gentlemen. I guess you'll have to spirit off some other woman.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, A Hellion in Her Bed
“No one is born to courage, Juliet. Courage is a habit you develop after cowardice has gotten you nothing.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, A Dangerous Love
“Lucy: I don't understand men.Nettie: What is there to understand? If you feed 'em regular-like and give 'em a bit of 'sugar' now and then, they're easy enough. And if they don't behave, you just toss 'em out on their arses. That's what I always say.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, Don't Bargain with the Devil
“If you never put your life in someone else's hands, then you can't really expect them to put theirs in yours. In the long run, never trusting anyone is a hard way to live.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, How to Woo a Reluctant Lady
“No disease is more dangerous than a bad husband, for if a woman catches that Pox, she'll languish from it her entire life.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, Never Seduce a Scoundrel
“Mother nature is a fickle and forgetful bitch," she snapped. "She needs a helping hand and I am trying to hurry her along for their sake.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, To Wed a Wild Lord
“I love you, Minerva. I love that you believe in me no matter what. I love how you take whatever you see and distill it into your books. I love your clever mind and your generous heart and every inch of your beautiful body. I love you even when you give me heart failure, by risking your life before my very eyes." He smiled tenderly. "I only hope in time I can prove worthy of your love.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, How to Woo a Reluctant Lady
“Her eyes began to shimmer with tears. “You . . . you love me?”His heart seemed permanently lodged in his throat. “More than life. God only knows why you love me, because I sure as hell don’t, but I know why I love you. You’re my beacon in the darkness, and my compass on a night sea. When I’m with you, I don’t want to dance with Death. I want to dance with Life. I want to dance with you. And whatever it takes, I mean to spend the rest of my life trying to deserve you.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, To Wed a Wild Lord
“Terence: As my old da used to tell me, 'never trust a rich man'.David: Good thing I'm only moderately rich.Terence: Which is why I only moderately distrust you.” ― Sabrina Jeffries, Wed Him Before You Bed Him
