“It’s been bothering me more and more that I can’t ever see anything objectively, that every observation I make is filtered through my personal lens whether I like it or not. I mean, all my favorite novels are like that. F. Scott Fitzgerald basically is Gatsby, so obviously it’s Gatsby’s book, and Daisy comes off like a flake. But maybe in Daisy’s unwritten book, Gatsby is a flashy, patronizing asshole who thinks he could win her with money and fancy stuff. And that might be an even better book. Eventually,”

Scarlett Epstein Hates It Here
“Being ignored was the gravest form of insult, for it showed an incredible dearth of compassion and feeling both. She must have meant less than nothing to him.” ― Scarlett Scott, Her Errant Earl
“Do not, she urged her inner vixen, look at the way those blue jeans fit his lean legs. Do not notice how he’s filled out in all the right places.” ― Scarlett Scott, She Likes Him Bad
“she” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Reckless
“Love is worth fighting for.” ― Scarlett Scott, The Venus and the Viscount
“His gaze seared hers. “You are mistaken, Emilia.” He still held her hands in his tender grasp, and though she knew she ought to tug them away, instead, she found herself gripping him back, her fingers tightening on his. “Mr. Winter?” “Dev.” His deep voice made her shiver. The expression upon his face unnerved her. And the way he was looking at her—that dark gaze boring into her soul, it seemed—made her melt. Melt.” ― Scarlett Scott, Wicked in Winter
“We are not the sums of our pasts, Alessandro.” Still gently caressing his face as if he were beloved to her, her gaze burned into his. Searing in its violet intensity. “We are our futures. We cannot change what has happened, cannot undo what has been done. All we can do is live for tomorrow rather than for yesterday.”She was right.” ― Scarlett Scott, Earl of Every Sin
“She trembled, though it wasn’t with fear. It was with something else, something far more authoritative. Her own need.” ― Scarlett Scott, Her Reformed Rake
“course, she could not compare to a Mrs. Nulty, some lush creature who groomed herself to be the object of every man’s desire so she might wheedle her living out of his purse whilst on her back. Oh, bother. That was deucedly small of her. And perhaps shrewish. She was not in a position to cast judgment.” ― Scarlett Scott, Duke of Depravity
“his” ― Scarlett Scott, Nobody's Duke
“the rest” ― Scarlett Scott, Winter's Woman
“Antediluvian,” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Lawless
“Of course that was not how she imagined their union would be. Nothing about the Earl of Sinclair suggested he was a man who would do her bidding. She maintained her silence as he worked, trying to ignore the unsettled way his commanding presence felt at her back” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Ruthless
“She was two different versions of herself. With her family and closest friends, she was garrulous and witty. But when she ventured amongst others, she was cool and quiet and shy. A wallflower, forever on the periphery.” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Wallflower
“Cross off each item on your list with me.” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Wallflower
“Friends do not allow friends to marry murderers.” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Ruthless
“Nothing could have prepared me for you. But now that I have you, I never want to let you go.” A truer confession had never come from his lips.” ― Scarlett Scott, Lady Lawless
“any” ― Scarlett Scott, Sutton's Spinster
“The most important decision you can ever make in your life is to love someone. Loving is not easy. It is raw and messy and hard-won. But it is also worth every struggle made to gain it.” ― Scarlett Scott, Heartless Duke
