“You make me burn with life, and yearn to set aside my cold and distant, solitary ways.”

Stacy Reid,
The Duke's Shotgun Wedding
“Love was something he had banished from his life years ago out of necessity, but she made him yearn to be loved.” ― Stacy Reid, The Duke's Shotgun Wedding
“You are the only person I've ever wanted to share my silence” ― Stacy Reid, My Darling Duke
“Livvie has her own opinions and isn't afraid to voice them," he murmured.Tobias reclined in his chair in a deliberately casual pose. "So I've discovered.""And what will you do with your ... discovery?""There is nothing to be done.""Many men would say she is unruly, headstrong, and disobedient. In need of a firm guiding hand."Was the man trying to persuade him to call off the rushed engagement? "Olivia is not a horse and I am not other men.” ― Stacy Reid, Wicked in His Arms
“God, how I want you.You are my obsession.” ― Stacy Reid, The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell
“What is love for you, Niall? A woman who accepts you unconditionally?”“No.”“Then what?”“A lady…a lady who understands there might be rough times in our lives, either because of my past or hers, but is strong enough to walk beside me through any storm. A lady who is strong enough to trust me with her emotions and well-being and knows she will be safe to cry on my shoulder always. Love with that woman will be passionate and hungry, but in the calm times, we also know that our love is still strong; we are simply slowing down. Love with her will be…” He raked his hands through his hair. “Chaotic but beautiful.” ― Stacy Reid, A Scoundrel of Her Own
“I did not expect anyone to be here," he said. "I thought you would be asleep by now."She stared into his eyes for a long moment, hating how distant they seemed. "You've been swimming.""Yes. And it did not work.""What did not work?""I still want you."Her heart was in her throat. She had not expected such honesty. "That is why you've been swimming ... because you desire me?""Yes.""And is that so terrible?""Evidently."She worked to contain her emotions. "Why?""I have never hungered for another woman the way I do you," he said. "I do not like it.” ― Stacy Reid, Wicked in His Arms
“Is he still there?" She asked huskily."Hmm,""What is he doing?""I don't know.""Aren't you looking?""No."She let out an exasperated huff. "Why not?""I am too busy staring at you.” ― Stacy Reid, Her Wicked Marquess
“I think love does not lie. Even if it is painful and frightening, love is honest. Love is also about trust…faithfulness and loyalty to each other. I think most importantly…love must be in the kindness a couple shows each other, and there must be laughter in love.”All the things I have been slowly finding with you.” ― Stacy Reid, A Scoundrel of Her Own
“Never feel guilty for any desire or passion you feel.” ― Stacy Reid, Letters to Emily
“Do you have any affections for me?" she asked boldly, as was her way, jutting her chin, and damn if she was not staring him down."No."She flinched."What I feel for you is beyond affection. At the crest of each dawn I think of being inside you. I write and you crowd my thoughts. I sleep and you are the last person I think of, and damn me if when I wake, you are not the first person I fucking look for. I think that borders on obsession wife, not mere affection.” ― Stacy Reid, Wicked in His Arms
“The best thing to do was read a book to calm her whirling thoughts.” ― Stacy Reid, Her Wicked Marquess
“I believe people look away because it is uncomfortable to gaze upon another’s pain when it is bare for the world to see. How do they relate? Or offer words of compassion when they truly cannot understand your pain?” ― Stacy Reid, My Darling Duke
“Life was not limitless… It would invariably end, and the idea that she might never experience something as beautiful as she witnessed cut her to her soul.” ― Stacy Reid, A Scoundrel of Her Own
“I would lay the world at your feet if I could, Katherine.""I do not need the whole world. Just a little bit of you, Alexander” ― Stacy Reid, My Darling Duke
“The beauty of silence is that it simply is. In the stillness and tranquility, I find peace. Instead of being afraid of the void, I embrace it.” ― Stacy Reid, My Darling Duke
“I love you, Miss Peppiwell. Scandal will follow us all our lives, I wager. But to experience your indomitable spirit, your passion, and sensuality, and the love I can see so clearly in your eyes, is more than enough to fill a lifetime without a single regret.” ― Stacy Reid, The Irresistible Miss Peppiwell

“Be my friend…be my wife…my duchess. I promise to love you with every breath in my body and every emotion in my heart until the end of my days, Katherine. I vow it.” ― Stacy Reid, My Darling Duke
