Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell

He was the boy who'd cried over his dead mother, the young man who'd lost himself in drink and women to forget the past, the marquess who'd vowed not to marry for money. He was the man to be her lover. ~Sabrina Jeffries
