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

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
