Quotes by Jayne Fresina (?)

“He knew then he was in danger. Very real danger. No woman had ever given him a gift or spoken to him as she did. Or tied him in these breathless knots. Or left him so aroused just by standing close and letting him hold her hand.”
― Jayne Fresina, Once Upon a Kiss

“He was back. Of course he was, she thought scornfully. He'd returned after all that time, just when she looked her very worst and had a pimple.”
― Jayne Fresina, How to Rescue a Rake

“[They] talked mostly of their memories, for the past was all they had - the present being such a changable, odd thing, and the future too far away.”
