Quotes by Carol Marinelli (?)

“I haven’t seen her in ten years…I knew something was up, though not with her, of course, but since I got back from the accident…’ His logical, analytical mind just tripped at that point. ‘I knew something was wrong, I knew something wasn’t right—it just doesn’t make sense.”
― Carol Marinelli, Emergency: Wife Lost and Found

“her to fly away and develop a career in art, but then little had he known that he would not be around to make that possible. She only became aware that something was different when, still absorbed in her own thoughts, it dawned on her that the bar had grown silent. In the act of pulling a pint, she raised her eyes and there, framed in the doorway, was one of the most startlingly beautiful men she had ever seen in her life. Tall, windswept dark hair raked back”
― Carol Marinelli, Harlequin Presents May 2014 - Bundle 1 of 2: The Only Woman to Defy Him / Gambling with the Crown / Secrets of a Ruthless Tycoon / A Clash with Cannavaro
