“You fixed the tables?"
"Nonsense." Pippa grinned. "With what I know of Digger Knight, I would wager everything you have that these tables were already fixed. I unfixed them."
She was mad. And he loved it. His brows rose. "Everything I have?"
She shrugged. "I haven't very much, myself."
She was wrong, of course. She had more than she knew. More than he'd dreamed.
And if she asked, he'd let her wager with everything he owned.
God, he wanted her.
He looked around them, registering the flushed, excited faces of the gamers nearby, not one of them interested in the trio standing to the side. No one who was not playing was worth the attention. Not when so many were winning so much.
She was running the tables at one of the most successful casinos in London. He turned back to her. "How did you..."
She smiled. "You taught me about weighted dice, Jasper."
He warmed at the name. "I didn't teach you about stacked decks."
She feigned insult. "My lord, your lack of confidence in my intelligence wounds me. You think I could not work out the workings of deck stacking myself?"
He ignored the jest. Knight would kill them when he discovered this. "And roulette?"
She smiled. "Magnets have remarkable uses."
She was too smart for her own good. He turned to Temple. "You allowed this?"
Temple shrugged one shoulder. "The lady can be very... determined."
Lord knew that was true.”

“Obstacles and adversities often reveal whether or not we are doing something only or mainly for money.”

“A man who has caught a billion is not nearly as admirable as a boy (or even a man) who was caught by a million.”

“This book may or may not succeed. I wrote it for love, not money, but very often such books are the most successful, just as everything that is born of true love has life in it, as nothing constructed for mercenary ends can ever have.”

“I'm pretty sure the only thing that makes you look bad is how eager you were to invalidate a colleague's role in a groundbreaking discovery." She stood, scraping her chair against the concrete. Shouldered her purse and looked down at Dr. Yates, waiting for him to meet her eyes. Then she summoned her last reserve of courage and found her voice.
"The choice is yours, Dr. Yates. Lose out on access to the discovery of a lifetime, or give a deserving man his job back.”

“Rhysand's moon-white skin began to darken into nothing but shadow.
'Wait.'
The darkness consuming him paused. For Tamlin... for Tamlin I would sell my soul; I would give up everything I had for him to be free.
'Wait,' I repeated.
The darkness vanished, leaving Rhysand in his solid form as he grinned. 'Yes?'
I raised my chin as high as I could manage. 'Just two weeks?'
'Just two weeks,' he purred, and knelt before me. 'Two teensy, tiny weeks with me every month is all I ask.'
'Why? And what are to... to be the terms?' I said, fighting past the dizziness.
'Ah,' he said, adjusting the lapel of his obsidian tunic. 'If I told you those things, there'd be no fun in it, would there?'
...
I couldn't think entirely of the enormity of what I was about to give- or else I might refuse again. I met Rhysand's gaze. 'Five days.'
'You're going to bargain?' Rhysand laughed under his breath. 'Ten days.'
I held his stare with all my strength. 'A week.'
Rhysand was silent for a long moment, his eyes travelling across my body and my face before he murmured. 'A week it is.'
'Then it's a deal,' I said. A metallic taste filled my mouth as magic stirred between us.”

“He asked himself why he wanted his mother back. And his answer was because he was lonely. Because there was now a big, gaping hole where his heart used to be. But it wasn't loneliness, not really. Now that his mom was gone, Hart realized, he was completely without love in his life. It came to him with so much clarity, what he needed to wish for. He couldn't boil it down to anything smaller. He only needed a little anyway. It would go a long way.
He put the seed in the ground, closed his tear-soaked eyes, and spoke his wish out loud. "I wish for love."
The next day, he walked into a gas station store and found his love there waiting for him.”
