“The Villain leaned down and spoke quietly in Evie’s ear, his voice smoky
and dark. “I don’t need your books.” His dark gaze on her was a caress, a
finger running down her cheek. “I already have it.” It felt like a secret
confided and a bitter confession all rolled into one.
What in the deadlands? “You already have what?”
His eyes lingered on her face, dipping to her red lips. “Inspiration.”
Now, why does that seemingly ordinary word suddenly sound absolutely
filthy?
Probably because he’s saying it while staring at you like he wants to melt
your corset. And pathetically…it’s working.”

“Everything I vowed when you betrayed me—that I’d never feel anything again—it was all useless against her. She weakened every defense you built. The moment I met her and every day since has been irritating, confusing, stifling, frustrating, maddening, and absolute chaos. You cannot say I am incapable of caring for others. I’ve broken every promise I’ve made to myself. I didn’t have a choice”—his voice shook with rage and pain and longing—“in loving her.”

“The scarf Evie had given him at their fateful first meeting sat in Trystan’s
hands, and Alexander watched with a painful sympathy as Trystan brought
the scarf up to his face and closed his eyes.
It was too sad even for a cursed frog to watch.
Alexander Kingsley turned his attention to the floor while his friend
mourned a fate that Alexander swore he could prevent.
If only he were human enough to stop it.”
