" I have never been swept off my feet by a woman before. And she has done it twice in one day. I wonder, my dear Maxine, if I have left you as perplexed and intrigued? I do very much hope so. I will have you come to me in the end. I think I will have you willingly kneel to me. "

― Kathryn Ann Kingsley , Heart of Dracula (Immortal Soul, #1)
