1 " Mr. Alexander Graham Bell claims to have invented [photophone transmitter], though really it was created through a collaborative effort with Mr. Charles Sumner Tainter. In all honesty,” she said, “a great inventor needs a healthy amount of conceit. Mr. Bell and, fellow inventor, Mr. Edison would declare they’d created the moon and the tides between them if they could get away with the claim. "

2 " Finding peace and contentment with Evernight—two emotions he was certain he’d never found in bed with a woman before—was entirely unacceptable. When awake, the woman was prickly as a hedgehog and about as lovable as a block of ice. "
3 " Do you not understand?” he whispered. “I have never belonged to anyone. Not since I was a child. It is a lonely thing to be unclaimed by another. The idea that I could be yours seduces me more than you can know. "

Clutching the chair at his side, Will swayed into her space, lured by the luscious heat and pleasure that she gave him with that simple touch. A moan escaped him."Interesting," she murmured.He would kill her. Just for that. "I do believe I hate you, Miss Evernight."Firelight caressed her skin as she gave him the smallest of smiles. "Your sense of humor is odd."He hadn't been joking. "

7 " There she is," he announced in an almost sing-song manner, "my little devil lass, looking like a vision from Hell. "
8 " By the time she'd finished with him, with a little encouraging pat and a request that he rest quiet like a good lad, there was no point in denying it: Holly Evernight would be the death of him. "
9 " Hello," he whispered.Her smile turned tremulous. "Hello. "
10 " Before he could say a word, she moved closer and pressed her smooth palm to his scar.He nearly swooned.

11 " It was my intention to create a heart that worked well enough for Amaros to put one within his own body," she said. "That was his ultimate plan. Once he did, it would have made him weaker. Then I could kill him. "
12 " A word of advice, Miss Evernight. The devil wears many hats. Believing in appearances, whether pretty ones or ugly ones, could find you skewered. "
13 " From flesh to bone to blood of heart, shall we be entwined, never to part. "
