Forever and a Duke (Rogues to Riches, #3) QUOTES

21 " You are modest,” he said, propping an elbow along the top of the wooden screen. “I would not have anticipated that in such a practical woman. I like it.”
Ellie tossed her dress at him. “You are naked. I like that.”
“A duke is always appropriately attired for the occasion.”
“You are awful.” Awfully dear, drat him.
“Come to bed, Eleanora, and I’ll improve your opinion of me.”
And there was the problem no amount of tallying or rounding could solve. Ellie not only desired Elsmore, she respected him and liked him....

22 " She was also nestled amid the quilts like a contented cat, while Rex wasted precious moments deciding between lovemaking and proposing....
“I will plot your course, lest you catch your death. You climb into bed, we make passionate love, then we fall asleep on a cloud of contentment. You will not apply your cold feet to my person at any time, and you will discreetly take yourself off in the small hours, lest there be awkwardness in the morning for the chambermaid.”

23 " You are a lady. My lady, and my lover.” Won’t you be my wife? That was what made Eleanora so precious. She would be not only Rex’s duchess, appearing on his arm for the requisite social occasions, managing his households, and guarding his interests. She would also be his wife, his ally, his confidante, his lover. The safe haven for his soul, the intimate delight of his heart. "
