Born in Sin (Brotherhood of the Sword #3/MacAllister, #2) QUOTES

1 " Henry's face went red in anger as he blustered at her audacity. It wasn't often anyone got the better of him, and Sin knew no woman had ever flummoxed him before. Not even Eleanor.

"You are willing to declare war for him ?" Henry asked indignantly.

She didn't hesitate with her response. "I am. Are you?"

Sin closed his eyes as he heard the most precious words of his life. She who believed in nothing but peace was willing to fight for him. He could die happily knowing that.

Still, he couldn't let her do this. Henry would not rest until he buried her and her clan. A king's reputation was all he had, and if Henry lost face…

"Callie," Sin said, waiting until her gaze met his. "Thank you, but you can't do this. You can't start a war over me. I'm not worth the cost."

"You are worth everything to me. "
