Lovely Couple Quote by Karen Hawkins

“They make a lovely couple, my lord,” Jameson said, fishing in his pocket for a clean handkerchief. He found one and handed it to the duke. “Indeed they do,” the duke said, blowing his nose rather loudly. “They will be even lovelier once they’re properly married!” quote by Karen Hawkins
