White teeth Quote by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

“It was terrible of you," Shanna pouted, but her eyes danced as they turned askance to meet his. "I could have left, you know. I was that angry." "I would have followed you," Ruark assured with a flash of white teeth. "You have my heart and my baby. You would not have escaped.” quote by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
