Regency-romance Quote by Sophie Barnes
““You intrigue me,” he said, for it was the truth. “And yet I’ve just told you that I have a fiancé.” “An almost fiancé, I believe you said.” The spark in her eyes dwindled. “Nevertheless—I will marry him. This . . .…” She swept her arm in a wide circle to indicate their extravagant surroundings. “It cannot possibly last.””
