Lynn’s Quote:
“And it would involve becoming just what he planned for you all along – a heartless replica of himself. He’d win, even as you stabbed him. No, I’ll kill him, and save you from being despoiled.”
–Ned Lightbourne to Cecilia Bassingthwaite
(The Wisteria Society for Lady Scoundrels (Dangerous Damsels #1) by: India Holton)
I highlighted SO MANY passages in this book. It’s clever and witty and flirty. Plus pirates! In this case, Ned was hired to assassinate Cecilia by one party, abduct her by another, and keep her out of the pirate business by a third. So who knows which side Ned is on! And turnabout is fair play, so here’s a quote from Cecilia to Ned!
“We are exactly that, Signor. Corsairs, robbers, pirates. I, however, am also a bibliophile, and you are impeding my visit to the library. So either assassinate me now and get it over with, or kindly step aside. “
–Cecilia Bassingthwaite to Ned Lightbourne
Clearly, Cecilia knows the importance of books. She always has one close to hand, just in case!
