Q: What is your favorite line of exchange or scene in the book?
Well, I have lots of favorites, but one highlight is in Chapter One when Mara and Jordan see each other again for the first time in twelve years…not exactly a happy reunion…!
Here's a short scene:
"Mara." He condescended to a dutiful nod when she was right in front of him, the crowd jostling her closer to him than she had any desire ever to go again.
The sound of her name on his tongue made her flinch. How dare you speak to me?
"Lord Falconridge," she replied in a frosty tone. She meant to keep going without so much as slowing down, but he spoke again, flicking a rudely approving glance over her figure. "You're looking well."
Gracious, this bold appraisal from Lord Holier-Than-Thou quite astonished her! He had always been--or pretended to be--the model of knightly virtue when they were young.
Perhaps he'd changed. Perhaps he'd given up the act of chivalry at last. Good. The world did not need any more hypocrites.
"Thank you," she clipped out. Again, she meant to walk away, and again he stopped her with another comment--seemingly in spite of himself.
"I did not know you collected art."
There's a lot you don't know about me, you prick. "I don't, my lord. Good day."
"Mara--"
