Lisa Kleypas Quote

So far you’ve spent your life striving to please others, she heard him say. With a rather poor rate of success. Why don’t you try pleasing yourself for a change? Why not live by your own rules? What has obeying the conventions ever gotten you? Evie pondered the questions, and her breath hissed in pleasure as he found a particularly sore spot. I like the conventions, she said after a moment. There is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person, is there? No. But you’re not ordinary—or you never would have come to me instead of marrying cousin Eustace. I was desperate. That wasn’t the entire reason. His low voice sounded like a purr. You also had a taste for the devil.
