It's an odd thing about love. When someone you love cries, your heart melts. But when someone you don't love cries, you look at them and think, Why are you telling 'me' this?

There are some things that are as ancient as time, and knowing when a man desires you is one of those.

On his face was an expression of absolute love. Melting, soul-touching, raw, unbridled love, the kind of person dies for, sacrifices and suffers for. It was the kind of love that a person would wait two hundred years to see fulfilled. It was True Love in its purest form.

Time has no meaning, Love will endure.

My soul will find yours.

Were I to die tomorrow, my soul would remember you. ~Nicholas Stafford

I think I'd want to have an affair with a Montgomery but marry a Taggert.

I've come to realize that life is what you make it.

You should really stay true to your own style. When I first started writing, everybody said to me, 'Your style just isn't right because you don't use the really flowery language that romances have.' My romances - compared to what's out there - are very strange, very odd, very different. And I think that's one of the reasons they're selling.

I'm an American and I want instant gratification.

I have many things I want out of life, but I'm practical. I know that I must wait to get what I want.

Love can make even nice people do awful things.

I would rather die then try to live without you”, “May you always love me and want me but never have me”, “May you never love anyone but me”.

My university degree is in art and, yes, I do a lot of drawing for all my books. I have a big drafting table set up in a spare bedroom and I cover it with maps and house plans and sketches that I use in the books. Also, I truly love architecture, so that plays a big part in all my books.

What I do know is that I can't hurt a ghost. I wish I could fall in love with Ann Stuart. I wish I could wed her and bed her and have children with her. I wish I could fill that huge house with little spirit children who would live forever and never die.

What kind of wedding do you want? The one with a groom.

Everyone wanted his relatives to be proud of him, didn't he?
