Book Cover & Preview Text
His eyes grabbed me. They penetrated into my very being and broke through any composure I struggled to maintain. They burned into my soul. Dark eyebrows framed those icy blue eyes which seemed to enhance their intensity. His piercing gaze followed me as I moved around the pub and would not release me from its grasp. I found myself mesmerized; my eyes attached to his and I could not avert them. The overwhelming strength of their power repeatedly urged me to look away, yet each time I was drawn back to them. I felt my heart pounding within my chest and a sudden light-headedness overcame me. I had known for some time that this moment would finally come. I had planned and hoped for it. When the invitation was proffered, however, I shrank from accepting it. Yet I could not pull myself away either. Torn between desire and fear, I became transfixed. His reassuring “hi” did not break the spell.
