Alluring Quote by Amber Lynn Perry
““He’d tried to keep himself occupied all evening, tried to keep his mind from tilting Kitty’s direction, but no matter how he employed his thoughts otherwise, she consumed him. He’d looked her way a hundred times or more—her shimmering coral gown, creamy skin, and that bright, alluring smile beckoning him—but not once had she peered in his direction. All those smiles were gifted on other, less appreciative recipients. Nathaniel blinked and gave a quick shake of the head. Women were a mystery no man would ever unravel.””
