Pretty eyes Quote by Cari Quinn
““He didn’t reply but by then she’d found something else to occupy her attention. His eyes. Though she’d expected them to be as serviceable as the rest of him, they were a smoky blue-gray fringed in dark lashes. Pretty eyes. Even when he stared her down like a cop might a perp. And not just any perp. One who was heavily armed and an imminent flight risk.””
