Отрывок из книги

Step behind the hotel room doors of The Chatsfield, London…

This is so not how Alice Hammond planned on spending her birthday. Not only has her own father stood her up, but now some guy has sat down next to her at The Chatsfield bar and started teasing her!

I found it hard to drag my eyes away from him. My eyeballs felt like they were magnetised to track his every movement. There was something vaguely familiar about him. I wondered if he was a male model or something. Perhaps I’d seen him in a gossip magazine when I was at the hairdresser’s. He was six foot one or two with an athletic build that spoke of hours of endurance training. His hair was wavy rather than curly and it was long enough for the ends to brush against the collar of his shirt. It looked like he had combed it recently with his fingers because I could see the deep grooves in between the strands. He was clean-shaven with an olive complexion, but when his eyes met mine I was surprised to find they weren’t the brown I was expecting but a deep and unusual shade of slate blue.

He gave me a long appraising look that made every inch of my flesh lift up in goose bumps. His gaze had an intensity about it that made me feel as if he were picturing me naked. It wasn’t a sleazy look, not by any means. It was like an alpha wolf sighting a potential mate. I even saw his nostrils flare ever so slightly as if he were checking the air for my scent. I was glad I’d splurged last week on that bottle of Ellie Saab.
