I've been looking everywhere for you!"The woman spotted the dog and let out a relieved sigh before gliding over with effortless grace.Dorian glanced up-and froze.A cascade of silky hair tumbled down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her slender, arched eyebrows framed a pair of mesmerizing eyes that could steal a man's soul. A delicate nose, flushed peach-blossom cheeks, and lips as red as ripe cherries adorned her snow-white, oval face.
