The Incomparable Miss Compton (2001)
“From the moment he put his strong arm about her waist, the ballroom receded to a soft gray blur, like a mist around them. Any fear scattered in the warmth of his gaze. She was attuned to his every movement, was reacting seconds before she even felt his hand move. So light was his touch that it heightened the feeling that they were dancing on air.
Gazing up into his eyes, darker than night, Sarah wondered whether she was bewitched. How on earth had she ended up dancing the waltz, of all things, ...with the most eligible bachelor in London, at a ball designed to find him his bride? Every unmarried female in the room must envy her at the moment. It was like something out of a fairy tale.
But that sense of wonder quickly disappeared as he continued to dance her about the floor. In fact, everything disappeared, until there was only the music, his powerful body so close to hers, and his hand upon her back, guiding her in slow circles that centered on those very black eyes. This was no dream but reality, and the reality was more potent than anything she could have imagined.MoreLess
