Quotes by Barbara Lynn-Davis (?)

“I dropped my gaze, then peeked up to study him more. His skin was swarthy, and his black eyes had a fiery light. He wore a sapphire-blue waistcoat with exotic birds sewn all over it, and on his fingers, several jewelled rings.”
― Barbara Lynn-Davis, Casanova's Secret Wife
