  This woman...
  
  
  Her hair, the scent of her skin was all too familiar. He looked at her flushed
  face and eyes that refused to meet his. He was close enough to feel her
  presence, to react to her nearness. He was instantly aroused. And that could
  mean only one thing. He took a moment to tamp down the blood rapidly heating
  his veins. His senses on overload, his mind spinning, the wildest notion
  entered his head.
  
  
  “Gracie?”
  
  
  “I’ve got to go. I’m late...for an appointment.”
  
  
  Before he could stop her, she was gone. Memories flashed in his mind. The
  masquerade ball. Those scents, her aura. He wouldn’t have ever guessed. But
  he’d never reacted to a woman like that before.
  
  
  He stood. Blinking his eyes, he knew only one thing. He had to get to the
  bottom of this.
  
  
  He had to know for sure.
  
  
  Was it her?
