QUOTE : Everyone was staring at <br />them, and for that reason she forced herself to smile and to act as though it was nothing at all to <br />be dragged across the room by a man she'd only just met. When she heard one woman whisper in <br />a loud voice that she and the Marquess made a striking couple, she lost her smile. Yes, she did <br />feel like hitting Lyon, but it was certainly uncomplimentary of the woman to make such a <br />remark.
