Today I am going to post a line from:

And the first line is...

"Today she might meet the man she'd marry."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

  3. Happy Friday!!
    Over on my blog I shared the first line from the Mayflower Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse
    "A splinter of wood pierced Mary Elizabeth Chapman's thumb as she crept behind her lifelong friend Dorothy Raynsford."

    ” ‘Aunt Liz, you can’t keep doing this. It’s going to get you killed.’ And it had.”

  6. I LOVED The Runaway Bride! Can't wait for the next book in that series. Today, I'm sharing the first line from Coming Home to Maverick by Sophia Summers: "Maverick dipped his hat lower against the hot Texas sun. A man's hat could hide a lot of things, unfortunately, not everything."
