Welcome to First Line Fridays! The day we grab the book closest to us and share the first line. Join the fun and discover your next read!
Today I’m sharing the first line from To Steal A Heart by Jen Turano, which releases on November 17th!
Here is the first line:
November 1886
New York City
It was quickly becoming evident that she, Miss Gabriella Goodhue, might very well be arrested in the not-too-distant future, and all because she’d convinced herself that sneaking into a high-society costume ball would be a relatively easy feat, given her post life as a street thief.
After a childhood as a street thief, Gabriella Goodhue thought she’d put her past behind her until a fellow resident at her boardinghouse is unjustly accused of theft. In the middle of breaking into a safe that holds the proof to prove her friend’s innocence, Gabriella is interrupted by Nicholas Quinn, the man she once considered her best friend–until he abandoned her.
After being taken under the wing of a professor who introduced him into society and named him as heir, Nicholas is living far removed from his childhood life of crime. As a favor to a friend, Nicholas agreed to help clear the name of an innocent woman, never imagining he’d be reunited with the girl he thought lost to him forever.
As Gabriella and Nicholas are thrown together into one intrigue after another, their childhood affection grows into more, but their newfound feelings are tested when truths about their past are revealed and danger follows their every step.

Over on my blog I am sharing the first line to the Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano
“It always came to this, didn’t it? Amid the glittering swirl of music and gowns, I looked up into the handsome face of Lord Cumberland and forced a smile as if nothing at all were about to happen.”

Have a happy weekend!
Happy Friday! 😊
I’m sharing from All is Mary and Bright by Kasey Stockton on my blog:https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/11/13/first-line-friday-161/. I’m currently reading The Cul-de-sac War by Melissa Ferguson. I’m just starting chapter 4 so I’ll share from there.
“Chip tried really, really hard to keep a smile from playing on his lips as Bree stomped out of the sleet and onto his concrete porch in tall black galoshes.”
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂❤📚
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Into the Darkness” by Margaret Daley:
“Hot, humid – no, make that wet – air clung to her like a second skin.”
Jingle All The Way by Debbie Macomber. Everly Lancaster was ready to explode.
Just finished To Steal A Heart! So funny!
My first line is from an exceptional book: The Promised Land by Elizabeth Musser:
“I have spent twenty years carefully stitching my family’s life together, so when it suddenly starts to unravel I find myself in a tangled knot of anxiety.”
