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 The Prince of Spies, a recent release from Elizabeth Camden!
Here is the first line:
January 1902
Marianne ventured farther onto the frozen river despite the people warning against it.
Luke Delacroix has the reputation of a charming man-about-town in Gilded Age Washington, DC. In reality, he is secretly carrying out an ambitious agenda in Congress. His current mission is to thwart the reelection of Congressman Clyde Magruder, his only real enemy in the world.
But trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the congressman’s only daughter, whose job as a government photographer gives her unprecedented access to sites throughout the city. Luke is captivated by Marianne’s quick wit and alluring charm, leading them both into a dangerous gamble to reconcile their feelings for each other with Luke’s driving passion for vital reforms in Congress.
Can their newfound love survive a political firestorm, or will three generations of family rivalry drive them apart forever?

This is from Suzanne D. Williams’ book She Loves Me in the Spring: The Non-Honeymoon, Barrow Bros. Brides Book 1.
Pink petals danced across a cobalt blue sky on an early spring breeze still crisp with the remains of winter.
That was a wonderful series!
My first line comes from My Dear Miss Dupré by Grace Hitchcock:
New York City, New Year’s Eve 1882
Willow Dupré twirled on the ice, spreading her arms and guiding her body around the other skaters on the frozen lake of Central Park.
