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 A Dangerous Legacy, by Elizabeth Camden. It just happens to be on sale on Amazon (as of the time of this posting)!
Here is the first line:
New York City
1903
The amount of female attention her brother garnered never failed to amaze Lucy.
Lucy Drake’s mastery of Morse code has made her a valuable asset to the American news agencies as a telegrapher. But the sudden arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith at rival British news agency Reuters puts her hard-earned livelihood at risk. Newly arrived from London, Colin is talented, handsome, and insufferably charming.
Despite their rivalry, Lucy realizes Colin’s connections could be just what her family needs to turn the tide of their long legal battle over the fortune they were swindled out of forty years ago. When she negotiates an unlikely alliance with him, neither of them realizes how far the web of treachery they’re wading into will take them.

Happy Friday! My first line is from “The Color of Love” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Charles Beaumont Allerton Junior tugged at the hem of his button-up shirt, hoping to work out some of the wrinkles that his rapid – and poor – packing job had created.”
Happy Friday!
Today I’m sharing from chapter 27 in The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson.
“Still needing to get groceries for tonight’s dinner with Jordan, Dillon was tempted to skip the Silver Slipper altogether.”
Hope you have a great Easter weekend. 🙂❤📖
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch but I’m currently reding The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner so I’ll share the first line from chapter 11 here: “Since our Sunday lunch had been so rudely interrupted by, you know…reality, Ben and I decided our first date called for a do-over.” Happy reading!
I haven’t read an Elizabeth Camden novel yet, however the book she has coming out this summer might be my first – it looks really good! I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!
I really like Elizabeth Camden’s books!
My book this week is THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE MOOR by Michelle Griep.
March 1861 Dartmoor Prison, Devon, England
Death prowled the cell block like a dark animal seeking prey— especially the weakest.
Happy Saturday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese: “If Obsessive Email Checking Disorder were a disease, I was likely already in the final stages: trigger thumb, mindless refreshing, aimless scrolling, and of course, an inability to focus on anything else in the entire world.”
