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 Braced For Love by Mary Connealy.
Here is the first line:
August 1870
Bear Claw Pass, Wyoming
Kevin Hunt came awake with a snap.
Left with little back in Missouri, Kevin Hunt takes his younger siblings on a journey to Wyoming when he receives news that he’s inheriting part of a ranch. The catch is that the ranch is also being given to a half brother he never knew existed. Turns out, Kevin’s supposedly dead father led a secret and scandalous life.
But danger seems to track Kevin along the way, and he wonders if his half brother, Wyatt, is behind the attacks. Finally arriving at the ranch, everyone is at each other’s throats and the only one willing to stand in between is Winona Hawkins, a nearby schoolmarm.
Despite being a long-time friend to Wyatt, Winona can’t help but be drawn to the earnest, kind Kevin–and that puts her in the cross hairs of somebody’s dangerous plot. Will they all be able to put aside their differences long enough to keep anyone from getting truly hurt?

I’m reading A Wish for Home by Jo Ann Brown.
A sleepy, dark road in central Lancaster County was the last place in the world where Lauren Nolt wanted to be on a stormy March evening.
Braced for love was great!
My first line is from Kristi Hunter’s newest: Winning the Gentleman:
After twenty-two years, Aaron Whitworth should have been aware of his closest friend’s idiocy.
