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 Loving the Texas Stranger, by Mary Connealy.
Here is the first line:
Case Garrison tried to suppress his edginess as he strode down the busy Washington D.C. sidewalk.
An assassin takes a shot and hits two people with one bullet.
Natalie Brewster, a deep undercover agent for a group that doesn’t officially exist, saw the gunman aiming. He definitely waited, lined up the shot, and tried to kill both of them. Nat and Case Garrison hit the ground bleeding. They both come up shooting and kill the assassin—but that just makes him mad.
Now Case and Nat, who have never before met, have to figure out what they have in common to make them prey for a killer.
And they have to do it while running for their lives because, despite the two of them being highly skilled at keeping a low profile, the killer keeps finding them. They are running at break-neck speed, hiding with all the skill of long-time undercover agents, and falling in love with a passion that might be part of what brought a killer down on them.

My first line this week is from an Appalachian Summer by Ann Gabhart:
May 20, 1933
Piper Danson’s cheeks hurt from smiling for what seemed like hours with no relief in sight.
Excellent book as always from Ann.
Through the small oval window, I glimpse the turquoise of the Atlantic. This first line is from The Ruby of the Sea by Peggy Lampman it is an intriguing book and a very good page turner! I love the cover and I Loved this book.
