​Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from

A Viscount's Proposal
by Melanie Dickerson

This is book two in the Regency Spies of London Series.  You can check out book one, A Spy's Devotion, as well.  I have yet to read this series, but I have them on my TBR pile to read soon.  Melanie's books are always fantastic, so readers (including myself) will not want to miss this series.

What a way to die! Although it wouldn't make much of a book if she did ;-)

My first line comes from my favourite art fraud investigator, Serena Jones in 'Another Day, Another Dali' by Sandra Orchard:

"I tore my gaze from the porch that wrapped around the drug dealer’s house and cringed at the number on my phone’s display.
Mom said there’d be days like this."

Great minds think alike Sydney! I'm so glad I chose the first book in this series to highlight this week. :)

My first line for the week is:

A Spy's Devotion by Melanie Dickerson

April 1811. London, England.

"Mr. Nicholas Langdon wasn't supposed to be here. Miss Julia Grey blinked, but he was still standing across the room from where she sat at the pianoforte."

Happy reading and happy Friday!

Aw, thanks, Sydney!!! :-) So very excited to share this story with the world! My Jane-Austen-loving heart really had a field day with this one. ;-)

For a moment she couldn't breathe, and then the barest whisper passed her lips--half spontaneous praise and half simple awe.

This week my first line is from Hunting the President: Threats, Plots, and Assassination Attempts - from FDR to Obama"

"President Roosevelt, the only president elected four times, who led America during the Great Depression and through World War II, was the target of would-be assassins who threatened to bomb his train, blow up the White House, and simply shoot him."
