Welcome to First Line Friday!
Today I’m featuring
Night Prey by Susan Sleeman.
She lived for upholding the law…
Defense attorney, Malone Rice, doesn’t want to go to her fifteen year class reunion. Attending means running into her former high school flame, now Portland police detective, Ian Blair. But when the committee decides to honor her for her pro-bono work with homeless teens, she knows it would be churlish not to attend. She will have to go and make the best of it.
But now the law won’t save her.
As expected, Ian attends the reunion, but what Malone doesn’t expect—could never expect—is that Ian would find her standing over their classmate’s dead body. Or that she would still have feelings for the once bad-boy of their high school. Ian’s struggling too, between arresting Malone for murder and his age-old attraction to her. He walks a tightrope, until evidence surfaces that the real killer’s still out there, and Malone becomes his prey. Can Ian overcome his feelings to focus and uncover the truth before the killer strikes again and Malone ends up dead?

[Graphic Text]: Just the sight of this man curled Malone’s stomach and sent a bead of sweat down her back.

First Line Friday is hosted by Reading is my Super Power.
This definitely sounds intriguing! This week on my blog I shared the first line from Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant: http://gracetogrowblog.com/tacos-for-two-betsy-st-amant/. I’m currently reading Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan; here’s the first line: “ George Henry Devonshire is only eight years old and he already knows the truth.”
Happy reading! 😊
I don’t think I’ve seen Once Upon a Wardrobe, but it sounds intriguing! Enjoy!
Sounds really good!
I enjoyed it! 🙂
My first line is from A Deep Divide by Kim Woodhouse:
The sugary sweet cherry flavor burst on Emma Grace McMurray’s tongue and made her mouth water.
I’m looking forward to this one! Enjoy!
Dear Enemy by Jean Webster
“Stonegate, Worcester, Massachusetts December 27.
Dear Judy,
Your letter is here.”
Sounds intriguing! I hope you enjoy it! Happy reading!
