Shy, sweet Cecilia Hatherleigh has always been in love with Edward Amherst, the boy next door. Yet heâs never seen her as anything but the quiet girl in the background as he flirts with the other vivacious women of the ton.
When a near tragedy brings Edwardâs attention to his family duties, this prodigal son decides he needs to settle down with a proper wife. Cecilia hopes to convince him to choose herâbut God may want her to forget the wayward nobleman and put her future in His hands alone.
These two try to find their way toward happiness, but prejudice, political riots, and the changing face of Englandâs societal structures begin to block them at every turn. Can their struggles turn to triumphâor will their paths permanently diverge?

I am currently reading an ARC of The Bridge Between by Lindsey Brackett. Here’s the first line — She still had trouble sleeping.

On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Underestimating Miss Cecelia by Carolyn Miller: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/07/18/first-line-friday-94/.
Today, I’m currently reading The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden. It’s an excellent story that I highly recommend! I’m just starting chapter 34, so I’ll share from there.
“Gray rarely took the time to read The Washington Post first thing in the morning.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend!!! â¤
The Spice King is on my TBR!!! I love Elizabeth Camden’s books!
Yay for Cecy!!! Here’s the first line from my current read, Just One Kiss by Courtney Walsh: “Carly Collins hated running late.”
I finished Just One Kiss this morning. Another terrific read from Courtney Walsh!
I’m also sharing the first line from Underestimating Miss Cecilia today – it seems to be a popular choice!
I’m currently reading Fatal Strike by DiAnn Mills. Here’s the first line:
Special Agent Leah Riesel scanned the headlines on her phone.
That’s a little underwhelming, but the first chapter includes a shoot-out in a hostage situation, so it ramps up the action quickly.
Happy reading!
They are keeping my schedule packed as well. đ Since Iâm sharing from chapter 1 of Yours Truly, Thomas by Rachel Fordham on my blog today, here is the first line from the prologue:
âAfter letting an involuntary squeal escape, Penny pulled the yellowed papers closer and pressed her lips to them.â
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from Storm Rising by Ronie Kendig but I’m currently reading Fragments of Fear by Carrie Stuart Parks so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (8) here: “Marley was sitting by the door in the living room when Travis returned.” Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of reading time! đ
What I really need this weekend is plenty of writing time. Got to get that Love Inspired manuscript wrapped up!
I love Carolynâs books! đ Iâm sharing on my blog the first line from At First Spark by Liwen Y. Ho.
Darren Spark never imagined that one person could make him feel so happy and sad all at the same time.
My first line is from The Crossing of Cypress Creek by Pam Hillman
Natchez Under-the-Hill on the Mississippi River, August 1792
Caleb OâShea jerked awake to utter stillness.
Great series!
Just finished Miss Cecy!
I loved Pamâs series!! Iâm at the north end of the Natchez Trace (Nashville) so reading some history around it was fun.
