Not only is today Friday but it’s my birthday! I’m not one of those people who is all hush hush about my day (or my age for that matter). Friends have asked me what plans I have for my birthday, and I know you will all understand when I say read. Who else has the same plans for their weekend?
Ten years after her parents were killed, Evelyn Radcliffe is once more homeless. The orphanage that was her refuge and later her workplace has burned to the ground, and only she and a young orphan girl have escaped. Convinced this must be related to her parents’ murders, Evelyn flees with the girl to Mesquite Springs in the Texas Hill Country and finds refuge in the home of Wyatt Clark, a talented horse rancher whose plans don’t include a family of his own.
At first, Evelyn is a distraction. But when it becomes clear that trouble has followed her to Mesquite Springs, she becomes a full-blown disruption. Can Wyatt keep her safe from the man who wants her dead? And will his own plans become collateral damage?
Suspenseful and sweetly romantic, Out of the Embers is the first in a new series that invites you to the Texas Hill Country in the 1850s, when the West was wild, the men were noble, and the women were strong.

Happy Friday!
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/02/28/first-line-friday-125/. I’m currently finishing A Convenient Christmas Wedding by Regina Scott, so I will share a line from that book here.
“Nora woke on Christmas morning to the sound of voices calling.”

Most men woke in a cold sweat when they dreamed of their own deaths, but not Private Clay Paxton.
Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews: “I am Shebna. Small in stature, weak in body, strong of mind. A Levite.”

Happy Birthday! I wish that was my only plan. I’m sharing from The Vault Between Spaces by Chawna Schroeder on my blog today. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
Happy Weekend! My first line (actually 2 lines) is from “Draw Me to Your Side” by Marguerite Martin Gray:
“Closing her eyes for a brief respite, Elizabeth dozed in the afternoon sun peeking through the frosty windowpanes. The image of a coiled, ferocious rattlesnake fought its way behind eyelids seemingly glued together.”
