It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I recently bought Marrying the Rancher’s Daughter by Tara Grace Ericson, the first book in the Christmas in Redemption Ridge multi-author series.
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

About Marrying the Rancher’s Daughter
He’s completely wrong for her. But their marriage may be exactly what she needs.
Professional bullrider Jason Keen is chasing a national title–and running from his mistakes. When his last sponsor threatens to pull their support unless he becomes the poster boy of a charming, family friendly cowboy, there is no way he can pull it off. Unless he can find another way to soften his rough-edged image while he works at Redemption Ranch between events…
Despite her family’s status as Colorado ranching royalty, Cassie Reynolds’ heart has been tied to the rodeo since her first event at the tender age of five. If her possessive ex-boyfriend would get the hint and leave her alone, she’d never leave her rodeo marketing job. Unfortunately, with each passing day, he’s growing more desperate to claim her.
When a week at home on Redemption Ranch is interrupted by the appearance of Cassie’s ex, Jason can’t stand by and let him terrorize the owner’s daughter. Could her unorthodox proposal be the solution to get them both through the holidays and the rodeo national finals?

Our Keurig had just finished spitting out my second cup of coffee when my phone vibrated on the counter next to me. The display showed a New York area code in an exchange matching those at Murbeck, a huge law firm that handled New York’s elite clients. – from the Doll from Dunedin by ML Condike
I have to love anything that starts with coffee 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
I’m so bad. I look at the photo on the cover and think to myself — No way would someone wear short sleeves outside in weather like the stuff behind him. Ha!
