It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from With All My Heart, Joy by Emily Dana Botrous, the third book in her Scripted Love series.
I read the first, With Love, Melody, in under a day after Narelle Atkins recommended it on the Story Chats at Inspy Romance podcast. Then I read the second, Forever Yours, Lucy, the next day. So now I’m up to the third book in the series … it’s been a long time since I binged a series, so that’s got to tell you something!
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

About With All My Heart, Joy
A lonely single dad. A young influencer in need of counsel. Is their age difference a divide too big to bridge this Christmas?
Isaac Miller’s only priority in life is providing a stable environment for his disabled daughter. He has no time for flakey women who can’t commit to Paisley. When the young counseling client he can’t stop thinking about steps in to skillfully care for his daughter in a pinch, he is caught by surprise.
As a client, Joy is off limits to Isaac. He could never deserve her, anyway. An anonymous Christmas-card exchange is enough romance for him, right?
Besides, Joy doesn’t believe any man would want her for long in real life, no matter his age. Her counselor tries to challenge her thinking—but what will she do when he captures her heart?
