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 Guarding Her Heart by Bella Calhoune, step #1 in my effort to read more Christian fiction from BIPOC authors. Also, the book description hints at an amnesia plot and that’s a one of my favourite plot points. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
Well, if amnesia wasn’t enough to hook me, the “sworn enemy” line is!
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Guarding Her Heart by Bella Calhoune
When realtor Marissa Santana witnesses a murder in the wee hours of the morning, she finds herself suffering post-traumatic stress in the form of amnesia. After two attempts on her life, Marissa realizes she isn’t safe from a killer’s vengeance. Protection arrives in the form of Matt Cruz, Sheriff of Briarwood, who vows to keep her safe. Problem is, Cruz is the last person Marissa wants to give her around the clock protection.
Town sheriff, Matt Cruz, is duty bound to protect Marissa Santana from a killer’s revenge, even though he doesn’t think much of the gossipy realtor. Cruz is still stewing over a rumor he believes Marissa spread about him and an elderly resident of Briarwood. But now, with danger looming, he vows to keep her from a killer’s grasp at all costs.
As Cruz provides around the clock protection for Marissa, they find themselves growing closer and bridging the wide gap between them. As their feelings turn romantic, a killer is still waiting in the shadows to strike out at Marissa. Will true love prevail?
