First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby book.
Today, I'm sharing the first line from Road to Rosewood by Ashtyn Newbold.
"'I thought you would be better at piquet,' I said, raising my eyes above a perfectly fanned hand of cards.."
Road to Rosewood was my first novel by Ashtyn Newbold and I'm eager to read more of her work. You can read my review here.
What are you reading this weekend? I'd love for you to share your book's first line!
Happy reading!
About the Book:
Growing up in a dreary coastal town, Lucy Abbot has secretly dreamt of a perfect and exciting romance, missing the childhood summers spent in the countryside with her cousins and their charming neighbor, Nicholas. After Lucy learns that Nicholas has been married in the six years of her absence, she is heartbroken and more determined than ever to move beyond her past and claim her independence.
Lonely and confined, Lucy grasps an opportunity to return to the estate of Rosewood at her cousin’s invitation, hoping the escape will lift her spirits, keeping her departure secret from her protective parents.
But just as her journey is finally underway, her carriage is besieged by highwaymen with a familiar man leading them. Struggling through past heartbreak and fearing for her life in the present, Lucy can’t help but wonder—could this mysterious outlaw be exactly the person she has been searching for?
