FFLF’s THREE RULES
1. Five lines of your current work in progress, new release, soon-to-be-released … whatever. (Do keep it as close to five sentences as you can.)
2. You are welcome to post buy links too.
3. PG please. (I don’t have a warning on my blog about content, so it has to be appropriate for all viewers. I will delete comments that aren’t appropriate or offensive to some audiences. Sorry.)
Here’s the link to last week’s post if you missed it: Fanciful Five-Line Friday-Stubborn Lord

I thought it would be fun to post this nifty ad rather than the five lines this time.
Be sure to share to your social media after you post your snippet and buy links. You’ll get more exposure that way.
Oh, and you are always encouraged to comment on the other authors’ posts.
We had several new faces last week as well as some of our regulars, and all the tidbits were tantalizing.
No wonder he’d warned her not to scream.
Lucy tamped down both her fear and her stunned delight as her fingers dug into luxurious black fur.
Stoker Smith was an honest-to-goodness werewolf.

Love that name, Stoker.
Oh boy. She’s in for it.
Great post, Collette!! Here is mine from A Kiss for Lady Mary which is on pre-order.
This is a letter from my hero’s grandmother to my heroine’s grandmother.
I am distraught at the idea that you will miss another Season. London is always so diverting. However, I fully understand your concern over your granddaughter. It would be far better for her if we could get her settled. Speaking of which, Featherton has finally lost patience with his heir and is insisting he wed soon. We have long spoken of a match between our houses. Could it be the time has come for us to step in and arrange a union?

What a great way to share a snippet, Ella.
Thanks for the opportunity Collette, Dangerous Secrets is actually out at last and I’m still doing the happy dance from finding it on the Amazon Hot 100 New releases for historical romance. Here are my five lines:
“Perhaps you should explain more about our mission,” he said. “The details aren’t clear to me.” His deep voice and the unexpected intrusion in her thoughts rattled her. She took a deep breath.
“Do you remember anything of our conversation last night?”
“Of course I do. You hired me to . . .”
The oaf can’t remember!
“Interpret,” he finished lamely.

Well, the cad!
“Please. This need not be unpleasant.” His voice
lulled her. “I promise I won’t bite.”
“Meaning sometimes you do,” she snipped.
A muffle of low, masculine laughter floated from his
collar. “Only on a full moon.”
Meet the Earl at Midnight by Gina Conkle

And special thanks to Collette for sharing her Friday page~
I’m thinking she better be really careful!
Lady Constance Thornton stood apart from the swirl and
buzz of the midnight ball she was attending, watching
Lucan Devlin Wynwood, Duke of Mondvale, with the
utmost discretion. The haute monde found him deliciously
dangerous and unpredictable.

This sounds deliciously dangerous!
I love this concept so much. Thank you Collette! It is an amazing way to find new great reads 🙂
Isn’t it, Stacy?
Thanks, Collette! This is from Lady of the Flames, which releases on Monday.
The terrace door opened and shut, and the light of the single candle wavered. Had Lord Slough guessed that she was hiding behind the curtains?
Terror washed over Andromeda in waves. She clutched the locket harder. If she’d ever needed its help, now was the time. *Is this what you meant, Mama?*
Oh, what a *fool* she was, hoping for magic to protect her!

Barbara, this is going to be a huge hit!
Thanks so much, Collette…this is from my newest release:
She was shocked. Her father had never raised his voice to her. Before Dariana could protest, he dismissed her by raising his hand and turning away.
“I’ll die first!” She raced up the stairs to her chamber, tears blinding her.
“It is your only chance of escaping your fate,” her father called after her.

This is fabulous, Leslie.
This is great Collette! So, May 6th is my release of Going Rogue and I submitted five sentences (I really should have posted five lines – I’m learning!)
Damn him for piquing her curiosity!
Meredith folded her gloved hands in her lap, glancing away. “If this is about me …”
“Don’t flatter yourself. I wouldn’t cross the street for you, Miss Castle, let alone an ocean.”
No buy link yet 🙂
Oh, he sounds like a real stinker! Love it.
Ahhhh I want to read this! Is it up for pre order? I am going to check!
Thanks so much Collette! Here’s my Friday Five from Ship of Dreams, a Romance Reviews Top Pick.
“You’re not married are you? Because I don’t play with married men.”
“No, I’m not married or otherwise committed. I don’t even have a goldfish.”
Laughing, Laura thought, Why not have a little fun?
Ship of Dreams is the second book in the Dreams Come True series and is available at: http://www.amazon.com/Ship-Dreams-Come-True-Book-ebook/dp/B00TBOKXCQ/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
Ha, doesn’t even have a goldfish!
I just discovered this today. What a great idea, Collette. Thank you! Here is my Friday Five from The Hot Shoppe 2 coming out next week. I had to cheat and add that 6th line. 🙂
He turned back to her, catching her staring at his scar.
“Did you win?” She couldn’t resist asking as she motioned with her chin toward his jaw.
“Of course. I always do.” His grin turned wicked.
Great to have you here, Letty.
Thanks Collette! This is from Book Two in the Baxendale Sisters Series, LADY FAITH TAKES A LEAP.
Faith clambered to her feet, her heart racing, as he removed his hat and bowed. Lord Vaughn, a younger and more dazzling version of her brother-in-law Edward, his thick, straight black hair gleaming in the sunlight. She had not seen him since, at sixteen, she’d watched him hunting with a group of men. That was two years ago. She had climbed a tree for a better view until Honor had come and dragged her home. Lord Vaughn was dangerous, her mother had warned.
I so want to read this, Maggi.
