Book Beginnings and Friday56
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.
This week, the book I will be spotlighting is:
Winning the Schoolmarm
About the book:
Swirling rumors forced Cecilia White out of the teaching job she loved. She vowed not to get involved with a man again—no matter what. But when the term begins at a new schoolhouse in a new town, disaster strikes. No matter what she does, she can’t seem to escape the handsome, single chairman of the school board.
John Morgan has a secret. He’s not who he says he is. He’ll do anything to protect and provide for his young sister—including cozying up to the prickly schoolmarm.
Sparks fly and Cecilia must deny her heart if she hopes to keep her job. But what’s more important? Duty or love?

Friday 56
The predawn air was bitter as John urged the horses pulling their sleigh out of town.

My thoughts so far
I'm still in the first quarter of the book, but I usually enjoy Lacy Williams sweet romances.

Aah the drama of love and duty! I hope you enjoy this one as much as Williams' other books and that Cecilia gets to find both happiness and keep her job! I hope you have a lovely start to the weekend and do drop by my Friday post if you have the time! - Juli @ A Universe in Words
