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 Dual Power of Convenience by Chautona Havig, the first book in the multi-author Independence Island series. I haven’t read any of her books yet, and I also haven’t read any of the Independence Islands books, so I’m looking forward to it.
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Dual Power of Convenience
When Richard Danforth inherits the family estate on Merriweather Island, he doesn’t have time to deal with it—especially not from halfway across the globe. He’s too busy working to become the world’s newest billionaire and avoiding the women who would detract him from his goals.
Enter Lyla Santana. Fresh out of Oxford University with a degree in antiques and a relationship that nearly killed her to leave, she’s eager for the isolation and treasure trove that is Danforth Hall. Lyla also is determined to avoid men at all costs. Forever.
It was supposed to be a match made on paper. With him halfway across the globe, they’d never have to see each other again.
So, what’s Richard doing on Merriweather just weeks after the wedding? And how will his arrival test Lyla’s faith, not to mention stretch their so-called relationship?

I have read one of hers before, but have not read this one.
My first line is “No sooner did the last notes of the closing hymn, “Precious Name,” fade after the Sunday service than Emma Draycott allowed Stephen to pull her behind the Methodist church building.” It’s from The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik.
Thanks for sharing – I’ll check out The Scarlet Pen 🙂
