Welcome to #8Sunday, the Weekend Writing Warriors blog hop where writers share eight to ten sentences of their work. For the past few months, I've been sharing the opening lines of my books and for the last few weeks, I've been sharing the openings of the Sweet Lenora Series. Today's eight are from the beginning of All Things Returned, the third novella of the series. Anton and Lenora have settled into life in San Francisco, and things are pretty darn good. Of course, life won't stay idyllic for long.
Anton pulled off his cravat for the second time. “Foolish speck of clothing—like to choke the life out of a man.”
He fumbled with it until I took the scrap of silk and tied it around his neck, sealing my action with a kiss. “You should try wearing a corset.”
“I think we should pull off all of these confounded garments and run about like babes in Eden,” he said, nuzzling my neck.
I dearly would have liked to take his suggestion. “We have to attend. For our own sakes and for Edward’s.”

Sweet Auralie, the last part of the Anton and Lenora story, will be released on October 5. Come back next week for a sneak peek of the opening.
