The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend (I'll beg forgiveness in advance for sometimes going over the sentence limit!). Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.
I'm sharing snippets from A Dance of Water and Air, the first book in my Elemental Magicae series. In Dance, Edmund is a prince who must make an alliance marriage with the queen of a neighboring country, but when he arrives there, he finds the queen distant and something very wrong. He begins to grow closer to the queen's brother, Prince Arden...and begins to fall for him. Then Edmund is accused of trying to murder the queen, and he and Arden flee, to save Edmund's life and give them time to figure out what's threatening both of their countries. Dance has trans bisexual and cis demisexual main characters, and though Edmund and Arden are left in a good place, the story continues in A Harmony of Fire and Earth. I'm jumping into these snippets after Edmund has been accused and thrown in a cell in the dungeon with his secretary and personal guard. This snippet follows directly after the last snippet I shared.

“Edmund,” Arden gasped. “Are you all right?”
“Arden—”
Arden rushed forward and pulled Edmund into a kiss, a kiss that tasted of fear and desperation and a brilliant sweetness underneath the rest. The suddenness of it, the impulsivity of Arden’s kissing him in front of others—in a dungeon of all places—froze Edmund for half a second, but then he was kissing Arden back, and he never wanted to stop. Edmund brought his hands up and held on to Arden’s arms with chilled fingers, anchoring Arden’s slim, strong body to his. The feel of it went a long way toward warming Edmund through.
