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 switching over to snippets from To Love the Dragon King, the first book in my Dragons of Ivria series (I promise I'm working on book 2 and will have it out as soon as possible!). To Love the Dragon King is a dragon shifter fantasy romance in which Lysander, the king of Ivria, discovers the existence of a plot against him and his country. While searching for the conspirators, he encounters Sascha, a young man whose family has been using him as a bargaining chip in that same plot. Lysander is immediately fascinated by Sascha, but can he trust him? Can they trust each other, even as they become closer and danger closes in? This snippet follows directly after last week's.
“We’re here.” He didn’t offer assistance or wait for Sascha to climb out before walking away. Concubines were supposed to have status and respect on par with that of spouses—both traditionally and contractually. Sascha hadn’t been treated that way so far.
He took a long, slow breath, searching for calm despite the sick roiling in his stomach. Then, gathering his cloak and his dignity around him, he stepped down from the carriage. Another couple of servants were coming for his trunk, and he thanked them, receiving nods in return. Moving away from the carriage, he surveyed his surroundings. The castle looked no less forbidding up close, but perhaps the place would be more pleasant in spring. Late winter meant bare trees and no !owers or color anywhere. Even the snow—something Sascha usually saw the beauty in—didn’t help.
