The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. 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.
In July, I'm sharing snippets from The Scholar's Heart, the third book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though the books in the series do all stand alone. It's a friends to estranged friends to lovers romance between Etan, a scholar and cousin to the crown prince, and Tristan, a merchant's son and best friend of the prince consort. Etan and Tristan become close, but Tristan doesn't notice that Etan has fallen in love with him. And when Tristan announces he's going to marry at his dying father's request, Etan's heart is broken and so is their friendship. After Tristan is widowed, they are drawn back into each other's orbits and Etan has to decide if he can trust Tristan enough to open his heart again. This snippet comes from the very beginning of the book, before Tristan marries.

“There you are!”
Tristan’s musical voice made the simple sentence something special,
or perhaps Etan’s feelings made it seem so. Etan smiled as he looked up from his book, a glow of warmth and welcome lighting him up inside.
Tristan strode into the small room Etan had claimed for his own in the palace’s labyrinthine library. He had a desk in the university library as well, but these days, out of necessity and preference both, he conducted most of his work in this cozy little room. Obscure history books filled the shelves lining the walls. The table in the center of the room held Etan’s notes on his studies and projects, all neatly organized so he could find anything he wanted quickly. But this morning he slouched on the comfortable couch instead, book propped in his lap.
