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 last week's.

“I know what I feel, but I’m not assuming anything yet. I won’t even try to predict what the councils will do.” But Hollis arresting her intended husband should be reason to end the agreement. He only hoped it wouldn’t come to Father doing it with an army.
“Even the council isn’t so callous as to continue after this. I can’t believe they would stand for the insult to their prince, no matter the need for an alliance.”
Edmund hoped Peregrine was right, even if it did make him feel horrible. As if he’d failed at one of his fundamental duties. But whether the council found some way to continue with the agreement or not, Edmund had no chance to be with Arden. He had to remember that.
