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.
The Envoy's Honor has been out in the world five years this weekend, so it only seemed appropriate that I share a snippet from it to celebrate the occasion. This book is the eighth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, though it stands alone just fine (it also pairs well with The Dragon's Devotion, the other dragon shifter book in the Tournai series, since Bastien from that book is the brother of Griffen from The Envoy's Honor). The Envoy's Honor is an adversaries to lovers romance—Griffen and Kirill are put at odds in diplomatic negotiations, one trying to protect his family, the other his people. But when someone is murdered, they can only trust each other to find the killer (because they were kissing each other in the garden when it happened, so they know they didn't do it!) and they may save everyone they care about in the process. Here's a snippet leading into that kissing:

Here's a snippet leading into that kissing:
“I was hoping we could trust each other enough because of common interests,” he said stiffly.
“Common interests?” Kirill let out a short laugh. “What would those be?”
“Wanting the best for both our countries. Perhaps building a mutually beneficial relationship between them?” Griffen’s irritation was growing in the face of Kirill’s obstinacy, but Kirill’s flashing eyes had his desire growing too.
Kirill scoffed. “All you care about is Corentin.”
He was rapidly running out of patience at Kirill’s refusal to believe, even though he did, in some part of him, understand why. Nevertheless, his frustration won out, which he’d kick himself for later. “And, according to you, getting you into bed.”
Kirill lifted his chin a fraction. “Yes, and that.”
“Then I suppose I should get started on trying.” Griffen surged forward and kissed Kirill. As soon as he did it, he regretted the action. Kissing Kirill was a bad idea, and kissing Kirill when Kirill hadn’t invited him to was even worse.
