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.
This weekend, I'm sharing a snippet from The Spymaster's Secret because it will have been out in the world six years this coming week. I love this book—I had so much fun writing it, writing Alexander and Marcus as they fell in love. Alexander is a flirtatious royal with hidden depths and Marcus is a mysterious older widower, and their story includes lots of banter, shenanigans at a masquerade ball, plus some spies and intrigue. Here's a snippet from the beginning of chapter two.

The clatter of hooves alerted him to the galloping horse, but he was almost too late to get out of the way. Someone behind him was yelling, and Alexander jumped back, his foot slipping.
A hand grabbed for Alexander before he could even blink, before he could shout, righting him and pulling him out of the way just as the rider galloped past. And then suddenly Alexander had no words to say. Marcus’s ungloved hand had found the bare skin of his wrist between his glove and the lace edging his shirt cuff. It was as if lightning arced through him, and his heart pounded even harder. Alexander’s breath caught on a sharp inhale.
Marcus’s hand was large and warm, his fingers wrapping around Alexander’s slender wrist, the gold of his skin stark against Alexander’s porcelain pale flesh. He watched the point of contact, not even breathing, for a long moment, fascinated and yearning suddenly.
He wanted this man’s hands on him everywhere.
