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.
For September, I'm sharing snippets from The Sorcerer's Guardian, which rereleased four years ago this month. The Sorcerer's Guardian is the fourth book in the Chronicles of Tournai series, but it can be read as a standalone. It's the story of an arrogant, powerful sorcerer and a loyal guard captain sent on a potentially dangerous and certainly arduous mission for the crown. And neither is happy about it, but they clash and snap at each other and somehow stumble into love along the way. This week's snippet follows directly after last week's.

Inside, the house was quiet. The formal parlor was empty, which was unsurprising as they rarely used it—only when Joceline and Oriana chose to entertain. He wanted more than anything to go up to his bedchamber and collapse into his bed for the next few days, but he couldn’t. Couldn’t even collapse for a few hours without checking on his family. But he knew where at least one of them was likely to be at this time of day.
The sitting room at the back of the house was quiet, too, so quiet he could hear the scratch of his sister’s pen on paper as he stepped into the doorway. Joceline sat at her writing desk, papers spread around her, pen flying across the page. Despite the silence, she didn’t notice him. A good writing day, then. He hated to disturb her, but she’d want to know he was
home.
