First Line Friday — Double Take

Happy Friday! I am a big fan of Lynette Eason. Her romantic suspense is always so good, but I have to say that Double Take, her latest release, has moved up to the top of my favorites. Lynette is currently on a book tour, and I am taking road trip to meet her and to get a signed copy of this book. Make sure you check to see if she will be in your area in the coming weeks — Book Tour.

Here’s the first line:

The click next to her ear jerked her out of a deep sleep to roll into a sitting position, a scream on her lips, her eyes on the man with the gun standing next to her.

Detective James Cross has been honorably discharged from the Army Criminal Investigation Division due to wounds sustained when an IED blew up near him. Now with the Lake City Police Department, he’s rooming with this good buddy and partner, Cole, while he figures out his family dynamics.

Physician Assistant Lainie Jackson is eighteen months out from an attempted murder perpetrated by her ex, which ended when she managed to grab the weapon and shoot him. When he appears to have survived and is back to finish the job he started, Lainie insists it’s not possible. But someone keeps trying to kill her, and she keeps seeing his face.

Together, Lainie and James must work together to find out who, exactly, is after her and why he wants her dead. And failure is not an option.

USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason will leave you breathless with this fast-paced first book in a brand-new series.
