First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea, where bloggers post the first paragraph(s) of a book they are currently reading or planning to read sometime soon.

Today I'm featuring the opening from the first book in a brand new series, which I'm reading for a Novel Publicity blog tour . . .

 

On a Night Like This 

The Callaways #1

 

Chapter One

 

As a teenager, seeing her father's car in the driveway when she came home from school had always made Sara Davidson uneasy.  She would steel herself for the evening to come, never quite sure why she felt afraid.  Stephen Davidson had never physically abused her, but he had been demanding, and his words cut like a knife.  It wasn't always what he said that was the worst part; it was the rejection in his gaze, and the cold quiet that usually followed his disappointment in her.

 

It would be different now, Sara told herself as she got out of her rental car.  She was twenty-nine years old, a successful lawyer, and she hadn't lived at home in ten years.  So why did she feel trepidation?
