It's Friday . . . time to share book excerpts with:
- Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.
- The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.
Beginning: Chapter One
She woke in the dark. Through the slats on the window shades, the first murky hint of dawn slipped, slanting shadowy bars over the bed. It was like waking in a cell.
For a moment she simply lay there, shuddering, imprisoned, while the dream faded. After ten years on the force, Eve still had dreams.

Page 56: "I've heard of them. Still hear about them. You think Rockman's involved with a fanatic splinter group like that?'"

From Goodreads: In a world of danger
and deception, she walks the line--between seductive passion and
scandalous murder... Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting
for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she's seen it
all--and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going
against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an
Irish billionaire--and a suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But
passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to
take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about--except the
addictive hunger of needing his touch.
