Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - July 10th

This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join on the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.

It's that simple.

I'm also joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader.


I'm hoping to read this one soon. It sounds really good.

Prologue

Clients trust me because I blend in. It's a natural skill - my gift, if you like.

The groom is an old friend, yet I've only met his now-wife twice. She seems reserved, hard to get to know, but in their wedding album she'll glow. The camera does not lie. My role is to take these lies and spin them into the perfect story.


From 56% on my Kindle...
