This week my teaser comes from A Royal Likeness by Christine Trent.

Page: 307 
"She dropped his hand and crossed her arms over her chest again. She was back to being defiant. 'You are the strangest, most inconsistent man I have ever met.' "

My teaser this week comes from Child of the Northern Spring by Persia Woolley.

Page 322 :
"He was silent for a bit, and I wondered what he felt about the lady who had birthed him but never raised him. As tactfully as possible, I inquired as to what she was like."
Page 93:
"She dipped her hand in the waters of the lake and drew it back with an exclamation of surprise."

My teaser this week comes from the book: Virgin Widow by Anne O'Brien.

Page 155:
"On my words the door opened. We looked up expecting the return of Isabel and another sour blast of her temper. But it was the Earl who entered in time to hear my unhopeful question."

Page 39:
" 'You succeeded. I thought you were my friend.' He spoke to me as a brother to a younger sister. But still it pleased me. I was rarely admitted to such intimacy."

My teaser this week comes from the book The Mischief of the Mistletoe by Lauren Willig.

From page 176:
 "Read my lips." Turnip obediently looked at her lips. Arabella enunciated very carefully. "There are no spies. There are a series of school-girl pranks and a mildly mad music master with poor taste in facial hair. But there are NO SPIES."

From page 299: 
"Lifting her hand from the book, Arabella very slowly turned the rest of the way around, conscious of the pistol following her every move."
