TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!
“Anna scolded herself for not telling VanCleve on that first day that Little Bek did not belong to her. But his false perception had served at the time to reinforce the story of widowhood, a story she had made up along with the forged documents to gain license to sell her books in the marketplace.”
- The Mercy Seller by Brenda Rickman Vantrease, p. 162

Great teaser! That book sounds really interesting. Imagine having to pose as someone you aren’t (widow), with forged documents so you can have a book business!

This sounds good, thanks for sharing.
Interesting. Since she is scolding herself, I’m guessing that she suspects this will come back to bite her in the butt.
