Tuesday Intro/Teaser

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


San Francisco, Summer 1903
Merciful Providence...I smell a rat! Nose in the air, Allison McClare, sniffed, the unmistakable scent of Bay Rum drifting into her empty classroom of the Hand of Hope School. Although not uncommon for an antiquated Victorian house a stone's throw from the sewers of the Barbary Coast, this smell of "rat" was altogether different and far more intriguing. She wrinkled her nose. This man is kind. "I think you took a wrong turn, lady. High tea is at The Palace."

Dare to Love Again by Julie Lessman

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading.


"And for your information, sir, I am the new English and drama teacher for the Hand of Hope School for girls, so I hardly need some surly wiseacre telling me I took a wrong turn."
