Welcome to another Tuesday celebrating bookish events, from Tuesday/First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Bibliophile by the Sea Every Tuesday, Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea posts the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book she decided to read based on the opening. Feel free to grab the banner and play along.
This week my opener comes from The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle which will be published on 29 December 2016 by HarperCollins.

Maybe she’s glad that he’s dead… Amazon

This morning it’s my feet, and I wedge them between his two warm calves.
So an opening which illustrates easy affection but one we know won’t last…
