Hello First Liners! It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to share another first line with you. This week I’m sharing the first line from Cara Putman’s new release, Beyond Justice. Here’s a little bit about it:
~ About the Book ~
If the case she’s just been handed doesn’t destroy her first.
Hayden McCarthy knows firsthand the pain that follows when justice is not served. It’s why she became an attorney and why she’s so driven in her career. When she’s assigned a wrongful death case against the government, she isn’t sure if it’s the lucky break she needs to secure a partnership—or an attempt to make sure she never gets there.
Further complicating matters is Andrew Wesley, her roommate’s distractingly attractive cousin. But Andrew’s father is a congressman, and Hayden’s currently taking on the government. Could the timing be any worse?
The longer she keeps the case active, the higher the stakes become. Unknown enemies seem determined to kill the case—or her. Logic and self-preservation indicate she should close the case. But how can she, when justice is still just beyond her reach?
~ First Line ~
If he didn’t find that flash drive now, he would have to disappear. Immediately.
As a former legal secretary, I’m looking forward to reentering that world for a little while, even if it is only through the pages of a book!

Thanks for sharing this book! It sounds like a good read.
It’s certainly got me intrigued at the moment!
Good morning! My first line is from “Stone and Snow,” by Sibella Giorello. I love the Raleigh Harmon mysteries. I’m catching up on the young Raleigh Harmon books.
“Einstein’s theory of relativity?”
I laughed when I read this. It just struck me funny! 🙂
I love Raleigh Harmon. And I’m waaaaay behind on the series. 😔 I need more reading time!
I’m looking forward to reading Cara’s new series!
My first line comes from A Heart So True by Dorothy Love. This is the first story in Among The Fair Magnolias collection.
Pawleys Island, South Carolina

HAD WADE BENNETT TRULY FORGIVEN HER?
Well, I guess I’ll have to read it to find out!
This book is on my Want to Read list.
Yesterday I read Pepper Basham’s book Just the Way You Are ~sigh~ It’s so good that I will read it again soon. My first line:
“One step into the massive, glass-walled waiting area was all it took.”
Isn’t it great?! I might have already read it twice myself 😊
Cara is a favored author, I’m looking forward to reading this one. Happy Friday!
Thanks! It’s a great read. Have a good weekend. 🙂
