First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

• Grab your current read(s).
• Share the first line(s).
• Include the title and author.

"Cindy Thomas followed Robert Barnett's assistant down the long corridor at the law firm of Barnett and Associates in Washington, DC. This meeting could be the beginning of something terrific, and she had dressed for the win: sleek black dress, tailored leather jacket, a touch of lipstick, and an air of confidence that came from the material itself."
