For the last few months I've been sharing excerpts from Turnaround Farm, but today I'm sharing from another book, Never Trust a Pretty Wolf. We'll begin with Chapter One.

Blurb:
Liesel Wolf has a secret, a dangerous secret she’ll go to any lengths to conceal. When she’s paired in a charity game with sexy marshal Andy Bryce, a man with secrets of his own, her carefully constructed world comes crashing down, and Liesel’s on a collision course with her past.

Last week:
“Yeah. The basic idea is for groups or individuals to hide caches all over the world. Then they post the GPS coordinates of the cache on the Internet. After that, people who play the game go out and find the cache.”

Andy thought a minute. “But if someone gets there before you do, you wouldn’t find anything.”

“Yes, you would. If you take something, you’re supposed to leave something in return.”

In spite of himself Andy felt a stirring of interest. “Valuable things?”


Excerpt
“No, usually not,” Tony answered. “Some people just have a logbook in a watertight container. You write in the logbook and replace it.”

 Andy blew on his steaming coffee and took a sip. “I guess you could leave coordinates to another site and have searchers go there to find the cache.”

 “That’s right,” Tony agreed. “Or maybe you could leave a map directing them to the cache.”

 “That does sound like fun,” Andy admitted as he sipped his coffee. “But with a GPS wouldn’t it be simple to find the cache?”

 “It’s surprisingly hard to do.”

    Sounds like expensive fun. Treasure hunting without the treasure.

    This is exactly what my daughter does. She makes little favors to leave. And yes, some of the caches are very hard to find. She's been trying to find one at a Wendy's in the DC area for years now! Great details in this snippet!

    Interesting. I see why Andy is intrigued. I now know more about Geo Caching than I ever did. :-) Thanks, Elaine.
