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. I'm posting the same thing I posted last Sunday because I forgot to sign up. So forgive me if you've already read this.

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:

Thomas Melton and his wife Irene lived about ten miles outside of Shady Corners. A nice stone wall that showed an amazing level of craftsmanship surrounded the property. Twelve or so horses grazed on a lush, green pasture that bordered the road.
On the far side of the pasture, Andy saw the house. It was a three‑story, brick Georgian that blazed with lights. He also saw several nicely dressed men and women at the front door.

When he stopped his car, a valet immediately appeared to park it. Andy wondered how many people Melton expected. He wouldn’t have thought they needed valet parking, but if you had the money, why not?

He made his way to the door and saw a tall, thin, cheerful looking man shaking hands with all the newcomers.
Excerpt


The man’s glasses sat slightly askew on his nose, but his blue eyes were large and shrewd. He saw Andy and exclaimed, “You must be Andy Bryce. I’m Thomas Melton. Come in. Everyone’s here now, except for your partner.”

 Andy held out his hand. “Thank you for...”

He broke off as tires squealed on the highway. The Mustang’s driver overshot the driveway and had to back up to take the turn. “My partner?” he asked.

    I suspect he's in for a surprise when his "partner" arrives.
