Today I'm sharing excerpts from 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:
Most of them had an air of assurance that only came from having a huge bank account and possibly an old family name.

He counted twenty teams of two. As luck would have it, he and Liesel brought up the rear. He’d rather not have introduced himself, but it would look bad to refuse.

When his turn came he stood up and said, “My name is Andy Bryce. I’m standing in for my brother, Tony, who’s the mayor of Shady Corners. I also live in Shady Corners, and I work for the U.S. Marshals.”

The guests politely applauded, and then Ms. Wolf gracefully rose to her feet, turning every male head in the room. “Hi, I’m Liesel Wolf, and I’m Mr. Bryce’s partner.” She smiled and took her seat, saying nothing more.

Excerpt: We're in Andy's POV.

Andy’s eyebrows shot up. He had given a brief introduction, but Ms. Wolf really hadn’t introduced herself at all. Why not? Did she have something to hide?
No, of course she didn’t. Maybe she hoped he’d take the hint that she didn’t want to be his partner and withdraw from the game. Well, if that’s what she wanted she’d better think again. Andy Bryce wouldn’t quit because of a cold reception from a woman he didn’t even know. She’d probably read in the papers about the... Yeah, she probably knew. That would explain her coolness.

    Well he's coming to the wrong conclusion, which surprises me since he's a Marshal. Hmmm. Makes for a very interesting story though, wondering what will happen next! Great snippet...

    Andy may not think she has something to hide, but I sure do. But then Andy seems to be worrying about his own indiscretion perhaps? Interesting little ... Loved the snippet!
