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:
He turned his attention to Liesel, who was pushing her dinner around on a pale green china plate that probably cost more than he made in a week. She hadn’t said two words to him since they’d sat down. “So, Liesel? What do you know about geocaching?” She hadn’t given him permission to call her Liesel, but he intended to anyway.

“Nothing.”

“How did Melton find you?”

“My property adjoins his.”

She didn’t ask about him, but he told her anyway. “I’m taking my brother’s place because his wife’s relatives are coming for a visit, and he’ll be busy.”
Excerpt: 


“That’s nice.”

“Which part? Me taking his place or the relatives coming?” 
Her lips thinned. “Both.”

No doubt about it. She didn’t like him and didn’t want to be his partner. If she felt that way, she might back out of the game. She had expected to play with the mayor, not the mayor’s brother.

 Andy stifled a grim smile.

    Poor Andy, but it looks like he's reading this correctly.

    Your writing is so perfectly descriptive, Elaine. I was right inside that scene!:-)

    Happy New Year!

    I feel really bad for Andy, but at least he's reading her correctly. I do, however, wonder if he can change her mind. Great snippet! Happy New Year, Elaine!

    I'll be fascinated what's really behind her pique, when we learn more about her! Enjoyed the snippet...

    If she bails on him, he won't get to play. That wouldn't be good. I hope they can work things out.
