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:
“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.

Excerpt: We're in Andy's POV.


He’d talk to her all night, giving her plenty of reason to drop out of the game. Melton ruined his plan when he tapped on a glass and stood up to speak.

 “I’d like to thank each and every one of you for agreeing to participate in my geocaching game. I think you’ll have a good time, but more importantly you’ll be playing for the chance to help the charity of your choice.”

 Applause broke out around the room. “Thank you,” Melton said with a smile as the clapping died away. “Let’s take a moment to introduce ourselves.”

 Each person stood up and gave a brief introduction. Andy knew many of these people by reputation only. He had heard their names on TV many times. However, he suspected that the ones he didn’t know were the real players in the room.

    All of a sudden the geocaching game becomes more real to me. It's a big deal.

    Let the games begin! I wonder if they will get along better once they begin to play the game? Nice snippet!

    I do believe there is trouble afoot. Looking forward to next week, my friend.

    This is a really fascinating group you've assembled to play the geocaching game, which adds to the fun of the story for sure. Excellent excerpt!

    The gang's all here. Neither of them are going to be able to back out now. Let the game's begin!
