Liesel roared down the driveway in the Mustang. The horses near the rock wall snorted in alarm and cantered away, their manes and tails flying in the wind. She knew she shouldn’t have agreed to play this stupid game. No matter how much she wanted to win that million dollars, she shouldn’t have let her guard down.
She jerked at the clip that held her hair in place and allowed her curls to tumble around her shoulders. Was it too late to cancel? Probably.

This week: In Liesel's POV
Oh, that last line!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that we now know she has definitely checked him out, but, uh oh! There is trouble ahead. lol
BTW, NICE description of him.
So her secret involves having broken the law? That's my interpret that sneaky final line.

ReplyDeleteAnd the conflict builds. I love lots of conflict and she clearly has it in spades. Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeletePretty detailed evaluation of his person for her to be totally unaffected. Worried about a Marshall, heh? She's after the prize . . . for herself?
ReplyDeleteConflicts galore, there was definitely a prize for her.
ReplyDeleteWell she's certainly paying attention to him...enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with him being a marshall? They will have fun in this contest.
ReplyDeleteWell, she's certainly checked him out thoroughly. (Great description, BTW) But it's the fact that he's a marshal that turns her off or frightens her. So what has she done that she wants nothing to do with the law? Great snippet! Can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteShe definitely checked him out. lol
ReplyDeleteShe needs money and fears a marshal. Uh oh. What has she done? Great snippet.
