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:
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.

Excerpt: We're in Andy's POV.

He took a deep breath and clasped his hands under the table to hide their shaking.

 Melton took center stage once more. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll pass out your GPS units at this time. Tomorrow morning at eight sharp your coordinates will be emailed to you. From that point you’re on your own. The team that finds the cache first, and brings the proof back to me, is the winner and can select the charity that will receive the money. Please remember that a boat, train, car or truck is the only acceptable mode of transportation. No planes.”

 After everyone applauded again, the party started to break up. “I’ll walk out with you,” Andy said as Ms. Wolf picked up her small, black, sequined purse and prepared to leave.

    That seems to be a big GC game--that he has to mention no planes. That adds a whole new level of interest to this already intriguing tale!

    No planes . . . which implies that this geocaching game might cover a lot of territory.
