Saturday Sample and Weekend Writing Warriors: Never Trust a Pretty Wolf


Welcome to Saturday Sample and Weekend Writing Warriors. Today we'll continue to share excerpts from Never Trust a Pretty Wolf. On Sunday when you finish here, do go to http://www.wewriwa.blogspot.com for more excerpts from a bunch of great authors.

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.

Excerpt: 
Chapter One

Last Week


“Don’t be too sure about that. A million dollars is a lot of money.”

Why did she want his phone turned off so badly? She had offered a plausible explanation, but he’d bet she had another reason. As a marshal he knew that people lied, some of them very convincingly. Unfortunately, he thought she had skirted the truth. His internal hackles rose a bit. Did he really want to play ball with Liesel Wolf? He had enough troubles without adding any more.

The Mustang shot forward the second the light changed; guess he’d waited too late to quit.

This week: We're in Andy's POV

Thank goodness he’s finally fallen asleep. Liesel took a deep, deep breath and softly blew it out. He had tried for two hours straight to make her talk to him, but he’d finally given up.

 She sneaked a peek at Bryce while he slept. He looked even more appealing now than he had last night. Hmm. Look at those little crinkles in the corners of his eyes. He’d probably do well in Hollywood. She could picture him cast in the role of the cowboy good guy, the one who wore the white hat and faced the bad guys in the street. He’d always win because of his great virtue.

    How on earth do you ignore someone who is talking to you for two hours? I don't think I like Liesel very much. That just sounds rude, especially when she recognizes that Andy's the good guy in this. Great snippet!

    BTW, Elaine--You say this week's snippet is in Andy's POV, but it's actually Liesel's.

    She is watching him as he sleeps and I got a kick out of what's happening.

    She comes off as hard, but this snippet showed a slightly softer side of her.

    Uh oh, she's weakening ever so slightly here LOL. Enjoyed the snippet although I'm surprised he felt comfortable enough to sleep...but I relish your unexpected twists and turns.

    Great! I love the unspoken tension between her appreciation for his looks and her determination to have little to do with him.

    Like Jenna, I wonder how she could ignore someone talking to you for over two hours. It doesn't jive with her feelings toward him as he sleeps.

    She's attracted to him despite her wanting nothing to do with him.

    It seems she isn't as impenetrable as I thought. Can't wait to read more!
