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


“Do you want me to drive awhile?”

“I suppose you can. There’s a rest area up ahead. We’ll stop there for a moment.”

She wheeled into the rest area and jumped out of the Mustang almost before Andy got his seat belt unbuckled. As he watched, she hurried down the sidewalk and disappeared into the ladies’ room.
He stretched and meandered over to the vending machines to get a snack. A chocolate bar and soft drink sounded like just the thing. By the time he got his drink and candy, Ms. Wolf had joined him. 

“Are you ready?” she demanded.

This week: We're in Andy's POV. He speaks first.

“No, I’m not. I want to use the restroom before we leave.” 

 “Then make it snappy. I want to get to that cache first.” 

 Andy bit his lip to hold the hot words in. He quickly used the restroom and hurried back to the Mustang. He settled himself in the driver’s seat and stuck out his hand. “Give me the keys.”

 She passed the keys to him with a cold glare. “Don’t hurt my car.”

    Love it big time. She's a rascal and he thinks he's the boss but the car is hers.

    Okay - at least she's letting him drive. Is that progress or exhaustion?

    Demanding the keys? I wonder what she was thinking behind that cold look.

    I like his self control because wow, she sure gives him a lot of provocation! There must be quite a back story here...great snippet!

    Boy, is she a piece of work or what? I know Andy is wishing he'd bailed in the beginning. I'm really wanting to know how he's going to get through to her inner self (I'm assuming she has a soft side somewhere). Vivid and riveting characters.

    She is really making her obnoxious, with a capital 'NOX.' I hope she does something nice soon so I don't lose sympathy with her.
