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



“No, I don’t see anything.”

Andy shrugged. “It was worth a shot.” He picked up the can to put it back in the rack.

“Wait,” Liesel cried. “I see something taped to the bottom.”

She jerked a plastic envelope off the bottom of the trash can and took out a sheet of laminated pink paper. “Congratulations,” she read aloud. “You have found the next set of coordinates.”

After copying the coordinates onto the edge of her map, they put the envelope back where they had found it.

This week: Andy and Liesel find Melton's first communication. Liesel speaks first.

“I see now how he intends to play this game. I’m betting he sends us several places before we find the proof we need to win the money. We need to hurry. It’ll be dark before long, and I’d like to find the second coordinates so we can keep moving.”

 Andy’s eyebrows shot straight up. “You don’t plan to sleep until we find the cache?”

 “That’s right.”

 “That’s plain nutty,” he objected. “We have to rest sometime. Besides, how do you think we can find the cache if it’s the middle of the night?

    Man, she is one determined woman. Definitely on a mission. But why? More and more curious about her motives. Great snippet!

    She's very dedicated to this! I'm with her though, there's no time to sleep on this quest. Great snippet!

    She is stubborn, but probably correct.

    Why is she in such a hurry? Simply to get this game over, or is there another motive in wanting to win?

    This is a game! She acts like she's on a mission of high importance. Think she's taking this a little too seriously?

    Hmm. This snippet raises a lot more questions than it answers.

    Her determinism is turning into an obsession. Like the others I want to know her motives and if they are at odds with his.

    She's driven, he's rational. Not a match made in scavenger hunt heaven . . . but it's fun for the reader!
