Saturday Sample: Never Trust a Pretty Wolf


For the last few months I've been sharing excerpts from Turnaround Farm, but today I'm sharing from another book, 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.


Excerpt: 
Chapter One

Last week:
Tony passed a steaming cup of coffee to Andy. “You know why, and it’s a perfectly normal reaction. You aren’t Superman even though you try to be.”

“I have no idea what you mean.”

“Andy...”


Andy tried his best frown on Tony. “Look, I don’t want to 
talk about it.” 

“But...”

“If you won’t drop this topic of conversation I’m going home,” Andy warned.

Tony threw his hands up in surrender. “All right, you win. Here. Read the rules for Melton’s game. It’s for charity, you know.”

He thrust a glossy, colorful pamphlet at Andy, who scowled like a maniac. “I don’t want to participate in this thing, Tony, and you know it. If you think it’s so cool, do it  yourself.”

“Can’t.” He smirked at Andy. “Melinda’s folks are visiting us that week. If I don’t stay at home to help entertain them, Melinda will kill me.”

This week:
Andy groaned and cursed under his breath.

 “Children.”

Rebuked, Andy subsided and threw the pamphlet back at Tony who caught it right before it landed in his coffee. “Just tell me what it says.”

Tony rolled his eyes. “You’re the soul of graciousness, Andy. Okay, it’s simple. Geocaching is a game that’s played with a GPS unit.”

“A real GPS unit?”

Tony nodded.

Saturday Sample: Turnaround Farm


Welcome to Saturday Sample. Today I'm sharing an excerpt from my new release Turnaround Farm. Turnaround Farm is a Kindle Unlimited title available at https://wingsepress.com/turnaround-farm/


Blurb:
If up and coming realtor Holly Grant can buy Turnaround Farm for her client, her business will boom. Who says you have to have a man in your life to complete you? She’s fine as she is thank you very much. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen. 

Last Week.
She’s still limping, and she’s off her feed.”

“Sure.”

Dinner was a silent affair because Jeb’s thoughts had turned to his grandson.
The Wakefield family had been one of the founding families in the town of Fairfield, prospering over the years through the raising and training of horses. A warm light briefly shone in his eyes. If he did say so, he had made quite a name for himself in the horse world.

His stomach knotted. If only Kyle...Well, Kyle was another matter altogether. As far as Jeb knew, his only son had done just one good thing during his entire life; he had married Millie Lane and produced Dan.

This Week: We continue where we left off last week.

Last Week:
Chapter 1

With an air of reverence, Eleanor O’Malley passed her hand across the white damask tablecloth in the box. “This is very nice, Peyton. Feel how heavy it is. It should last you a lifetime.”

Peyton opened and read the card that accompanied the gift. “Best wishes for a long and happy marriage. Henry and Anne Williams.”

Her mother flashed her best high-wattage smile. “Can you believe it? The Williams family sent you a wedding gift! They’re one of the nicest families in town.”

Blurb:

Jenna West has no idea what she might have done to her new tenant Mike Hightower. He's surly and hateful every single time they meet, and he looks at her as though he despises her.

He does despise her. She's from the Middle East, and people like her killed his friend Ramirez when the army sent them to Iraq.

Will the power of love work its magic to soften Mike's bitter hatred, or will he ignore his growing attraction for his pretty landlady?

This week: Mike is shocked by Jenna West.

Hmm. Not a bad idea. Seeing her had brought back terrible memories and made him miss Ramirez all over again. He could keep looking too. No law that said he had to stay in the duplex if he found something better.

After dinner, he told his parents what he had decided, and he drove to the duplex. As he parked his car on the side of the road, he spotted Jenna West on her knees planting some flowers. In spite of himself, he noticed the way her jeans hugged her bottom and revealed some nice curves. Huh! He’d known a few guys in the army who had fallen for local women, but it had
always ended badly.

“Yes. Mike Hightower?”

Mike nodded.


“I unlocked the door for you. If you’re interested, give 
a yell. If not, I’ll assume that you don’t want it.” 

“Fine.”

Mike almost left. A Middle Eastern woman had no business in Eden’s Crossing! Her people had killed Ramirez. When did she come here? Oh, wait. Seems like he did remember a young Middle Eastern girl who’d been three grades behind him in school.

Last Week:


This week: Mike goes to a local hangout for lunch and thinks of his friend Ramirez.

His mood darkened. He and Ramirez had visited a similar place when they went through boot camp together. If he lived to be a hundred, he’d never understand those Iraqis. If not for them and the other fanatics in the Middle East, Ramirez would still be alive. His heart burned with resentment. Ramirez was worth more than the whole dang country of Iraq, but thanks to those savages, Ramirez would never see his child grow up. He’d never hold his wife again, and he’d never thump a friend on the shoulder and tell fishing stories to him.

This week: An introduction.

They shook hands, and Mike went back to the receptionist’s desk to sign out. 

“Will you be working for Taylor-Lord, Mr. Hightower?”

“Yes, I start on Monday.”

“Good. I’m Carol Burch, by the way.”


“Nice to meet you, Ms. Burch.”


She smiled sweetly, and looked into his eyes. “Oh, 
call me Carol, Mike.”
