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



They reached the South Carolina state line around eight that evening. It wasn’t dark yet, but it soon would be. “Check the coordinates,” Liesel ordered as she piloted the car into the first rest area they came to. “We’re close now.”

Andy pulled out their GPS and studied it in the fading light. “The first coordinates should be hidden somewhere at this rest stop.”

They got out of the car with the GPS and started looking. He hoped his back would soon feel better. Riding for hours with only a few short breaks had just about killed him. He checked the GPS again. 

This week: I've skipped forward a few pages to the time where Andy and Liesel find the first set of coordinates.
“The cache must be inside the garbage can. We’re at the right place, and I don’t see anywhere else it could be.”

 “Melton wouldn’t put the cache in the garbage can. Someone might throw it away or take it.” She fell to her knees and ran her hands along the grass underneath the wooden rack that held the garbage can. “Maybe he buried it.”

 “I’ve got an idea. I’ll take the can out of the rack. Maybe it’s sitting on the cache.”

 When he removed the can, Liesel jumped up to look.

Excerpt: 
Chapter One

Last Week
Of course Tony’s in-­ laws could drive a man to drink, but still... He looked around, but he didn’t see Ms. Wolf’s car. Good. Maybe she decided not to come. If so, he could go home and forget everything. No such luck.

He saw the blue Mustang sitting at the red light. When the light changed, Liesel wheeled into the parking lot. The minute she opened the car door, Andy started to do a slow burn. Today she wore jeans and a tight yellow tee shirt that hugged her breasts and looked so good on her his mouth started to water.

This week: We're in Andy's POV

She had put her hair up as she had done the previous evening. He was sure she knew how it showcased the graceful, feminine curve of her pretty neck.

 Her first, tart words broke the spell. “Good morning, Mr. Bryce. Why don’t you put your bag in the trunk with my things?”

 “Sure.” He’d told her to call him Andy, but evidently she had no intention of doing so.

 She took her computer with her when they went into the IHOP. “Let’s eat a big breakfast so we can skip lunch,” she suggested. “We’ll save time if we do.”

Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors: Never Trust a Pretty Wolf

Welcome to Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors, your chance to sample the work of a talented group of authors. When you finish here you can find more snippets at:

http://www.wewriwa.com   

https://www.facebook.com/groups/SnippetSunday/

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. I'm posting the same thing I posted last Sunday because I forgot to sign up. So forgive me if you've already read this.

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:
She briefly shook his hand but furtively wiped it on her dress the moment she let go. “How do you do, Mr. Bryce?”

Her hand had felt smooth and soft in his, yet she had a firm grip. “That’s a little formal. Why don’t you call me Andy?”

“Okay, Andy.”

Hm. She didn’t tell him to call her Liesel.

“Let’s go inside,” Melton urged. “The caterer’s ready to
serve dinner.”
Excerpt: I've skipped a few paragraphs. Andy and Liesel are at dinner.

He turned his attention to Liesel, who was pushing her dinner around on a pale green china plate that probably cost more than he made in a week. She hadn’t said two words to him since they’d sat down. “So, Liesel? What do you know about geocaching?” She hadn’t given him permission to call her Liesel, but he intended to anyway.

“Nothing.”

“How did Melton find you?”

“My property adjoins his.”

She didn’t ask about him, but he told her anyway. “I’m taking my brother’s place because his wife’s relatives are coming for a visit, and he’ll be busy.”

Last week:
Melton nodded. “He was. But something came up, and his brother’s filling in for him.”

She didn’t want to be his partner. Andy knew it as surely as he knew his own name. He wondered if she had heard about... Yeah, she could have. The story made most of the big papers. The Marshals had trained him to read people, so he knew Ms. Wolf didn’t like him.

Last week:
As he stared at her mouth, a bolt of fire stabbed him right below his belt. He could only imagine how it might feel to kiss and taste those lush, red lips.

She sashayed up to the porch and held out her hand to Melton. “Good evening, Thomas.”

Melton was having a hard time getting his voice under control, but he finally stuttered, “Welcome, L... Li... Liesel. It’s great to finally meet you in person. This is your partner, Andy Bryce. Andy’s a United States Marshal.”

The light left her face. She shot Andy a look of what he swore was dislike, even though they’d never met. “Oh, but I thought you said the mayor was my partner.”

“Yes, I imagine so. I don’t know what kind of car she drives, but she’s the only one who isn’t here.”

The minute the blue Mustang came to a halt, the valet hurried to open the car door for the newcomer. A pair of long, shapely legs unfolded from the car. Andy’s mouth went dry as his eyes traveled from her legs to her face. He had discovered a goddess. An overworked cliché perhaps, but he knew of no other words to describe her.

The goddess had Titian hair which begged him to run his fingers through it, freeing those glorious curls. Even from where he stood, her eyes glowed with an emerald fire. Her skin looked as if it would put satin to shame.

Last week:
The man’s glasses sat slightly askew on his nose, but his blue eyes were large and shrewd. He saw Andy and exclaimed, “You must be Andy Bryce. I’m Thomas Melton. Come in. Everyone’s here now, except for your partner.”

Andy held out his hand. “Thank you for...”

He broke off as tires squealed on the highway. The Mustang’s driver overshot the driveway and had to back up to take the turn. “My partner?” he asked.

She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. Thank goodness she didn’t have the pendant anymore. She had sold it months ago. Her sweet necklace of black Austrian crystals would look stunning with her dress.

She fastened the necklace and slipped her feet into black stilettos. They hurt like the dickens, but boy did they do wonderful things for a girl’s legs. Laughing aloud, she grabbed her purse and ran down the stairs. She’d drive herself to the party in her new car, a midnight blue Mustang with an engine that growled like a tiger on the prowl.

She backed out of the driveway just a touch faster than she should, spraying gravel from beneath the Mustang’s wheels. Some days it just felt good to be alive.
Excerpt


Thomas Melton and his wife Irene lived about ten miles outside of Shady Corners. A nice stone wall that showed an amazing level of craftsmanship surrounded the property. Twelve or so horses grazed on a lush, green pasture that bordered the road.
On the far side of the pasture, Andy saw the house. It was a three‑story, brick Georgian that blazed with lights. He also saw several nicely dressed men and women at the front door.

 When he stopped his car, a valet immediately appeared to park it. Andy wondered how many people Melton expected. He wouldn’t have thought they needed valet parking, but if you had the money, why not?

 He made his way to the door and saw a tall, thin, cheerful looking man shaking hands with all the newcomers.

Last week:
Liesel Wolf drew a brush through her long, chestnut curls and efficiently secured her hair on top of her head, leaving several pretty strands loose around her face. She had let it grow out for six months now, and it had finally gotten to a length that she loved. It cascaded around her shoulders in soft, riotous ringlets that she could do so many different things with.

She left the bathroom to get dressed. If she didn’t hurry she’d be late. After slipping into the little black dress she’d bought last summer, she studied herself in the full‑length mirror standing in the corner of her bedroom. Nice. Very nice. Short, form‑fitting, and low cut. Just right for the five carat diamond pendant William had given her.

“You’ll be playing with the person assigned to me.”

“Tony, I’m supposed to be having a little R and R, not
playing a stupid game,” Andy protested.

“It won’t hurt you to get out a bit,” Tony insisted. “Melton’s
giving a party on the fifth to introduce the teams.” He smiled at Andy. “You’ll be expected to go.”

Piercing shrieks emanated from the kitchen. While Tony hastily set his coffee cup down and ran to find out what his offspring had gotten themselves into, Andy picked up the pamphlet to read about the game.
