For this "Friday Reads," I'm highlighing No One to Trust by Melody Carlson, a new Love Inspired Suspense release (March 8, 2016). Here's an excerpt:
***
The guy had a gun trained on the woman Jon had seen earlier.
"Call off that dog!" the man screamed at Jon.
"Come here, boy," Jon said with authority. His tail between his legs, Ralph slowly approached and Jon scooped him up. The little dog's body was tense, as if on high alert, as if something was still very wrong.
"Now get outta here!" the guy yelled, waving his weapon.
The frightened woman watched Jon with a tear-streaked face. He knew he needed to do something — but what?
"I warned you!" The man look flustered and agitated — as if trying to make up his mind. Probably deciding which one of them to shoot next.
In that same split second, Jon looked at the woman and made his decision. "Run!" He yelled at her.
As the man with the gun turned to the woman, Jon sprang at him and knocked him flat onto the gravel road, making the revolver fly from his hand.
"Run for your life!" Jon yelled at her.
