Can She Get Home for Christmas?
(2018)(Book 18 in the Decorah Security series)
A Story by Rebecca York
Desperate to get home for Christmas, Samantha Donovan doesn't realize she's in terrible danger as she drives through a blinding snowstorm. Only Jax Warden's psychic powers can save her. But Sam is suspicious of the explanation Jax gives her for why he showed up at just the right time to rescue her from a serial killer. Can she trust him enough to accept his help?
When Samantha's car goes off the road, a man she doesn't know has kidnapped and killed several women offers her a ride to her parents' house.
EXCERPT:
"Would it be too much of an imposition to take the stuff I'm bringing?" she asked.
He hesitated for a moment.
"Everything's right in the back seat."
When she saw his uncertain look, she added, "But we don't have to bring it all. Maybe we can leave the presents. I can put them in the trunk so nobody can see them."
"Sure. I can do that. Why don't you get in my car, and I'll go down there."
"I have to lock up."
"I can do that, too. Give me your keys."
He was being super helpful now, yet there was something in the tone of his voice that set her nerves tingling.
"I'll wait out here," she said as she stood shivering in the cold and snow.
"I said get in the car," he ordered, his voice sharpening.
In the space of a second, she knew she was in bad trouble. She backed away, her heart slamming against the inside of her chest. She couldn't outrun this guy. But maybe she could make it back to her car and lock herself in. She was still grasping at that slim chance when he reached under his coat and pulled out a gun, aiming it at the center of her chest.
"Get in the car, I said. In the back."
She flicked a glance inside. There was no back seat, only a flattened cargo area, and on the surface she saw a large metal ring - like the kind used to tie down cargo.
