He lives by the law.
She’s running for her life.
After forensic accountant Beth Greenwood uncovers a money-laundering scheme tying her company to the organization that murdered her mentor, she knows she needs to go into hiding.

Can their uneasy alliance develop into something deeper—and keep them alive?

The man holding Beth spun toward the noise.
The next instant he yelped and stumbled backward, clutching his face.
Beth held a canister of pepper spray in her outstretched hand. Corbin dived into his car and roared out of the space, positioning the passenger side before Beth. He leaned over the console and pushed open the door. “Get in!”
She scooped up her purse, her frightened gaze swinging between him and her car.
The pepper-sprayed man had reached the getaway vehicle. Still blinded, he fumbled with the handle.
Beth shook her head. “No.”
“Get in!” Corbin ordered. “There’s no time.”
A bullet ricocheted off the hood.
The getaway driver had a gun. The noise propelled her forward. She leaped into the passenger seat as another bullet shattered the windshield of her car. Beth threw her arms over her face and crouched behind the dash.
Corbin sped down the garage ramp in Reverse. When they reached the next level, he spun the wheel. The tires squealed and smoked, circling the car forward.
“Put on your seat belt,” he ordered gruffly. Glancing at the review mirror, he caught sight of the car following them. “Hang on. This might get bumpy.”
Welcome to my debut book in a different genre! Writing for Love Inspired Suspense has been a new and exciting adventure for me. For the past five years, I’ve been immersed in the historical old West. Switching from bonnets and wagons to cell phones and cyber security has been both challenging and fun.
No matter the genre, all writers have their own unique and personal method for creating plots and characters. For me, it’s important that I see the opening scene clearly in my head. In No Safe Place, Beth Greenwood is facing a moral dilemma. The decision she makes at the beginning of the book transforms her life. I’m fascinated by stories involving ordinary people forced into extraordinary circumstances. I hope this book will be the first of many suspense adventures!
I love hearing from readers and would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this story. If you’re interested in learning more about this book or other series I have written, I have more information on my website: sherrishackelford.com.
