When Dreams Cross (20 page)

“I know that temper. I can deal with it.”

“I can’t,” she bit out, lips quivering. “It might land me in jail.” Her face reddened to back up the words, seething blood and storming emotions threatening to implode, leaving her their only victim, if she didn’t start driving.

“Then when can I see you?” The question was a pleading whisper against her face.

“Never. Now get away from my car.”

Clint opened his mouth to speak again, but only a frustrated breath escaped. “I’ll let you go now, but it’s not over by a long shot.”

Sherry slipped her car into reverse. “It’s your time, your energy. Waste it if you want.”

Slowly, Clint stepped back and allowed her to pull her door closed. He stood watching as she backed away from the Bronco’s barricade, then shifted into drive with a screech of rubber and went around it.

Numbness was something Sherry would have sold her soul for at that moment, for her heart ached enormously as she glanced back at him before making her turn. He was leaning against the Bronco as he stared after her. Quickly, she turned, leaving him behind, though the sight of him was inexorably drafted on her mind.

Last Light
Terri Blackstock

Today, the world as you know it will end.
No need to turn off the lights.

Your car suddenly stalls and won’t restart.
You can’t call for help because your cell phone is dead.
Everyone around you is having the same problem …
and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Your city is in a blackout. Communication is cut off.
Hospital equipment won’t operate.
And airplanes are falling from the sky.
Is it a terrorist attack … or something far worse?

In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, Deni Branning’s career ambitions have vanished. She’s not about to let her dream of marriage go as well.

But keeping it alive will require extraordinary measures. Yesterday’s world is gone. All Deni and her family have left is each other and their neighbors. Their little community will either stand or fall together. But they’re only beginning to realize it—and trust doesn’t come easily.

Particularly when one of them is a killer.

Bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock weaves a masterful what-if novel in which global catastrophe reveals the darkness in human hearts—and lights the way to restoration for a self-centered world.

But Nick Marcello is overseeing the project, and some in the church think Nick and Brooke’s relationship is not entirely professional—and as before, there is no convincing those people otherwise.

In the face of mounting rumors, the two set out to produce the masterpiece Nick has conceived: a brilliant set of windows displaying God’s covenants in the Bible. For Brooke, it is more than a project—it is a journey toward faith. But opposition is heating up. A vicious battle of words and will is about to tax Brooke’s commitment to the limit. Only this time, she is determined not to run.
