Book Beginnings, First Line Friday, & Friday 56: Two Believe (Silas McKay #2) by Luana Ehrlich

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two. I'm also linking up with Carrie at Reading is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week I'm featuring Two Believe (Silas McKay #2) by Luana Ehrlich.

About the Book
It was no ordinary robbery. The suspect is no ordinary thief. The investigator is no ordinary detective.
He’s Silas McKay, head of operations for Discreet Corporate Security Systems in Dallas, Texas.

Silas doesn’t usually investigate stolen merchandise, but when his boss asks him to look into a jewelry heist at Gadise Diamonds, a high-end store in the Dallas area, he makes an exception.

When Silas learns this was no ordinary robbery, and the suspect is no ordinary thief, he enlists the help of Ashley Davenport, who’s no ordinary woman.

It was no ordinary robbery . . .

It happened in broad daylight, no weapons were involved, and there were plenty of security cameras present.

The suspect is no ordinary thief . . .

He’s Todd Harriman, a billionaire’s son, who could afford to buy the entire jewelry store, so why would he devise an elaborate plan to steal merchandise from it?

Ashley is no ordinary woman . . .
She’s a wealthy socialite, about to start her own detective agency, and the last person Silas needs in his life right now, especially since he’s still angry at God for the loss of his wife, and Ashley doesn’t believe in God.

As Silas and Ashley work together to confront the guilty party, Silas must confront his feelings about Ashley as well as his anger toward God. Can Silas believe God wants the best for him? Can Ashley find the faith to believe? Can two believe?

Two Believe is an inspiring suspenseful read from USA Today bestselling author, Luana Ehrlich, and Book II in the Silas McKay Suspense Series, a character-driven, emotion-packed series featuring Silas McKay, a corporate security investigator who’s not afraid to take risks, but who’s a little skittish about making changes.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
The last thing I wanted to do this Monday morning was drive an extra twenty minutes in Dallas rush hour traffic.

Friday 56
As we walked across the parking lot, I reminded Ashley there were security cameras in the lobby of the building, and even though I didn't think they were monitored, we needed to look like we were residents.

  2. The opening quote doesn't really let us know very much, right?!

  3. I used to work in Dallas. I can relate to that first line. Nobody wants an extra 20 minutes in traffic.

    Come see my first line!

    I'm currently reading In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer.
    "The rain had not let up by Friday afternoon, keeping everyone indoors and canceling a garden party I had planned to attend."
    Have a great weekend. Happy reading!!!
