| Camey is a bounty hunter who happens to be very good at her job, but when the woman who is like a mother to her asks her to find her son, Camey can't help but grant her dying wish. She goes into the Amish country to find the lost son and soon realizes that he is wanted for murder. Both he and his mother deny the charge, but Camey has a hard time believing it. She agrees to let him stay with his mother until her death and then she has to do her job. The strong attraction between them may be her down fall; will she be able to turn him in?
Liam has been hiding in his grandfather's Amish community for ten years for a murder he didn't commit. When Camey shows up and informs him that his mother is dying, he knows he must go to her, but it is at the risk of being caught. Then he realizes Camey knows who he is and what he's wanted for and convinces her to give him some time. What he doesn't know is that danger is lurking in the shadows waiting to strike. He knows from the instant attraction between them that something special is happening, but can he use their budding relationship to convince her of his innocence? This is an awesome book and I read it in one sitting, I couldn't put it down until the end. At first you think Liam is your typical Amish man, but you soon find out that he is totally different. His sensitive soul and passionate nature will captivate you. Camey has a hard time choosing between doing what right legally and what's right morally. The story of course has its bevy of villains and you won't lack for action in this story. Titania Ladley did a wonderful job detailing the aspects of Amish life and the conflicts that one can have trying to live between two worlds. I highly recommend this book for readers who love a good love story with plenty of obstacles and conflict.
