Secrets in Amish Country… She’d fought her way through eight long years of terror. Now she’s back home amongst her Amish people, yet Rebecca Nissley feels like an outsider. She’s lost so much. Her friends. Time with her Mamm and Daed. The possibility of a future with the man she loves. Deputy Sheriff Sawyer Beiler thought this day would never come. After two young Amish women were murdered, and Rebecca Nissley disappeared while on Rumspringa years earlier, Sawyer believed he’d lost Rebecca for good. With the pain too much to bear, Sawyer left the Amish faith behind and joined the sheriff’s department, determined to find out what happened that summer day long ago. Now Rebecca is back, and Sawyer and his team must race against the clock to stop a madman before he can claim Rebecca again. Can the monster be captured in time? Will there be a second chance for Sawyer and Rebecca after the nightmare she’s survived or has too much time passed for them to claim a happy ending.
