In New York Times Bestselling Author Shelley Shepard Gray’s next book of her Charmed Amish Life series, a young woman finds herself falling for an Amish man from the wrong side of the tracks
Amelia Kinsinger may seem like the perfect Amish woman, but she is harboring a secret: she’s in love with bad boy Simon Hochstetler.
Life hasn’t been kind to Simon. He ran away from an abusive home and landed in prison. Now back in Charm, he’s determined to put his wild past behind him.
But Amelia is off limits. Everyone thinks she’s too good for him, most of all her older brother—who happens to be Simon’s best friend. When a chain of events forces them to face their past mistakes, all their secrets are revealed. Now Simon must dare to trust Amelia, and she must show him that he already is everything she ever wished he could be.
