Peace : A Crittenden County Christmas Novella
$15.99Add to cartBeth Miller has a secret. Ever since she met Englischer Chris Ellis while helping out at the Yellow Bird Inn, she can’t stop thinking about him. She knows nothing could ever come of a relationship, of course-Chris had revealed he was working undercover in Crittenden County with his job as a DEA agent. That meant he faced danger daily, carried a gun, and was completely unsuitable for an Amish woman like herself.
But she knew he felt the attraction, too. It was the reason he had left so suddenly, telling her he’d never see her again. Nothing good could ever come from a romance between the two of them.
Then, three days before Christmas, as Beth is once again filling in at the Yellow Bird Inn, Chris shows up on the doorstop, bleeding. And as Beth cares for him, it’s clear that a relationship between the two of them is inevitable. But are they ready to sacrifice everything for this chance at love?
