He's her only defense…and a frightening temptation.

Rebecca Holt thinks she's doing the right thing when she takes evidence proving her ex–husband is hiding a murder. But after two attempts on her life, she flees with her six–year–old son to rural Missouri, where the pair hide among Amish relatives, dressing “plain.”

County sheriff Daniel Byler was raised Amish, but his protective instincts put him in conflict with his family's beliefs at an early age and he left the faith. Yet this background helps him to recognize Rebecca as someone who is out of place, in danger…and lying to him.
