      Your heart misleads you.

      That’s what my friends and family say.

      But I love Noah.

      And he loves me.

      We met and fell in love in the sleepy farming community of Meadowview, while we rode our horses together through the grassy fields and in those moments in each other’s arms.

      It should be

      ROSE & NOAH forever, easy.

      But it won’t be.

      Because he’s Amish.

      And I’m not.

      He’s Amish…

      He smiled at me triumphantly, making my heart melt into a puddle, and his thumb swirling in place on my hand sent goose bumps up my arm. Not trusting the feel of his hand over mine, I had to look down and see it with my eyes to make sure that I wasn’t hallucinating the whole thing.

      I couldn’t deny the way Noah made my body feel, that was for sure, but my mind was still struggling with the whole Amish thing. Where on earth could this relationship go?

      But then, I didn’t care what the answer was. I just wanted to enjoy it while it lasted.

      She’s not…

      In the back of my mind, I had hoped spending more time with Rose might dampen my interest in her. After all, it would be much easier if I fell for a pretty Amish girl. Only, it had the opposite effect on me. It would take all my strength to resist Rose now—if I even could.

      I realized I couldn’t say goodbye to her or make plans for a next meeting, with Jacob hovering around and Father marching toward us through the yard. But rebelliousness gripped my soul, and I stole a glance at Rose anyway. My heart raced when her eyes met mine.

      In that instant, I knew she belonged with me.

      But what is forbidden is not so easily forgotten.

      Rose - Preface

      PRESSING MY HEAD to his heart, I listened hard, straining to hear any gurgle or murmur of life. Hearing nothing, I felt the shock settle into my mind, slowing it down and then turning it off.

      “Don’t leave me, Noah. Please, don’t go,” I whispered into the darkness as the light spray of rain touched my face.
