Return of the prodigal “Englisher”
After years on the Philadelphia Police Force, Elijah Miller thought he’d left his Amish past behind. But when the murder of a young Amish girl starts to raise suspicions, Eli has no choice but to investigate. He’ll do his duty, even if it means facing the father who won’t speak to him—and the woman who rejected him. Hannah Nolt is just as beautiful as Eli remembers, and this time, running away from his feelings for her is no longer an option. Because Hannah’s in danger, and needs protection only Eli can provide.
I can’t do this. I can’t do this.
“Can it be? Elijah Miller? After all these years?”
“It is.” He struggled to speak. Seeing her after all this time had sucked the air from his lungs. “How are you, Hannah?”
She tilted her head to the side, her grin widening. “How long have you been home? I haven’t heard a word about your visit.”
“I just arrived, actually.” He forced out each word carefully. Painfully.
A buzzing sound zipped through the air between them, and suddenly all of Eli’s wavering uncertainty vanished. It sounded like the crack of a weapon. Eli turned his head to the woods behind him. Was that gunfire?
He dived forward, covering Hannah with his body and forcing her to the ground. Eleven years working the city streets had taught him to react first and think later.
A second buzzing flew over them. A nanosecond later, the front window of the house shattered.
Oh, yeah. That was gunfire.
