Well, it’s official—Mary Alford is a must-read author. She knows how to do suspense right. Having already read another book of hers, I know to expect the unexpected, so I keep guessing throughout the entire story: “Is it this person? Is it that person?” I couldn’t have been more wrong. The ending is shocking. And because it’s romantic suspense, I also got the perfect dose of romance woven seamlessly throughout.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions are my own.

To prove her innocence
she’ll have to expose a lethal conspiracy.
A frantic call from her best friend sends district attorney Paige Grayson running right into a trap—and now she’s being framed for her friend’s murder. With the police after her and evidence against her stacking up, she seeks refuge in Amish country—and the help of her first love, Elijah King, to clear her name. To expose the drug dealer setting Paige up, they must work together while evading a ruthless criminal and the police. With threats closing in and time running out, one wrong move could be their last.
My Review and Reflections
The Amish aspect in this one is well-balanced. The community element of the religion is present without detracting from the fact that very dangerous people are after Paige Grayson and Elijah King. Elijah is an atypical Amish main character, in that, although he’s a pacifist, it doesn’t stop him from doing what needs to be done to protect Paige. He makes the best book boyfriend.
If you love suspense, you’ll be immediately immersed in this book. Even those who don’t typically go for Amish romance will enjoy it immensely. As the title suggests, this is more Amish-adjacent. I can’t recommend this book enough.
