In this poignant new series, Patricia Johns introduces an Amish family striving to reclaim the promise of love, marriage, and community after a shocking change in circumstance. Her sensitive storytelling and realistically flawed, yet endearing characters bring depth and heart to this tender story about faith and second chances, as a young man and woman. The Amish residents of Bountiful, Pennsylvania, are stunned when preacher Abe Yoder is imprisoned for fraud. For Abe's son, Isaiah, the news cuts doubly deep. His daet's misdeeds have cost Isaiah his family's land and their good name. To support his sisters, he takes a job in the Glick family's book-binding shop, though it means working alongside a woman who has every reason to resent him. Yet, his attraction to Bethany Glick's beauty and warmth is undimmed... Isaiah's daet's actions helped drive Bethany's fiancé to the Englischer world, and cost her own father his savings. Their shop is in need of Isaiah's brawn and skill, but if she's to start over after heartbreak, she needs a man she can trust. Not a Yoder. But Isaiah isn't giving up so easily. And when Bethany faces a dilemma, there may be a way for each to find not just redemption, but a joyful new love...

"Arise, my Luna." I looked down at the ground, slowly rising to my feet while holding my breath. "My name is Clair, Alpha Aeon," I answered respectfully. But I refused to look at him. Frustration rolled out from his aura before it changed into anger. I swallowed hard as bile threatened to rise from my throat. "Have I done anything to despise you?" His hand snaked around the back of my neck as he took one more step. He leaned closer, his breath touching the skin of my neck. "My wolf is so close to marking you, Clair. I can assure you it'll be painful. I'm the only one standing in the way for him. Submit! And we'll make it less painful." He moved his hand to my jaw, forcing me to look at him. "Look at me, you'll be mine! All others before me will be forgotten. Understood?"I closed my eyes, letting the tears I've held fall from my eyes. I was losing this battle. I took a deep breath, ready to bob my head when a ferocious growl marred the air, shaking the ground. "I dare you to touch what's MINE!!!" I snapped my eyes open, turning in the direction of the threat. He's here. He came for me. My Alpha came for me. ¨¨¨¨¨¨ ALPHA JACOB GALHART of the Black Shadow Pack never wanted a mate.

But would he be able to let her go?

When my dad called to lecture me about how it’s time to settle down, quit partying, and get a job that will actually prepare me for life after college, I agreed. Mostly. After spring break, I’ll buckle down and be ready to work, but until then, I’m getting my fill of fun. Which is why when I spot an attractive man sitting alone at a bar, I approach him with the hopes of being able to tempt him into a night full of pleasure. After all, being with an older guy is just about the only thing I haven’t done. When I wake up in his bed with a note that makes it clear he doesn’t intend on seeing me again, I take it in stride. But when I show up to the job my dad set up for me, it turns out my new boss, Aleksander Drakos, is the guy who thought he’d be done with me after a one-night stand. On top of that, apparently he’s a friend of my dad’s. Trying to remain professional is pointless. Working with him day after day is just too tempting to not have another taste.
