An assassin’s loose in Amish
country…
and she’s not the only target.
When a radio broadcast describes taxi driver Lily

Narrowly escaping, Lily accepts Matthias Overholt’s offer to hide at his Amish
family farm for Christmas—until evidence reveals the gunman’s plan is tied to
Lily’s past. Now to prevent an assassination, Lily and Matthias must unravel a
years-old conspiracy…and evade a sniper who has them in his sights.
