Caught between who she is…and who she was.
Lauren Nolt hasn’t forgiven the Amish community of Lancaster County for shunning her parents. But returning as a successful Englischer
working for large developers is just what she needs to get a promotion
and give her parents the life they deserve. Coming face-to-face with her
childhood bully, Amish widower Adam Hershberger, is the last thing she
wants. Yet when her world’s shaken by a shocking discovery, Adam’s the
only one she can confide in…
Adam’s never forgiven himself for
the part he played in Lauren’s past, nor what drove him to do it. But as
developers threaten his great-grossdawdi’s farm, she’s the
only one who can help. And with his little girl determined to bring him
and Lauren together at every turn, keeping his distance is impossible.
Now they must learn to trust each other—even as their secret feelings
grow stronger. But is love enough to bridge the gap between their very
different worlds?

My Review
I enjoyed this story, it is really about forgiveness, and there are a lot of surprises that unfold.
Can you go home again? Well, with circumstances from her job and raging snow and ice storm, and a big pot hole, end up bringing Lauren Holt home! To make matters worse her worst nemesis comes to her rescue.
Adam Hershberger a single father raising a four year old daughter, taking care of his aging Great Grandfather, and helping with his orphaned teenage cousins. He also has a small engine repair, and works part time at an auto repair, along with becoming a fire fighter. Talking of fires, there has been an abnormal amount of them lately.
Come and see the love and surprises that open up here. Including where Lauren ends up staying! How Adams’s daughter winds everyone around her thumb, and how Adam deals with all that is on his shoulders.
I am now looking forward to the next book in this series!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
