When sparks fly between a good Amish girl and a hunky member of the
Hollywood elite, even matchmaking innkeepers Esther and Lizzie know
better than to fan the flames.
Evelyn Schrock has dismissed the attempts of every young man in her
small Amish community to court her. She's willing to wait for a suitor
who shares her curiosities about life and faith.
The only reason Jayce Clarkson is in Amish country hefting equipment for
his famous father's movie production company is for the paycheck. The
homestyle cooking at the Peony Inn is a perk though, as is his
friendship with Evelyn Schrock. If Jayce can endure his dad's put-downs
for a month, he'll finally be in a position to make a fresh
start--somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and the
shadow of his checkered past.
To matchmakers Esther and Lizzie, the widowed sisters who operate the
inn, Jayce seems like a good man stuck in a life he doesn't want. But
the boy isn't Amish, and that leaves far too much room for broken
hearts. Despite that, Jayce and Evelyn start to realize that they can't
deny their growing attraction. Any path forward seems impossible, and
they will have to learn what the future will look like when they leave
their fate in Gott's hands.

"This was such a sweet story. I cheered on Evelyn and Jayce the whole
way. Jayce is having issues with his difficult father, who's brought a
Hollywood crew to Amish country to film a scene in a nearby cave. Evelyn
has a strong, supportive family, so she feels for Jayce immediately. As
they grow closer and help each other overcome fears and phobias, they
know this can't last. But God, and two persnickety Amish sisters, Lizzie
and Esther, have other plans. Can a Hollywood boy fall for an Amish girl
and make it work? Find out. Read this delightful, heartwarming story!"
