About this listen
Martha, an Amish schoolteacher in Unity, Maine, loves her job and her community. When Jake proposes to her and she turns him down, her stepmother thinks she is foolish.
Whenever she's with Jake, all Martha wants is to be far away from him. She can't put her finger on it, but something about him makes her uneasy.
When Isaiah moves to the community and meets Martha, their friendship sparks into something more. Their relationship causes conflict and turmoil within the community, including rumors that erupt into a roaring flame.
When harsh accusations are made and she is attacked both verbally and physically, Martha must stand up for herself and make a difficult choice.
Will Martha follow her heart or do what her parents expect of her?
This standalone short read is the prequel to Ashley Emma's bestselling Undercover Amish of the bestselling Covert Police Detective Unit Series, but these books can be read out of order.

Story
Detective Olivia Mast would rather run through gunfire than return to her former Amish community in Unity, Maine, where she killed her abusive husband in self-defense and witnessed her family's murder. After an Amish man is murdered, the community will not answer questions from the police, so she begrudgingly dons her old prayer kapp and heads to Unity to investigate the murder undercover. To make things even worse, her captain also orders her to protect the man she dated as a teen: Isaac Troyer, who was attacked on the night of the murder but can't remember the incident.
