Sadie Schrock swore she would never marry. All of her other Amish friends could court and marry—she was content to manage the family business and eventually take it over when her parents are ready to retire. But all of that changes when a reckless driver kills both of her parents and seriously injures her younger sister. With mounting hospital bills adding to the pile of debt her parents left behind, Sadie is left with no choice: she must marry. And not just any man—the man who saw her at her weakest and walked away.

Aden knows what his brother did to Sadie years ago was inexcusable. And every day since that incident, Aden has lived with the guilt for not intervening sooner. When he is faced with the chance to protect Sadie once again, he can’t let her down—even if it means living with the scorn of the woman he loves for the rest of his life.

Working alongside Aden at the store, Sadie realizes he isn’t the same boy who once betrayed her. Just when Sadie starts to let her guard down and perhaps develop feelings for her new husband, dangerous secrets are revealed. Now everything Sadie has worked so hard to protect is threatened, and she must find a way to save her family—and herself.

This was my first Amish novel and I loved it!

I loved the characters in the novel, I felt really sad for Sadie, unmarried when she is of age, her unfortunate encounter with Bishops son, Soh, who is drunk and forces her to kiss him but thank God, Sadie kicks him and then runs. I really felt angry when Aden left and didn't return. I could really feel how Sadie must have felt.

The twist and the marriage of Aden and Sadie was a complete surprise and after I got to know more along with Sadie, the character of Aden, I started to like him and realise why he had done what he had done. I loved how he stood up for Sadie every time, supported her and never burdened her but then she realised it and pushed him to tell her stuff. When Soh came in their house and held Sadie, I was scared that everything might be De javu but I Was very glad when Aden fought him and threw him out of the house.

The plot, the characters, the twists, everything was amazing! Loved it!
