Amish Hidden Agenda (Book One - Amish Expeditions Series)
How will Kathryn prove that she didn’t murder her abusive alcoholic husband?
Kathryn Dawson is pregnant and loyal to her Amish faith, but haunted by the man that her unborn child will call father, the man she has been forced to accept as her husband. Fred is a drunkard and gambler, and their lives is filled with the violence and neglect that he offers to their marriage. After making a promise that he has no way to fulfill, his alcoholism and gambling finally come back to haunt him in the most brutal of ways, and Kathryn is the one to find his bloody body.
Now she’s accused of a crime that she didn’t commit, one that she couldn’t have committed, since she wasn’t even there when it happened. Knowing that no one will trust her or believe her until she clears her name, she sets out to find the man who murdered her husband, armed only with a list of suspect names. Along the way she makes a friend…but has no idea how much he will come to mean to her when her back is literally against a wall.
“I don’t have any money. Let me go.†She fought in his arms, but he only threw her back against the wall. Only then did she realize that it was the adjoining wall to James’ room.
James.
She tapped not twice, but repeatedly.
Help me, James. Please.
Craig laughed. “Who do you think is going to listen?†He launched himself at her once again and Kathryn yelled.
This was the end. After all the hard work she had pulled, this was how it was going to end…
James Owen has sworn off women forever after the love of his life left him and their daughter Lily, promising to raise his daughter without their lies and deceitful ways. When a runaway horse delivers an unconscious beauty to his property, he is forced to rethink his decision. Now he’s in the middle of her problems, which seem to revolve around the rescue of her kidnapped husband, the story she told him in the very beginning.
Their plan to find the attackers is simple: lose enough money at poker so that the men become blinded by greed, then use Kathryn’s charms to lure them into hotel rooms. After that, getting the truth out of them will be easy for James, who has a foolproof idea. When he learns the truth behind her desperate search, he must decide whether she is just another lying female…or whether she had a right not to trust him.
Will Kathryn find the man responsible for her husband’s death and clear her name? Should she tell James the truth about her frantic search?
Can James trust the beautiful and pregnant Amish widow or should he walk away while he still has a chance? Does her love for his daughter have a chance to be real—or is it just another ploy to gain his affection?
