Covert Amish Christmas Release and a Giveaway!

 

On November 1^st, Covert Amish Christmas releases.

I’m excited to introduce you to the first book featuring the Shetler brothers of the West Kootenai Amish community.

Amish widower Aaron Shetler is raising his son in the family business of furniture making. The last thing he expects to see in his workshop is an unconscious woman who is a former CIA agent running for her life from dirty agents who are trying to covert up their crimes.

Victoria Kauffman lost her partner to an attack that was meant to silence both David and her. “It’s our own people.” David’s dying words lead Victoria with the help of Aaron on a quest to uncover what really happened before the men find can silence them along with the truth. 

An excerpt:

ONE She never could sleep. No more than a few hours, anyway. Not since the attack.

Too many uninvited guests roamed around in her head, reminding her of the bad things she’d done in the name of justice...and the distance she’d traveled from her innocent upbringing because of them.

On the kitchen counter, a battery-powered radio played Christmas music. Victoria Kauffman stared out the window at the predawn darkness surrounding her rented cabin. Even though she couldn’t see it now, the snow-covered landscape beyond the black brought back childhood memories of Christmases past. Good memories. Simple ones.

At one time, she’d lived an almost idyllic childhood among the St. Ignatius Amish...until that fateful year soon after her fifth birthday, when she’d lost the woman who meant the whole world to Victoria. Her mother.

One sweet memory in particular snaked out past the garbage in her head. All she could think about was that final Christmas before her mother’s passing. Lately, she found herself longing for that simple way of life more and more. Back before she became a stone-cold killer.

Outside, the darkness moved. In an instant, her deadly past had her firmly in its clutches. She ducked low, her heart peppering out a frantic rhythm. There was no doubt in her mind. The men she’d been hiding from were out there.

A heavy object slammed against the front door, forcing Victoria into action. She grabbed her cell phone and tucked the Glock that once belonged to her partner, David, behind her back. The weapon had been her constant companion this past year. Partly because it reminded her of him, but mostly because it was one of the most accurate weapons she’d ever shot and practically indestructible.

There would be no time to retrieve the metal box containing the precious little evidence she’d hidden underneath the floorboards in the living room.

Someone rattled the back doorknob close to where she stood. Victoria ducked low and skirted past the door. They were moving in for the kill. Her survival was now measured in minutes. If she didn’t come up with a way out that didn’t involve the two main exits, she’d be trapped inside the tiny cabin. She wouldn’t get out alive.
