      An Amish marriage of convenience

      A new North Country Amish novel

      Secretly pregnant and unwed, Gemma Lapp has a difficult choice—face her Amish community or raise her baby alone. But when a storm strands Gemma in the wilderness with her former crush, Jesse Crump, she knows her secret won’t be safe for long. Gemma can’t imagine trusting a man again...until Jesse proposes a marriage of convenience. Could their arrangement lead to love?

      After thirty-five years as a nurse, PATRICIA DAVIDS hung up her stethoscope to become a full-time writer. She enjoys spending her free time visiting her grandchildren, doing some long-overdue yard work and traveling to research her story locations. She resides in Wichita, Kansas. Pat always enjoys hearing from her readers. You can visit her online at patriciadavids.com.

      “What’s wrong, Gemma?” Jesse came around the fireplace.

      She sat up and drew her knees up under her cloak. “Nothing. I’m fine.”

      “You use that word far too often. How can you be fine?”

      “You have a point. I would love a cup of hot tea and a cracker. Any chance that Dale left some in his toolbox?”

      “I’ll check. Chamomile or Earl Grey?”

      Her eyes widened with surprise. “Jesse Crump has a sense of humor.”

      “Don’t look so amazed.” He stoked the fire.

      “I noticed it was snowing again while I was on the porch. Heavily. No one will be able to follow our tracks, will they?”

      “Nope.” At least she understood why help wouldn’t be coming.

      “So, what do we do?”

      “The hardest thing of all in a survival situation. Stay put.”

      Her eyes grew wide. “When you say survival situation, are you telling me that we are in serious trouble?”

      There was a long silence. “Ja. We are.”

      Dear Reader,

      I have once again taken you to Maine in the winter. I’m sorry. I promise a warmer time of the year to explore the beauty of New Covenant in my next book. Summer or spring? I haven’t decided yet. I hope you enjoyed visiting some of the characters from my previous North Country Amish series. I’m always happy to let people catch up on the characters they wanted to know more about. There will be eight books in all set in Maine. I should be able to populate a small Amish community by then. If not, I can always keep going. That’s the joy of my God-given gift. New ideas always pop into my head.

      Blessings to you and yours,
