Sometimes predators don’t look like what you’d expect.
Sometimes they look like your Amish neighbor.
There is a predator in Unity, Maine, and no one has noticed.
For years, Frank Reihler has blended into the community, dressing and living as an Amish man. He is so familiar and approachable that eight-year-old Cora Kempf trusts him when he offers to let her feed his horse outside Kempf Market.
Former military police officer Camden Reed is only passing through Unity, Maine, with his German Shepherd service dog, Boone. But when he notices a young Amish girl climbing into Frank’s buggy while no one else is watching, he can’t bring himself to leave.
Is Camden seeing danger where none exists...or is he the only one seeing the truth?
Camden has seen what happens when a child is groomed before being taken. Years earlier, his own daughter was kidnapped, and he was unable to save her. He knows predators gain trust patiently, drawing their victims in over time.
Because no crime has been committed, the police cannot intervene. Camden stays in town to work at Kempf Market, feeling responsible for protecting Cora and her identical twin, Tessa, along with the other children in the community.
Adella Kempf blames herself for not noticing Frank befriending her daughters and earning their trust while she runs the family’s busy store. The last thing Adella wants is another outsider turning her world upside down after her husband left her for an Englisher woman. Yet the longer Camden stays, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he protects her daughters as if they were his own.
She struggles to trust him, while Camden fears his growing feelings for her could distract him from keeping Cora and Tessa safe.
As Frank’s behavior escalates, Adella and Camden discover that he may have only been pretending to be Amish for years. He has secretly given Cora handmade gifts for months and can tell the identical twins apart when almost no one else can. Of the two, he targets only Cora.
One night, Boone barks violently at the twins’ bedroom window—something he never does—and Camden finds the back gate open. They suspect Frank was watching the girls, but they have no proof, so the police can't make an arrest.
Then Camden witnesses Frank attempting to coax another young Amish girl into his buggy.
Cora is not his only intended victim.
After Frank attempts to abduct Cora in broad daylight, the family flees, taking desperate measures to protect her.
But safety is only an illusion, and there is nowhere to hide from a predator everyone trusts.
Frank is no longer watching from the outside.
And he won’t stop until he takes what he wants.
A gripping, clean Amish romantic-suspense thriller filled with danger, faith, and a chilling race against evil hiding in plain sight.
