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.
He blends in, dressed up in Amish clothing, and is so approachable that children like six-year-old Cora Kempf trust him when he offers to let her feed his horse outside Kempf Market.
Former military police officer Camden Reed was only passing through Unity, Maine when he notices something that feels wrong—a little Amish girl standing beside a buggy, smiling and talking to a stranger while no one else notices.
In a busy Amish market filled with tourists, families, and familiar faces, nothing about the moment appears dangerous to anyone else.
Camden only has a feeling, and feelings are not proof.
He has seen what happens when a child is taken. Years earlier, his own daughter was kidnapped, and he was unable to save her. He knows predators gain trust patiently and subtly, drawing victims in over time.
Because no crime has been committed, the police cannot do anything, so Camden stays in town to work at the store, feeling responsible for protecting Cora and her identical twin, Tessa, along with the other children in the community.
Then small details begin surfacing.
Tiny gifts the man has given the twins. A horse named Gideon. This man who somehow knows Cora and Tessa's personalities so well that he can tell the identical twins apart when most people cannot.
Adella Kempf blames herself for not noticing the unnamed man 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 he is worried his growing feelings for her will distract him, so they focus on keeping Cora and Tessa safe.
As more clues are discovered, they realize this strange man may not be Amish at all, and he may have been watching them much longer than they thought.
He tells the girls to call him "Mister." No last name. Just Mister. He blends in with the other Amish men like a chameleon so well that Camden can't tell which of them is the imposter and predator.
Is Camden seeing danger where none exists...or is he the only one seeing the truth?
Because if he is right, this predator is no longer watching from the outside. This man has integrated himself into their lives, hiding in plain sight. As he becomes bolder, he doesn't stop at talking to Cora outside the store. He adapts.
This predator brings the danger inside their store--and even into their home.
And he won’t be waiting much longer to take what he wants.
A gripping, clean Amish romantic suspense thriller filled with danger, faith, and a chilling race against evil hiding in plain sight.
