Plain Haven Susan Lantz Simpson

Lilly Brandt was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now she is running for her life-straight into a small, obscure Amish community in Southern Maryland. Now as Hannah Kurtz, she knows she won't be staying in Cherry Hill long enough to form any attachments, but she hadn't counted on meeting and being attracted to the kind, young man with the amazing blue eyes. Jacob Beiler, a skilled young furniture maker, has made a vow of his own. After being jilted by the girl he trusted right before he was about to propose, he decides to focus strictly on honing his craft and guarding his heart from any future injury. When Hannah Kurtz enters his world, she drops into his mending heart as well. Against his better judgement, he allows himself to care again and to trust another woman. When the Amish community discovers Hannah is not really Amish and that she is not even Hannah Kurtz, Jacob feels betrayed yet again. Will he be able to forgive Hannah's necessary deception, or will he walk away from love forever?
