Under siege in Amish country…

She must fight for their lives.

Gunshots shatter Willa Lambright’s placid Montana evening—and that’s before she discovers on-the-run lawman Mason Shetler on her doorstep. Willa hadn’t glimpsed her childhood friend since he’d turned his back on Amish country years before. Now the US marshal’s returned with an injured partner, a young witness he must protect at all costs…and vicious Mafia agents dead set on making sure none of them survive.

BOOK EXCERPT

Right now, Samantha remained their only witness to bring down one of the biggest weapons smugglers operating in Montana. Mason hated that so much rested on the child’s tiny shoulders, but up until this point, Bartelli had been like Teflon.

Though Bartelli was currently in custody and awaiting trial in Helena, they had to be careful. None of the previous charges brought against the man had stuck because he was good at making witnesses disappear. Mason wanted to change that. For Samantha.

“How’s Benny holding up?” he asked, referring to the stuffed bear in Samantha’s arms.

“He’s kind of sleepy, Mr. Mason, like me. But I think he’s okay.”

“Well, if either you or Benny want to close your eyes for a bit and get some sleep, you go right ahead.” 

It broke his heart that this little girl probably hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep since she’d watched her parents’ murder. 

“We’ve got company.” Beside him, Erik straightened his six-foot-six frame and kept his voice low enough so Samantha wouldn’t hear. His full attention focused on the side mirror. Mason discreetly glanced behind them through the rear view mirror. A set of headlights appeared in the distance.
