Synopsis

They burned her barn. Now they want her land. But Salome Zook isn't giving up quietly. After a devastating fire claims her parents' lives, Salome Zook clings to faith and family as she struggles to rebuild her shattered world in the quiet Amish settlement of New Hope. But when whispers of arson begin to stir and shadowy land developers circle like vultures, Salome suspects the blaze was no accident-and that her home is the next target. Levi Stoltzfus returns from Rumspringa just in time to stand beside her. Once a boy from the farm next door, now a man with a fire in his heart, Levi is determined to protect the community he loves-even if it means rallying their peaceful people against an invisible enemy with deep pockets and darker motives. Jesse Graff is that enemy. Or he was. Sent to smooth the way for a corporate takeover, Jesse finds himself torn between loyalty to his powerful employers and the quiet strength of the Amish woman whose land-and heart-he's been sent to claim. As trust is tested, loyalties shift, and buried secrets ignite, Salome must choose who to believe-and how far she'll go to defend her faith, her land, and the man who may yet win her heart. In a world where peace is sacred, how do you fight when the fire comes for you?
