About this ebook
Naomi and Jacob have been attached at the hip since grade school. Jacob was the town bad boy, always in trouble while she was the good girl bailing him. They were two peas in a pod until the day he disappeared. Shunned by the Amish elders, Jacob was sent away with little explanation. Flash forward years later and Jacob returns to the community. He gets a chance to speak to Naomi and the sparks fly again. They are different now. Older but in a lot of ways still the same. They try to start again where they left off but Naomi struggles with what Jacob may have done and the hurts of the past. Can they overcome what was...for what might be?

Devout In Lancaster An Anthology of Amish Romance - Elaine Anthony
Lancaster City, Pennsylvania, 2017
Rock music blasted off a boombox speaker. A mechanic in blue overalls crouched beside a dismantled motorcycle, the deep thump of the bass rattling the tools littered around him.
—Yoder! Hey, Yoder!
The shout cut through the music and jolted Jacob from his focus. He stretched out an arm and dialled the volume on the boombox down.
Did you hear what I said?
The assistant manager of Jim’s Auto Repair, Pete, stuck his head into Jacob’s work space.
No, sorry,

What is it?
Jacob sat up straight. You’re making me nervous talking like that.
You’re Amish, right?
said Pete.
I was,

There’s some Amish people out there. I think they might be looking for you.

It was a past he’d left behind long ago.
Oh, and uh,
Pete said, there’s a pair of police officers with them.
When Jacob went to meet the strange group standing outside in the hot, dusty yard of Jim’s Auto, the police officers immediately came up to him. Are you Jacob Yoder,
said the taller, older-looking officer, grandson of Benjamin Yoder?
Yes, that’s me.
said Jacob, looking between the officers and the Amish group standing a few feet away. They avoided his
