At eighteen, Justine Burkholder wants what most Amish girls do marriage, family, and a quiet life rooted in faith. Suitors are ready to call, but she waits, trusting that God will reveal the right path in His time.
That path shifts when illness strikes. A heart condition forces her to New York City for treatment far from the comfort of her community. Overwhelmed and alone, she's thrust into danger when a thief targets her on the crowded streets. Her rescue comes from an unexpected source: a tall, steady Navy SEAL whose strength and quick thinking pull her to safety.
Drawn to his courage and quiet compassion, Justine begins to question the life she's always pictured. His world is foreign to her long deployments, constant risk, a future as uncertain as the tides. Yet their connection deepens, pressing her to consider a love that doesn't fit within the walls she's always known.
Can an Amish woman and a Navy SEAL find common ground between duty and devotion? Or will distance and difference prove stronger than the pull of their hearts?
