Amish Princess
(Amish Vows, Bk 2)
Mercy Yoder has been jilted! Just before she was to wed a man she’d known her whole life, he up and left her and their life for the Englischer world. At her parents’ insistence, she leaves home for a stay with her Onkle in a different Amish community, While in there, Mercy meets furniture builder Isaac Miller and comes to know his brother’s wife, Kate Miller. Unbeknownst to Mercy, however, Isaac uttered the words that sent her former fiancé running away to prove himself in the Englischer world. Isaac is drawn to blue-eyed Mercy, but he writhes, praying to Gott about his own guilt in her disgrace. To further complicate matters, Mercy asks Isaac’s assistance in avoiding her Onkle Yoder’s unwelcomed matchmaking. At her request, he assumes the pretense of courting her...and in the process of their outings, Isaac falls in love with the one woman from which he should stay away. Although conflicted, he asks Mercy to abandon the pretense and actually court with him. She’s afraid, knowing a furniture magnate wants to tempt Isaac to work for him in the Englischer world. Mercy could have another Mann leave her for that world, but she’s grown to love Isaac and agrees to marry him.
When Daniel—the Mann she was to marry initially—reappears trying to tempt Mercy to come with him into a different life, she learns Isaac’s secret. Can Mercy forgive him and accept his love?
