About the Book
Title: Beyond the Gray Mountains Series: Big Sky Amish #1
Author: Tricia Goyer
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: February 28, 2023
Genre: Christian Contemporary Amish Romance
Marianna Sommer always dreamed of a simple Amish wedding, but there’s nothing simple about marrying rock star Ben Stone. She loves him—but what about her traditions? Worse, suddenly Ben has questions—the kind that have him putting their wedding on hold.
Ben loves Marianna, but he has regrets—and fears—that are suddenly getting in the way of his happy ending. He doubts he’s going to “hear from God” in the high mountains like Marianna’s father suggests. But sure, he’ll go…
But he might not return. Because high on the continental divide, trouble finds them. Now, it’ll take a miracle for Ben, Abe, and Abe’s brother, Ike, to make it down alive. Maybe Ben will hear from God after all…but if he does, can he become the man he needs to be to save them…and keep Marianna’s heart?
When a runaway horse with a bloody saddle shows up, not only is the media alerted, but Marianna fears she’ll lose them all—her uncle, her father, and her beloved Ben. Suddenly she doesn’t care what the wedding looks like…as long as Ben makes it home.
But is there more to Ben than she knows? And when she discovers his secrets, what sacrifices will she make to save…and marry…the man she loves?
Fall in love with the first book in the cherished Big Sky Amish Collection.
EXCERPT
Ben couldn’t help himself. He’d been gone for weeks and missed Marianna
like crazy. He stood on the dirt road outside her family’s house. It was a new
moon, which wasn’t visible in the night sky. Instead, the stars sparkled like
fistfuls of diamonds tossed on a black velvet fabric.
Shifting from side to side and kicking up dirt and gravel from the road,
Ben contemplated if he should sneak to her window just to see her beautiful
face, even for ten minutes. The house looked quiet, and he guessed that the
rest of her family had already fallen asleep. But didn’t she say she often
stayed up to read or write in her journal? Seeing the joy on her face was worth
the risk when she realized he’d come home a day early.
He slowly walked toward the house by the light from his cell phone,
realizing for the first time how loud walking on pine cones could be. Ben
strained to see if there was any sign of lantern or candlelight—evidence that
she was awake. Hopefully, Trapper wouldn’t hear him and bark, waking everyone
up.
Step by step, he made his way to the side of the house toward her
downstairs bedroom window. He felt like a teenager again, parking his truck
down the road to sneak into his girlfriend’s house. Yet this wasn’t just a
girlfriend. This was his fiancée, soon to be his wife. His smile widened even
as he hunched down under the window. He was about to reach his hand to tap on
the window, but his cell phone chimed its familiar tune. Ben jumped and stood
erect. He’d forgotten to put his phone on silent, and at the moment, the
chiming sounded as loud as a shotgun going off in the night.
Ben quickly shut off the ringing and stood as still as possible.
“Marianna.” His voice was just louder than a whisper, but even through
the closed curtains he could see no light was on. She must be fast asleep.
Trapper too. He tapped the window as softly as he could. No response.
He considered
tapping louder, but Ben knew that would wake Trapper. He’d just have to content
himself with seeing Marianna’s beautiful face tonight in his dreams instead of
in person.
