The Amish Cowboy's Christmas: An Amish girl next door prequel novella
About this ebook
In the beginning, there was no Circle M ranch. Thirty years ago, there was only the Amish girl next door and the boy who was too shy to tell her he loved her ...
December marks one of the hardest winters the Miller family has seen in the few years they’ve been ranching in Montana. But for Reuben, the middle son, there are blessings, too. His sister is marrying a good man and she’s chosen their neighbor and Reuben’s childhood friend Naomi Glick as a bridesmaid. Reuben has hopes of courting Naomi himself once he’s baptized. The problem is, Naomi’s distant cousin Roy, who has been working on the Glick place since spring, is also sweet on her. And his sister is convinced they will make a match.
When Naomi announces her plans to go along with Roy and the newlywed couple on their honeymoon visit to Lancaster County, Reuben realizes his time has run out. Showing Naomi he’s the right man for her will take all the courage and love in his heart—and maybe even a Christmas miracle…
“The first thing I loved about this story from Adina Senft is that it’s set in Montana—we don’t get many Amish stories set on the Western side of the US, so it was fun to shift gears from farming to ranching. The Montana landscape in winter is an added bonus! I also loved that this is a prequel to her Montana Millers series, the origin story, if you will, of the Circle M Ranch and the love story that accompanies it. This story is a girl-next-door romance with layered characters and an overall sweetness to the tone that warms the heart.” —Carrie Schmidt, Reading Is My Superpower
