Love comes to a woman who just needs the faith to accept it in The Protector from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Grey.

Unable to look after her fifty-acres of farmland following her parents’ death, Ella has no choice but to put her family’s land up for auction. Loyal Weaver purchases the farm and immediately begins renovating its buildings, including Ella’s home. Invited to participate in her former property’s makeover, Ella finds herself in Loyal’s presence, offering her opinions and ideas, and enjoying spending time with the man she’s always loved from afar.

But as Ella and Loyal grow closer, her best friend warns her that he’s not the pillar of their Amish community, but someone with mysterious secrets and questionable motives. Now, Ella is torn between her friend’s claims and Loyal’s attentions, wondering if she can trust her own heart.

But what Ella doesn’t know is that Loyal does have a secret. He wants her to be his wife. . .

“Shelley Shepard Gray writes with honesty, tenderness, and depth. Her characters are admirable, richly-layered, and impossible to forget.” —New York Times bestselling author Jillian Hart
