Amish Alliance (Covert Police Detectives Unit #9)

Detective Theo Kingsley never thought he'd never find love again after his wife was killed in a hit-and-run in New York City.

Ava Sullivan left the Amish to become a writer after her family locked her up in their basement for years--all because she witnessed her father attempting murder. Once she is finally free, she moves to New York City with big plans of going to college and getting published--instead, she is tricked and lured into forced prostitution with the false promises of getting a publishing contract.

Once she gets out and testifies against the criminals in court who stole two years of her life, she decides to go back to Unity, Maine to see her friends from childhood--but she keeps hearing the voice of her pimp threatening to track her down and kill her for testifying against him if he ever gets out of prison.

While she's in Unity, Detective Theo Kingsley stops by to visit and check on the Amish families who were victims of the trafficking kidnappings he investigated not long ago. When he meets Ava while visiting the Kulp family, he is instantly drawn to her.

Ava wants to get to know him and let him into her life, but she is afraid she will never trust any man ever again.
When a threat from her past comes after her, Theo may be the one person who can protect her, if she will let him.
