Tate Colton is an undercover detective for the FBI in
Eden Falls, Pennsylvania. Tate and his 5 other siblings were
adopted by a wonderful man and woman who were killed during
911. None of the siblings are blood related but they could not
be any closer. Their parents have left them self-sufficient
and well off.
Innocent Amish girls have been kidnapped and
sold to the highest bidder. Tate's sister Emma, also an FBI
detective, is engaged to Caleb Troyer, brother of one of the
girls taken for sex trafficking. Tate vows to return
Caleb's sister along with the other girls, 16 to 20 in age,
back to the Amish community.
Posing as a rich client answering the ad which was
clearly selling sex, Tate meets with the middle man for his
first glimpse of "Jade", who he has confirmed is Hannah
Troyer. He bargains with money for the gorgeous redhead who
has obviously been drugged. Whispering things to Hannah
that only her brother could have known, gives her a little
encouragement that he is there to help her. Tate's cover is
revealed by the rich and affluent leader of the ring, Seth
Maddox, the night of the proposed crackdown on the ring.
All hell breaks loose and Tate barely escapes with Hannah in
tow. Unfortunately, Maddox escapes and puts Hannah in
dire danger because of her intimate knowledge of the
operation. With Maddox and his thugs turning the country
upside down to find her, Tate thinks she is safely hidden
away with him. Hannah has fallen in love with Tate and
encourages him to love her back. That is not how Tate wants
his relationship to go with this beautiful Amish woman. He
intends to have her for life, not cheap sex. His plan goes
awry when Hannah is abducted from under his protection.
Desperate to find her before she is killed, a lead finally
takes him where he needs to go but not until after she has
been strangled and Maddox apprehended. With a whisper of
consciousness from Hannah, she is whisked to the hospital
and a vigilant wait keeps Tate by her side. Tate now stands
to lose everything he never dreamed he wanted in life.
Strap in for real excitement and a ride of thrills. The
issue of human trafficking is explicit in COLTON SHOWDOWN. The
ways and life of the gentle Amish community is revealed
through this story and lends a great deal of understanding
into this unique way of life. Marie Ferrarrella has again
given us a tale of terror, excitement and true love. The
Colton siblings are strong and interesting people and I love
the stories of this family. Keep them coming!!
It's supposed to be the final confrontation. Philly
detective Tate Colton will go under cover to bust the sex
trafficking ring targeting young Amish women. He doesn't
count on his sting operation falling apart-or being forced
to escape with the breathtaking key witness he's sworn to
protect.
Hiding in New York City with a handsome detective? Amish
seamstress Hannah Troyer's more than a little out of her
element. The big city-and men like Tate-are part of a world
that's nothing like what she's used to. As danger inches
closer, he's her only route to safety...and a forbidden
attraction she dares to indulge in.
