On the Golden Cliffs

N O W  A V A L I A B L E !

Lyla Taylor has built a social media empire around her Ruby Rose brand. Yet, one wrong post causes her carefully constructed world to collapse. With no other options, Lyla agrees to a six-week reset in rural Montana in what she believes will be a high-end spa. Lyla couldn’t have been more wrong. When her first night on the Milner farm is interrupted by unwelcome guests of the raccoon variety, Lyla is ready to throw in the towel and head back to civilization.

Amishman Reuben Milner may crumble if one more thing is added to his to-do list. After the passing of his dat, Reuben stepped up to be the man of the family. Reuben has no time to rest with his mem and four sisters still living at home. Not to mention, his secret career as a novelist isn’t exactly in line with a devoted Amish lifestyle.

Reuben doesn’t see any way out of his double life when the elders start pressuring him to join the church. And while the rental of their dawdy house brings in much-needed funds, it soon becomes evident that their high-maintenance guest will add to his workload and stir up fond affections that Reuben must squash down.

When the Milners need help sprucing up their rental, Lyla is quick to jump in, taking her mind off the problems she left behind. But the more Lyla works on the rental with Reuben, the more she wonders if her former life is worth returning to. Yet is it the simple life that Lyla’s heart longs for or a particular guarded Amishman with secrets of his own?

Praise for On the Golden Cliffs

“Fun, flirty, and full of faith, On The Golden Cliffs is a charming love story of opposites attract with deep, relatable characters you’ll immediately forget are fictional! Old fashioned meets first world problems in this must-read romance.”

– Betsy St. Amant, author of Tacos for Two & The Key To Love.

“Just when you think you’ve read one Amish story you’ve read them all, along comes a fresh voice and a unique storyline that grabs your interest and holds on tight. On the Golden Cliffs is a story not to be missed. A sweet and charming romance that you won’t be able to put down. I loved this story!”

– Laura V. Hilton, The Amish Secret Promise, best-selling author, Forever Books

“Who would imagine a Gothic mystery author would be captivated by a fun, emotionally jerking, Amish story set in Montana? This girl. This girl, right here! Because it IS that captivating, and Christen Krumm takes Amish romance to an entirely new and fresh level in this book. Don’t miss it. As a dark and creepy book writer, I am fully committed to this love story.”

– Jaime Jo Wright, Author of The Premonition at Withers Farm and Christy Award-Winning, The House on Foster Hill
