Books like Dark road home by Karen Harper

Brooke Benton, a sharp‑tongued women's lawyer, leaves her high‑profile career to escape a stalker and find safety in the quiet Amish community of Maplecreek. While running a quilt shop, she rubs elbows with the locals—an experience that wounds her worldly sense of belonging. Meanwhile, Daniel Brand returns to his roots after years in the outside world, believing that a respectful Amish wife will complete his life. When a mysterious hit‑and‑run shatters the town’s peace by killing four teenage Amish members, Brooke feels the threat is personal and mounts an investigation to protect her new home. Daniel joins her in pursuit of the perpetrators, and their partnership takes them to the neon lights of Las Vegas, where the pursuit of justice turns into a romance that challenges both their cultural values and personal histories. This novel blends romance, suspense, and Amish culture with a strong female lead in a legal thriller setting.
