What if the woman he was taught to despise is the one God wants him to protect?

Yuri Amos has spent years watching his family suffer at the hands of Sitka’s most ruthless businessman, Preston Caldwell. When Yuri discovers that Caldwell’s daughter is hiding secrets, he knows he should walk away. But he can’t.

Because Rosalind isn’t like her father. She’s quiet, intelligent, and far more trapped than anyone realizes.

But the deeper he steps into Rosalind’s world, the more complicated his feelings become, especially when she begins to stir hope for a future neither of them can have. Because once he crosses the line between protector and something more, there’s no turning back.

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a frontier family saga with a slow-burn, forbidden romance, a protector hero, and the kind of love that risks everything for a brighter tomorrow.

Great read

It has been great reading the books about Alaska and the family of Amos’sCan’t wait for the next book. Thankyou

Beautiful

Yuri and Rosalind's story is something else entirely, there is so much happening that seems out of control, however this beautifully written journey is absolutely worth taking, even through the hard parts - God is good!

I love this series!

This book did not disappoint. It along with the others in the series are so well written it’s impossible not to fall in love with the characters. I’m looking forward to the next in the series in July.❤️

A story you will want to read

I've so enjoyed reading Against the Rain, just as I've enjoyed every book Naomi has written in this series. She writes in a way that keeps you interested, you find it hard to put it down. She is fast becoming one of my very favourite author's . I've loved all of her books in various series and look forward to the final book "Beyond the Dawn".

beautiful story

What a horrible father that would treat his own child so abusively. I’m so happy Roslind found Yuri. What a great love story. I’m anxious to see what happens in Alexi’s life.
