Season of the Witch by Eli Easton

This story is set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but it features a new couple and can be read as a stand-alone in the Men of Lancaster County series.

Elijah fled his grandfather’s house one fateful night, choosing to leave the Amish order rather than submit to the old man’s commands. He finds refuge at Pig bottom Farm, a rescue run by a fellow ex-Amish, Samuel, and his husband. Elijah prays Samuel never finds out who he really is–a braucher, or practitioner of Amish folk magic, and grandson of the most powerful braucher in Lancaster County. Such practice is forbidden among the Amish, and Samuel would surely want nothing to do with him.
Jon has been a farmhand at Pig Bottom Farm for two years, ever since he left his home in Louisiana and the tragedy that happened there. He doesn’t like people, and he resents having a homeless nineteen-year-old hanging around, no matter how beguiling and mysterious the ‘kid’ may be. When Jon begins to find signs around the farm that remind him of the folk magic he grew up with, he knows Elijah is not the innocent farm boy he pretends to be.
Elijah left the Amish, but he can’t escape the spiritual gifts that are in his blood. Some will want to use his power, some will fear it, and one will be compelled to love and protect him. When bad brauchers come, Elijah must risk everything to save the family that cast him out.

This story features faith healing, Amish folk magic, a feisty Cajun farmhand, lots of pigs and other rescued farm animals, enemies-to-lovers, found family, fate, and a happily ever after.
