HEART OF STONE: Stone Creek Legacy
HEART OF STONE
The Stone Creek Legacy, Book 1
He didn't need saving. She didn't ask permission.
Cole Stone has spent ten years holding his family's Montana ranch together with barbed wire and stubbornness. He doesn't need a partner. He doesn't need help. And he definitely doesn't need the sharp-tongued city woman who just inherited half of everything he's bled to protect.
Maya Al-Jamil didn't come to Stone Creek to fall for a grumpy cowboy with more pride than common sense. She came to sell her share and get back to Chicago. But a clause in the will changes six months of co-habitation, or they both lose the land.
Forced under the same roof, they clash over everything—spreadsheets versus sweat, tradition versus innovation, silence versus the truth neither wants to speak. She thinks he's drowning. He thinks she's a distraction he can't afford.
Then the bank calls the note. The impossible math demands a sacrifice. And Maya makes a choice that will either save the ranch or destroy whatever is building between them.
"I love you more than I hate tourists."
When the dust settles, Cole will have to decide what he's really fighting a legacy of stone and silence, or the woman who taught him that some walls are meant to fall.
Heart of Stone is a steamy enemies-to-lovers Western romance featuring a grumpy rancher, a sunshine heroine who refuses to quit, forced proximity, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Book 1 of The Stone Creek Legacy. Each book follows a different Stone brother and can be read as a standalone.

What an awesome read. It jumped right into the heart of the story. Excellent characters that played delightfully off each other. Loved the story line and the subtle love story.

Loved it
This story is wonderful. I absolutely loved the progression of the "Mr. Grumpy" millimeter by millimeter. Miss Sparkle & Sunshine slowly digging her way into his heart. Uncle knew what he was doing!

I’m hooked.
I just finished book 7. Each book has touched me in some way. I’ve cried. I’ve laughed. I’ve rejoiced. I love the characters and I’ve cheered for them as they faced their challenges. I’m downloading book 8 now.
