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 everything: 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 for: 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.
