HEART OF STONE: Stone Creek Legacy

Cole Stone has spent ten years managing his family's Montana ranch alone, relying on determination and hard work. When Maya Al-Jamil inherits half the property, he views her as an unwelcome complication. Maya came from Chicago intending to sell her share and leave, but a clause in the will requires them to live together for six months or both lose the land. Forced to share a home, Cole and Maya disagree on nearly everything—from business strategy to how the ranch should operate. Cole sees Maya as a distraction; Maya believes Cole is struggling and needs to change. When the bank calls in a loan, the situation becomes critical, and Maya makes a decision that could either save the ranch or damage their growing connection. Heart of Stone is the first book in The Stone Creek Legacy series. Each book in the series follows a different Stone brother and can be read independently. The novel features a rancher and a woman from the city, forced proximity, and a romantic resolution.
