Return to Silver Stone, where the legacy of love is ready to bloom again.

**A standalone contemporary romance novel**

Ginny Stone wants to be a vital part of her family’s ranching success, but nothing is the same as it was three years ago, and now she’s not sure where she fits in. To add to her troubles, her big brother’s best friend has shown up—the sexy lover Ginny’s been keeping secret for years.

 

During idyllic childhood summers, Tucker Stewart visited with his uncle, made friends with the Stone children, and slowly learned how to become a valuable part of Silver Stone ranch. Tragedy derailed his plans once, but when his uncle hints at retirement, Tucker’s opportunity to take over as foreman is suddenly back on the table. Which means finally getting a chance at forever with the seductive and elusive Ginny as well.

 

With both Tucker and Ginny feeling the need to show their worth, it’s only natural they team up. Operation Prove It is now in play, and the stakes are more than a paycheque. Nothing less than their hearts are on the line.

Ratings and reviews

Audiobook Review: Overall 5 Performance 5 Story 5 Wow, this story had all of my emotions engaged right from the start. The prologue went back 22 years to give us the background we needed for the rest of the book. Tucker and Ginny get their HEA but the Stone family goes through some challenging times first. The sexy time between them is really hot but overall, I just loved how much this story was about family. The story touched me so much that by the end I was crying happy tears.

I sit her with happy and emotional tears in my eyes after finishing this book, no, this story about people I have to come care about and love. That is what this authour does amazingly, she makes her characters alive for you, with every thought, moment, expression, and feeling. The simple phrases between two best friends-became-sisters, “I love you Truth, I love you Dare”, to a memory of a man who stepped up into a young boy’s life, giving him love and guidance when he had none at home. To a mother’s love from the beyond, setting up a moment she expected to be there for, but never had a chance to fulfil. But those are moments that shape and shaped our couple, and made them part of something bigger. It wasn’t expected they would be together, teenage girls don’t often end up with their crushes, but the time was right. Timing wasn’t quite there on everything, but on enough things for these two to take a chance. It developed, it grew, and they went along with it until all the moments added up and they became each other’s current and future. Ginny’s home, and so is Tucker, and they are both where they want to be, together, and in each other’s arms and deeply in love <3

Love the prove it concept and this couple is up to the challenge and more than willing to put their best foot forward. They have established chemistry (page melting) and testing the waters for something more is an agreeable and entertaining addition to their relationship. Very emotional and romantic story with verbal and physical confirmations. Love the firm foundation of family love that is also depicted, family life is never perfect so they have their issues but they love without the drama. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to read and leave a review.
