Carved in Stone (paperback)

Connor Stone has spent a lifetime being the family rebel, the black sheep with something to prove. Not the oldest. Not the most charming. Just the one with the biggest chip on his shoulder.

But Con is done raising hell. He's ready to show his family—once and for all—that he deserves the Stone name. And when his older brother offers him a chance at redemption, Con jumps at it without question.

One mission. One chance to make things right.

Until Ava Sanchez walks into his life with her fierce determination and eyes that see right through his carefully constructed walls.

When danger follows her into his world, Con faces an impossible choice: protect the woman who's becoming his everything or fulfill the promise that could finally earn him his family's respect.

In the shadow of looming threats, two hearts collide in a passion neither expected. But when loyalty and love clash, which will shatter first—his family ties or his guarded heart?
Some stones are meant to be broken. Some hearts are meant to be carved open.
