About the book

From the publisher

For readers who crave workplace tension, age-gap romance, and fiery chemistry, Heart of Stone is a swoon-worthy story about a fearless PR powerhouse and the grumpy cowboy who can’t resist her.

Eleanor Stewartt built her public relations empire with razor-sharp wit, relentless drive, and a will that refuses to bend. When she’s hired to salvage the reputation of a luxury ranch on the brink of scandal, she walks in ready to take control.

What she doesn’t expect is Colton Stone.

The stubborn, dangerously handsome CEO built his empire on discipline and dominance and has no intention of handing over the reins to anyone. Especially not a bold PR powerhouse who challenges him at every turn.

Forced to work side by side for two months, they clash over strategy, control, and whose vision will win. But beneath the power and heated arguments simmers an undeniable attraction neither of them can ignore.

They’re two people who are used to standing their ground, and now they must decide if love is worth giving up a piece of their hearts of stone.
