New Release: A Rancher's Vow

Writing this final book in the Stones of Heart Falls series was bittersweet. Following the family from a rough beginning, when they were on the verge of losing everything, to now when they have to deal with the fallout of having money…

The contrasts are big, but what’s the same is even bigger. The Stones are there for each other.

And now it’s Dustin’s turn to not only give but be given to. Charity is not only the perfect person to see Dustin but the one to want to be seen by him on a deeper, more intimate level. Someone to laugh with, and learn with, and care for.

A Rancher’s Vow. Book 5 in the series, book 16 chronologically in the Heart Falls world. There’s more to come in the future, but for now, there’s this story.

Their story. I hope you enjoy.

A Rancher's Vow

Ten billionaire cowboy bachelors you need to meet! #SilverStoneStud

Do what’s right, no matter what, is a lesson Charity Gruzing learned from her beloved grandma and older sister. Which means although her appreciation for her friend Dustin Stone is high, she knows he’s not for her. She’s barely making ends meet, he’s one of the Heart Falls elite. She works in the Silver Stone office, he’s one of the ranch owners. Friends is the only option.

When a click-bait article names twenty-four-year-old Dustin as one of the country’s “most eligible billionaire bachelors,” it doesn’t take long for the curious and the annoying to arrive at Silver Stone ranch. As the youngest of the Stone siblings, Dustin’s determined to be there for his family the way they’ve always been there for him.

When Dustin offers to get out of Heart Falls to allow the billionaire fever and viral online storm to die down, Charity ends up along for the ride, and friends become friends with benefits. Suddenly she’s his pretend girlfriend, and it’s everything she’s ever dreamed of—only it’s not real. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll get to the end of the deception without her heart being broken.

Except it’s not her heart that’s in danger…

Read an Excerpt:

Charity sat upright on the bed, perfect breasts right there on display. Curves and soft skin and a smirk on her lips.

A pair of his boxers dangled from her fingers. “These are interesting.”

“Tee?”

She eased back into the pillows propped against the headboard and gave the shorts a swing that sent them twirling in a circle. “I dipped into the bag Shim packed you. I was looking for a T-shirt to wear because that’s kind of a comfort thing. I found these.”

Dustin was going to kill his best friend. “I don’t suppose you could just forget you ever saw anything?”

She tilted her head to the side as if considering. “Well, maybe these with the Where’s Waldo theme can slip my memory. But these other ones?” She pulled a second pair from under her pillow and held them up. “These are kind of burned onto my retinas. You may as well put them on.”

The butt and sides of this pair were white and black Holstein spots. The entire triangle of the groin was an enormous cow’s face.

Dustin caught them as she tossed them his direction. “And here I thought for sure he’d have packed the ones that say Stop staring at my dinosaur.”

Her grin was huge as she wiggled up on her knees, briefs abandoned to the side. “Tell me there’s a T. rex on the center panel.” She made a scary dinosaur face but held her arms tucked into her body and wiggled her fingers as if she had teeny-tiny arms.

Dustin laughed as he jumped on the bed, rolled her under him, and smiled down at her. “Sadly, it’s a brontosaurus.”

“Ah. Long and thin, not thick and meaty.”

He dropped to his elbows and pinned her even tighter. “You’ve got a dirty mind, Tee. I love it.”

She took a deep breath, pressing her torso to him, easing her legs open and sighing as his hips settled between her thighs. “You’re distracting me.”

“I am,” he confessed. “Nothing else we can do tonight, except hopefully get a good sleep.”

“I’m on board for that.” She nuzzled her lips to his neck. “Now, I felt the cosmos tip to the right, again. Maybe you should get your cow face over here and do some universe balancing.”

“Maybe I should.”
