Stones of Heart Falls

Caleb Stone is wearing too many hats and it's making him crankier than usual. He's a cowboy, a father, and the head of his large family-and has been since tragedy claimed his parents over ten years ago. The ranch is struggling, but it's the title of single dad that's got him tangled up in knots. He needs a full-time, live-in nanny at the Silver Stone homestead in Heart Falls, Alberta, to help with his two little girls, but the woman about to arrive on his doorstep? Tantalizing, tempting, and trouble with capital T's. Tamara Coleman doesn't regret the choices that led to losing her job, but she definitely needs a fresh start. When a friend recommends her for a nanny position in a new town, she swears this time it'll be different. No more acting on impulse-except sexy, gruff Caleb is exactly the kind of man who pushes all her buttons. And what's more, it's so much fun to push his in return. Sparks fly between Tamara and her gorgeous boss, but she can't risk her position, and he doesn't dare risk his heart. With two people fighting their true natures, something's going to give. Luckily, there's more than one way to capture a rancher's heart.

Ivy Field's heart nearly broke when she left Heart Falls, but her high school sweetheart insisted she follow-through on her dream of becoming a teacher. She thought that meant putting their relationship on hold briefly, but it's taken eleven years to return. Now she's back, no longer a painfully shy young girl but a confident woman who knows exactly what and who she wants-a home and a family-with too-sexy-for-his-boots Walker Stone. He was her first; she wants him to be her last. Walker "Dynamite" Stone was still reeling from his parent's unexpected death when Ivy left. He let her go, throwing himself into work on the Silver Stone ranch and dangerous living on the rodeo circuit. But lately Walker's adrenaline junkie ways have crashed-he's having panic attacks. Potentially devastating to his budding music career, they're a deadly handicap when shooting for eight seconds aboard an angry bull. He needs to learn to face his fears to save the family fortunes. If he succeeds, this time Walker will be the one to leave Heart Falls, and Ivy, behind. Will Ivy and Walker have to give up on forever, or can they turn this rancher's song into a winning duet?
