Carved in Stone by Lisa Hughey

Connor Stone has always been odd man out in his family. Not the oldest, not the most charming, he'd had a lock on the youngest until another half-sibling came to live with them, so he raised hell in his youth. Con knows now the only way to redeem himself is with deeds, not words and sets out to prove once and for all he is worthy of the Stone family. When his older brother asks him to take care of business, Con finally will have redemption he craves. Except when Ava Sanchez, his brother's assistant, is threatened, he must choose between saving the girl or protecting his family. Will his choice bring him love or break his heart?

Carved in Stone is the second novella in the Family Stone Romantic Suspense series. This book is intended for readers over the age of 18 who enjoy a love story with romance, action, adventure, exotic locations, former military heroes and kick ass multicultural heroines.
