Texas Heat a Stone Brothers Series

Death is no stranger to the people of Cripple Creek Texas - thirty years ago a young girl was brutally raped and murdered and her body was dumped on the side of road. Those responsible were never brought to justice, until now. Now the past is jerked into the present when Malakai Stone comes home. Malakai Stone, the youngest of seven brothers, could get in more trouble doing nothing than others could if they tried. He was forced to leave town for something he didn’t do when he was seventeen, given a choice between prison or the military. He chose the Navy and within three years he was a SEAL. Malakai left behind his home, his family, and his girl - Liberty. Now he’s coming home and he’s not that young seventeen year old, he’s bigger, he’s meaner - a legally trained killer. No one will keep him from claiming his Liberty, but they’ll try - they damn well will try. Liberty Rawlins was sixteen years old when Malakai left her - angry and with an aching heart. It didn’t matter she knew he wasn’t to blame - the end result was the same - she was alone. Now he’s coming home. Home to more tragedy than he knows. How will she tell him? Will he still want her? Things are not the same - it’s been five years.
