Some hearts are Tough as Stone.

Remmy Watson didn’t just leave home five years ago—she ran. From her family. From her past. From the girl she used to be.

Now she’s built a quiet, hard-earned life as a ranch hand in Montana, where no one knows her. Invisibility means safety. Distance is survival.

Until Cooper Stone notices her.

Cooper lives by three simple rules: work hard, keep your head down, and don’t get involved. Especially not with the redhead with secrets behind her eyes. But Remmy—guarded, stubborn, and mysterious—becomes the one rule he can’t seem to follow.

And when the past Remmy thought she'd left for good comes crashing back into her present, there’s nowhere left to hide.

Dragged back into a life she swore she’d never return to, Remmy must decide whether running is still an option…or if it’s time to stand her ground. But facing old wounds may cost her everything—including the one person who sees the real her.
