Stone Patino was once a bad boy, but not since moving to Willow Valley. He left that bad boy life behind years ago. Left it in the underground fighting ring he used to call his home. Now, he lives in the country and works on cars. He prefers the simple life without someone trying to put their fist through his face on a weekly basis. There’s just one thing about that life he misses.

Bowie Blake was once a bad girl too. But now she’s a socialite turned reality TV star who turned her back ten years ago on the love of her life, Stone Patino.

Full of regret and needing help, she seeks out Stone again. She drags Stone back into the ring to fight her battles and save her wheelchair-bound brother. Stone agrees, but must fight through his own demons and his love for Bowie. Both soon learn it’s not easy to fight the same battles they’d already fought and lost so many years ago. But now it’s a fight they both aim to win.

“Stone” is the second in the “Bad Boys of Willow Valley” series from author Shannyn Leah.
