Set in Stone is a standard romance about two damaged people, one is a rake with a dark reputation, the other a PTSD'ed girl just getting back into society. Both had to learn that love is not about control, but about trust.
Megan Connelly is finally free, but more lost than ever. Megan went to prison 6 years ago, for killing her tormentor, but she also lost her unborn child that day. Now that she's free, she was unsure of what to do with her life, and only her association with her prison friends that allowed her to live at Second Chance Ranch, and contemplate her life about starting over. It was also where she encountered Killian McKinley, the youngest of the McKinley brothers, who has a dark reputation of being a love-em-and-leave-em man, who may have peculiar sexual tastes... Yet even she cannot deny that Killian attracted her like no other, but Megan's own heart was hardened due to years of abuse, physical and mental, and has no desired to be controlled by anyone, even as she learned her aptitude in horse training. Killian falls for the oddly vulnerable ex-con and was torn between trying to "help" her and letting her go when his heart screamed, "this is the one". But love is about trust and ultimately relinquishment of control. Will both learn their lessons in time?
While the end does involve a "change of heart" both only came about it after slow and deliberate steps instead of a sudden change. However, this book wasn't a suspense romance like book 1. The stakes are slightly lower.
