A marriage in name only. A secret past. Can love be found amid the tangle of distrust and betrayal? Alone and pregnant with twins, Amber Wilson has only a fuzzy memory of how she got that way. One thing she knows for sure-no man will ever get near enough to hurt her again. But when she meets Stone Brandon, the attraction is too great to ignore. Stone's ex-fiancée's betrayal has hardened his heart. Though he is drawn to Amber, he knows he can never fall in love again. Still, with her help, the dreams he has for the expansion of his family's ranch can become a reality. A platonic marriage seems like the logical answer for both of them-until he realizes that a marriage in name only with Amber is a hell of his own making.
Sandra Kay was born in Corcoran, a small farming community in the San Joaquin Valley in central California. In fact, she was born on the farm her parents owned. Soon after, the family moved to the Whitney, Texas area--another small town. Most of her memories of growing up, however, are in Long Beach, CA.
Sandra's father passed away when she was eight years old, so the family was reduced to her mother and two sisters. The four of them lived in a small apartment in Long Beach until the three daughters married. Sandra's mother passed away in 2005.
Married to a wonderful man, Sandra has two daughters, a wonderful step-son, and seven grandchildren. Life is hectic, but blessed.
Now living in Orange County, CA, Sandra is retired after working twenty-three years in an office environment. Her second career is writing. Often she wonders why she didn't pursue this passion earlier in life. Sandra always concocted stories in her mind. As a child, her stories were innocent fairy tales. As a teenager, they were full of youthful angst and puppy love. Now, Sandra writes contemporary romance.
Sandra attended Creative Writing classes at Fullerton JC, became a member of the Orange County Chapter, Romance Writer's of America in 2000, where she served on the Board of Directors for three years. She sold her first novel in 2007. Heart of Stone has won many tributes, some of which are:
