Stone of the Sun

Finding out that she witnessed her own fathers murder is a shock, but when April Cortes receives a letter from the grandmother she hasnt seen since she was five, she knows she must make peace with her past. The mysterious summons to her grandmothers sprawling Arizona ranch is irresistible.

Much to Aprils surprise and delight, Collie Cortes happily relates the familys ancestral history, including the legend of the Stone of the Sun, an ancient and valuable heirloom that was stolen at the time of Aprils fathers death. Collie also confides that someonemaybe someone on the ranchis trying to kill her. April hates to believe its anyone shes growing close to, but she has already lost too much at this ranch and has no intention of letting anything end her new relationship with her grandmother. She will not drop her guardnot even for the handsome Del Spurgeon. If she does, she might not be around to ensure her grandmothers safety.
