If the walls of Stockwell Mansion could talk…

We’d say good riddance to that curmudgeon Caine Stockwell. He’s thrown his last crystal vase against us, that’s for sure! When Caine was alive he did nothing but make piles of money and mountains of mischief. And it’s beginning to look like that money and that mischief are very close cousins…. The Stockwell siblings recently uncovered some damning papers…documents that seem to verify that a Stockwell ancestor bilked his neighbors, the Johnsons, of their valuable land—fine Texas property oozing with black gold! Well, thank goodness the mean gene didn’t pass down to any of this generation of Stockwells. They’re all anxious to discover the truth and set things straight.

And no better man for the job than mercenary Jack Stockwell. He banished himself from his notorious family years ago, but is back for a last call of duty. Under an assumed name, he’s working on Beth Johnson’s storm-ravaged rose farm in order to dig up the dirt on the dirt. Seems Jack can’t quite keep his attention on the ground, however—his mind’s swirling with tantalizing thoughts of Beth!

In the search for their long-lost mother, the Stockwell siblings find a sister, too! But she barely steps foot in Texas when she’s kidnapped—and rescued by a Prince Charming rancher in The Cattleman and the Virgin Heiress, SE #1393, by Jackie Merritt, available May 2001, only from Silhouette Special Edition.
