Is it a teen prank or a misguided attempt to heal a broken heart?
“Hi! I’m Dr. Dream, and I’m probably the hottest guy you’ll ever meet. I have silver hair, but I’m young at heart. I have lots of fans, but I’m looking for my Number One. Is it you, younger guy? Hit me up!”

ER Deputy Chief Stone Dooley gets the surprise of his life when he learns his twin daughters have signed him up for a gay dating site without his knowledge, three years after he becomes a widower.

What is supposed to be a quick drink and an apology for his daughters’ prank turns into a tentative friendship and an agreement to swap services—Stone will take care of the younger man’s ailing grandfather, if the younger guy will help out with childcare for his daughters over the summer.

Twists and turns test their blossoming friendship. Grief, loss, secrets, and a threat to tear his family apart test Stone’s limits to his breaking point.

What is the key to weathering the storms heading in Stone’s direction? Maybe a blond-haired young man with jade green eyes can crack the Heart of Stone?

Heart of Stone, a May-December Hearts book, is another romantic story in the May-December Hearts collection. If you like an easy to read and funny tale with some deep and serious emotions and relationships, you’ll enjoy this series.

About the Author

I’m Sam E. Kraemer and I grew up in the rural Midwest before moving to the East Coast with a dashing young man who swept me off my feet, and we’ve now settled in the desert of Nevada. I write M/M contemporary romance, subgenres: sweet, low angst, age-gap, cowboys, mysteries, and military/mercenary to name a few. I am a firm believer that “Love is Love” regardless of how it presents itself, and I’m a staunch ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I have a loving, supportive family, and I feel blessed by the universe and thankful every day for all I have been given. I’m old enough to know how to have fun, but too old to care what others think about my definition of a good time. In my heart and soul, I believe I hit the cosmic jackpot. Cheers!
