Books like The Stone Princess by Robyn Donald

Petra Fleming’s life takes a hard turn when a misunderstanding ends her marriage to New Zealand businessman Caine Fleming. For eight years Petra has guarded her emotional scars behind a polished mask of sophistication, presenting a calm, unyielding exterior. Caine, still set on rekindling what they once had, finds himself drawn to the hidden woman behind Petra’s stoic demeanor. Determined to unlock her guarded heart, he seeks to transform the notorious ‘Stone Princess’ back into the passionate woman she once was. As Caine’s persistence grows, Petra’s tough exterior is gradually challenged, forcing her to confront the wounds that have kept her from loving again. While Petra struggles to reconcile her pain with the desire for a shared future, Caine must decide how far he is willing to go to get beneath the surface, risking further heartbreak or finding a new possibility for both of them.
