Everything can change in the blink of an eye. Widower Robert Stone has lost everything—and that’s before the tragic news of his son and daughter-in-law's deaths shatters his world, leaving him five grandchildren to raise on top of running a failing ranch. Overwhelmed and on the verge of selling his legacy, Robert can’t focus on love. Not even if the nanny he’s hired is exactly his type. Love was never on the table for Paige Griffin no matter how much she might have wanted it. Too old to have children of her own, she fills that void via her passion for working with children. Paige brings a warmth and understanding that the children desperately need and, at the same time, softens the heart of this hardened cowboy. While Paige’s nurturing presence begins to heal Robert’s soul and strengthen his resolve to save the ranch, her being there could cost them more than either bargained for. Grab the heartrending prequel in the Cornerstone Ranch series to find out if these two are strong enough to mend this cowboy’s tattered heart.

Traditional ecological approaches to species evolution have frequently studied too few species, relatively small areas, and relatively short time spans. In The Coevolutionary Process, John N. Thompson advances a new conceptual approach to the evolution of species interactions—the geographic mosaic theory of coevolution. Thompson demonstrates how an integrated study of life histories, genetics, and the geographic structure of populations yields a broader understanding of coevolution, or the development of reciprocal adaptations and specializations in interdependent species. Using examples of species interactions from an enormous range of taxa, Thompson examines how and when extreme specialization evolves in interdependent species and how geographic differences in specialization, adaptation, and the outcomes of interactions shape coevolution. Through the geographic mosaic theory, Thompson bridges the gap between the study of specialization and coevolution in local communities and the study of broader patterns seen in comparisons of the phylogenies of interacting species.
