Please Welcome Ciana Stone, our AR AUTHOR in the SPOTLIGHT - August 2009


Introduction:  

 

Ciana describes herself as just another country gal.  Born and raised in North Carolina, she found herself uprooted from the Carolina clay seven years ago and transplanted to the sandy soil of Central Florida.  Blissfully married to the man of her dreams, Ciana considers herself the luckiest woman in the world.
She doesn't have a lot to say about herself but will confirm the following:
1.   She loves to play disc golf
2.   She loves animals - except for reptiles which give her a major case of the creeping willies
3.   She's a vegetarian with a serious thing about fresh peaches
4.   She doesn't handle liquor well - tequila does indeed make her clothes fall off
5.   She loves to hear from readers and feels she owes each person who buys one of her books a huge thanks

Synopsis:

Rayne is a mercenary and six feet of blonde bombshell. As clean-up gal for diamond privateers, she’s seen her fair share of ugly deals and violence. And her latest mission promises to be the same. Yet the price of her choices is getting higher. All her life she’s wanted to find a good, strong man, one who would know how to touch her, quench the all-consuming fire and match her sexual energy.

Now that she’s finally found him, she has to hide her true self, lie and cheat. Former special ops soldier Ripley Knight is everything she wants, all that she craves. His demanding hands conquer all her defenses and his mouth—that wicked thing—denude her every secret. No pleasure is beyond his skill and no decadence too great. In exchange, all Rip wants is the one thing she can’t give. Truth.
 
 
  Chase 'n' Ana
 
ISBN: 9781419908378
Available in eBook
 
Synopsis:
Book 1 in the Hot in the Saddle series.

Chase Hawks had a good handle on life. Between his small spread in Arizona, his success on the rodeo circuit and a bevy of beautiful women always available to satisfy his urges, he figured he had control over his life.
Then fate intervened. He ran over a woman. Literally. Hit her with his truck.

Ana Stillwater had no control over her life. She'd skipped out on an abusive husband with three hundred dollars, a car that was on its last legs and a hawk named Fergi. She figured life couldn't get any worse.
Then it did. Her car broke down in Arizona and if that wasn't enough, a truck hit her.

Which brings up the question — just what happens when a rational, down-to-earth rancher hooks up with a quirky new age witch who can give him a hard-on with just a look and likes to dance naked under the moon?
 
 
 Molding Clay
 
ISBN: 9781419910722
Available in eBook
 
Synopsis: 
Book 2 in the Hot in the Saddle series.

Clay Russell had plans. Win the Nationals in bull-riding, then start his own spread breeding horses. Instead his family roped him into leaving Arizona to get a struggling ranch in North Carolina back on its feet.
He didn't expect Rusty Blackhawk to be a woman. Or a witch. The little bundle of dynamite lit his fuse. Keeping his mind on the job and his hands off the saucy little Rusty was taking all his control, and then some.

Rusty had no choice but to take the Russells' offer and partner up with them. She wasn't expecting to like Clay Russell. But it was mighty hard to ignore the tall, handsome cowboy when her body — and her soul — was saying "yes! yes! yes!" Neither of them expected the fireball of passion that exploded between them, or the danger that would threaten their lives. But it was nothing a little bit of magic — and a whole lot of love — couldn't fix.
 
 
  Scout 'n' Cole
 
ISBN: 9781419912948
Available in eBook  
 
Synopsis
Book 3 in the Hot in the Saddle series

Cole had no trouble attracting women. The Russell men were all blessed physically, and Cole was no exception. However, finding a woman who could match his passion for the wilderness as well as ignite passions of a different kind in his life was the problem.

Scout Windrider knew that love wasn't for her. She'd yet to encounter a man who took her breath away, and figured it was just as well. What man would want to hook up with a woman who spent most of her life in the wild, tracking mountain lions?

Neither of them could have foreseen being paired in a no-kill hunt turned deadly that would force them to confront an explosive attraction hot enough to consume them with its heat. Faced with a murderous madman intent on exacting revenge against the Windrider family, Scout and Cole take a leap of faith with each other, and discover something relegated to myth and legend prove to be true, that will touch their lives in a way that will change them forever.
 
 
 Conn 'n' Caleb
 
ISBN: 9781419917943
Available in eBook  
 
Synopsis: 

Book 4 in the Hot in the Saddle series.

Single and loving it! That’s Caleb, the only Russell man not yet hitched, and that’s fine with him. Life’s good—if a little predictable. Until a little lady drops out of the sky and into his kayak, nearly drowning him in the process.

But getting wet is the least of his problems. Seems Caleb’s going to follow his brothers when it comes to fixing on kinda offbeat women, because Conn isn’t like any woman he’s ever known. But then he’s never met a woman who isn’t from this world. And he sure as shit hasn’t ever met one who can put as much starch in his shorts and fire in his blood as Conn can with just a look.

Synopsis: 

Fantasy. I’d dreamed of being the woman I read about in romance novels—the heroine who meets the drop-dead-gorgeous alpha male who wants nothing more than to satisfy my every sexual fantasy. I never thought it would happen. But here I am, spending one night with a total stranger in a private room of a sex club, celebrating my freedom from a passionless marriage.
