Book One: Forever Cowboys Series 

Good news and bad news. 

The bad news is that Marielle Stevens has been downsized right out of her job and ditched by her corporate climbing fiance. The good news is that she has just inherited a sheep ranch in the mountains of Wyoming. It seems like perfect timing to Marielle, who feels that a change could only be for the better. 

As for Trey Masterson, sexy rancher and Marielle's nearest neighbor in Wyoming, he'd prefer that this beautiful redhead would forget about playing Little Bo Peep, accept his offer for her property and head back to the bright lights. But Marielle won't sell out. She won't back up or back down and Trey has to admire her spirit while he wonders if she might make him want to take a chance on love again.

Southern Comfort by Ciana Stone

"A page turner! I couldn't put it down. Ciana has a way of weaving a tale that leaves you spellbound. Sweet, Funny, and a Splash of Danger! Definitely a story you can get lost in." Candid Book Reviews
Available in eBook here!

A man hiding from his past and a woman running from hers.

Two people from different worlds who know one another only from what they have shared with one another in Facebook messages. They've never heard the other's voice, or seen a photo.

Analise Becke writes romance with western heroes, men she has dreamed up by combining the looks of her favorite western actor with the qualities she discovers in her online chats with the Texas rancher, Riley Morgan. She's cooked up more than a few fantasies about Riley over the last year, but knows them for what they are -- fantasies of a lonely woman whose marriage is falling apart.

Riley looks forward to the online chats more than he is willing to admit but has never considered asking what she looks like. She's just an online friend. Yeah, they have a connection, but certainly not enough to even consider that a face-to-face meeting will spark anything other than a solidification of their friendship.

Riley Morgan and Analise Becke are in for a big surprise - actually a series of surprises. Their lives are about to be turned upside down as passion and danger come to Cotton Creek, Texas.

And they say nothing ever happens in Cotton Creek.

Southern Comfort is the prequel to a new series starting in January, HONKY TONK ANGELS. Come and meet the folks who call Cotton Creek home and who brings their tales to Honky Tonk Angels in down-home, good-old fashioned romances (with perhaps a bit of a twist)!

Biography
When asked to talk about herself the first thing Ciana always says is that she is a very lucky and blessed woman. She dreamed of being a writer and now that's what she gets to do - well, that along with her normal chores and family stuff.

Yes, writers do clean toilets and mow yards. And that's okay with Ci. She loves taking care of her house and family and finds that sometimes the best ideas happen when she's on that final ten minutes of mowing or when sanding on a piece of custom furniture her honey man has created.

Ciana is a country gal who grew up near a small town. The place she grew up, she describes as "so small you could spit from one side to the other." She loves small towns and the country life.

Ciana adores animals - but only those with feathers or fur. Reptiles and amphibians still give her a case of the creeping willies and whenever a lizard (or Godzilla, as she affectionately refers to them) gets in the house, it's up to the man of the cave to capture the beast. Yep, a frog turns her into a real girl.

She is something of a geek and loves to get online and game with her 'crew'. Killing zombies isn't really killing, after all - and it allows her to live up to her motto with her friends: "if the zombies are after us, you can bet I'm tripping you."

Happily-ever-after is something Ciana believes in with her whole heart. Love may be a bumpy road and there's bound to be some perils along the way but in the end love should win. She tries to take that attitude into her writing and thinks that love, hope and laughter are some of the best medicine there is. Along with books.

She loves to hear from readers and the most important thing she thinks she can ever say is - thank you. To every reader who has spent his or her hard-earned reading dollars on a Ciana Stone book, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Pardner's Trust by Randall Dale


Cowboy Up: Volume 1
A man and his horse
Available in eBook and Paperback

 

Young, fatherless Ricky Richardson had always wanted to be a cowboy. He gets his chance when his mom moves with him to Clovis, New Mexico. He works at a feedlot where he is taught the cowboy way. After a horse training accident, Ricky must show up to a new job on a ranch with a horse to ride. The only horse in the cowboy's price range is cheap for a reason, and Ricky is about to find that out the hard way. 
Reviews
I don't normally read Westerns...actually this might be the first one I have read, and I really enjoyed it! It got my attention from the very beginning. I enjoyed how the story followed the main character, Ricky, over a period of years. I felt like I got to know him, his wife Jessie, his horse Pardner, and a host of other great characters. I am eager to see how the story continues in the sequel! This book was realistic, well-written, and a great read for anybody!

Pardner's Trust- Book one - Cowboy Up is a delightful story about life on a ranch with cattle and horses, filled with joyful as well as life threatening daily responsibilities. The main character, Ricky, is young, trusting, thoughtful, caring, strong, who absolutely loves what he is doing in his job. He shares his desires for the future and is a marvelous role model for many to emulate as he quietly lives his values. Those values and lessons revolve around horses, cowboys, family and those whose families have abandoned them. I love horses, but the reader does not have to be a horse person to appreciate this well-written novel. I could barely put it down.

Cowboy Up: Volume 1
A man and his horse
Available in eBook and Paperback

Author's Interview
Q. What is the Pardner's Trust series of books?
A. They are modern day, true to life cowboy books. Ricky Richardson is no drug store cowboy but an honest to goodness young married man with a job to do. He must show up to work with a horse to ride but the only horse in his price range is a good horse gone bad because of mistreatment. It is a story of trust, love, redemption and...yes, even a little romance. 

Q. Is it a fantasy?
A. Not in the traditional sense of the word, it is a true to life, coming of age story, but if you've ever dreamed of owning and loving a horse, you will be carried away into your make believe world of horses and cows, cowboys and sheriffs. 

Q. How did you come to write a series of western books?
A. I grew up in a ranching family so the subject matter was easy to come by. I also grew up reading Louis LAmour, Jack Schaefer, Elmer Kelton and Larry McMurtry. One of the highest compliments I have ever received was that my writing reminded the reader of Jack Schaefer. 

Q. How many books in the series are out?
A. I currently have two books in the series out. Pardner's Trust and Friends in Deed. The third book in the series is scheduled for a Fall 2015 release and number four in Spring of 2016. 

Q. Do the books have to be read in order?
A. No. Each is a stand-alone with the same core characters. 

Q. Are those characters modeled after people you know?
A. I heard Craig Johnson quote Wallace Stegner that the greatest fraud perpetrated on the reading public is the statement at the beginning of each novel that states that this is a work of fiction and that any similarity to persons living or dead. I'll leave it at that. 

Q. We understand the books are clean with no explicit bedroom scenes or violence. Is that correct?

A. That is absolutely correct. No sex or violence. I don't think a good cowboy book needs that.

After almost losing his left arm in Afghanistan, taciturn rancher, Boone Leland worked hard to make a name for himself and a success of Leland Farms. Sometimes he wondered why since there would be legacy, no children to carry on his name, for who would want to marry a crippled cowboy?

On his farm to do a photo shoot introducing his new organic vegetable business, the sparks start flying. When Becky realizes the rough-around-the-edges Boone isn’t going to make a move, she sets out to seduce him. 

Will the heat be too hot to handle or will it mold their love into something lasting?

Story blurbs that will draw you to Claim Me, Cowboy
One lean hand tangled in her long tresses while the other splayed across her low back, pushing her body against his blatant arousal. Soft mewls of pleasure met his ears as she greeted his ardor with passionate innocence.

She packed more curves than the mountain ranges surrounding his massive ranch.

Diablo moved restlessly behind him and Boone tightened his hold on the reins, calming the horse instantly. He wished he could do the same with his runaway heart.

She might not be experienced in the bedroom, but she’d been around enough men to know which ones she should avoid at all costs. Boone Leland had jumped to the top of that list. Sometimes, however, her heart simply wouldn’t listen to her brain.

A light breeze tossed her curls, sending a sweet scent straight to Boone. A thousand pinpricks of awareness shot directly to a heart he’d sworn immune to all females, warning him that she was already a problem.

Rancher Boone Leland knew curvy model Rebecca Morgan would be trouble the moment he saw her walking down his graveled drive in a pair of high heeled shoes. He just didn't know how much...
“Enough, honey.” Boone growled, her soft hands almost driving him over the edge.
“Not nearly,” she whispered, placing her hands on his hips and wantonly pulling him to her.

Dammit, he had other things to do than think about a woman he’d barely met.

She wanted to learn every inch of him, to memorize the planes and contours of his big frame for those lonely nights ahead. Her hands moved over his massive chest with its patch of dark curls that ran in a thin line down his stomach to his…

“You’re killing me, baby.”

“I fell in love with you the minute I laid eyes on you. I know that most people don’t believe in love at first sight.”

“You gonna tell me what you’re doing in my house now or would you like to do my laundry too?”

Every cell in Boone’s body came to instant attention as her small pink tongue darted out to lick her bow-shaped lips.

To be such an in demand plus-size model, Becky didn’t exactly have men knocking down her door to ask her to out. Much less ask her to marry them, which was what she wanted.

He’d pictured her in his bed, her wild curls covering his pillow as she lay beneath him, that same smoky look in her eyes as he loved her.

If anyone had told her love could happen this quickly, she’d have laughed in their face. Now all she wanted to do was cry.

“From that first day, I knew you were going to be trouble.”

Her delicious curves were draped in a knee-length green dress that left her arms bare. Her abundant breasts were high, leaving a cleavage so deep a man could get lost in it. And her legs… Boone couldn’t recall ever finding the sight of a woman’s trim ankles and painted toenails so sexy. Becky didn’t need a husband, she needed a piece of eye candy on her arm. Someone who could further her career. That certainly wasn’t a crippled army vet who had dirt under his nails.

There was something about the ornery cowboy that had made her senses scream mine at her first glimpse of him. It was ridiculous, she knew, since he’d never given her any indication that he felt anything other than annoyance at her being there. Still…

When she snuggled against him like a kitten, he wasn’t strong enough to ignore the invitation in her huge green eyes.

Becky thought she would faint with the need she felt for him.

“Becky – ”

“Is gone.” He didn’t want to know if she’d left him a note or anything else. He needed to forget. Forget as quickly as he possibly could. And the first place to start was with a long, stiff drink as soon as he finished unloading the truck. He turned to go back to the barn.

Boone wanted to touch her, to reassure himself that she was alright, but forced his hands to stay at his sides. He didn’t want to wake her. Instead, he let his eyes trace her features, noting the purple knot that had already formed just above her left temple. The covers were pulled up to her chin and he couldn’t see if she’d suffered any other injuries in her fall. He assumed that she hadn’t since Cordelia would have told him. Even so, he wanted nothing more than to pull back the bedding and check for himself. 

Her green eyes opened, stabbing him with their intensity. “Stay with me, please.”

Fighting the urge to cut and run, he turned off the overhead light. Sitting carefully on the bed, he removed his boots, socks and shirt and climbed carefully into bed wearing only his jeans. There was no way in hell he was removing them. Immediately she curled up against him, pushing her lush backside into his groin. Boone clenched his jaw. It was going to be a damn long night.

She rubbed his arms and he surprised himself by not flinching away when the tips of her fingers moved over the back of his injured arm. God, he’d forgotten how much he craved the touch of another human. Especially of a woman.

“Lady, that’s a dare if ever I heard one.” He picked her up and sat her on the counter, making her laugh. His arms encircled her waist, holding her close. She wrapped her legs around him, locking them against the backs of his thighs and pulling him closer still. They both moaned as their hips bumped together.

“We could,” he began, his lips finding the spot between her neck and shoulder that caused her limbs to start shaking in anticipation. She let her head lull back on her neck, giving him complete access. “Stay here.” Another nibble, another bite and Becky didn’t care about anything except this moment. “And I could take you back to bed,” his voice lowered, “and make a meal of your delicious body.”

“If you keep looking at me like that, honey, we won’t even make it through the appetizers.”

Becky trembled, awed by the sensations he could so easily arouse. Her hands moved through the thickness of his hair, loving the feel of the cool strands sliding through her fingers. With each tug of his lips, her body shifted, lifting toward him in an attempt to get even closer. She stopped thinking about tomorrow and what the new day would bring. For now, she just wanted to lose herself in the dizzying spiral of sensation.

“Enough, honey.” Boone growled, her soft hands almost driving him over the edge.

“Not nearly,” she whispered, placing her hands on his hips and wantonly pulling him to her.

Her body was sated yet her mind was in an uproar. Her heart now more vulnerable than she knew what to do about.

“Boone, listen to me. If Becky loves you and you love her, she’ll live anywhere with you.”

“Yeah, well, what if she doesn’t love me? What if she was just using me as a remedy to boredom?”

“You can’t believe any such thing!” Carolyn was stunned that he’d even think such a thing.

“Why not?” He held up his left arm. “I’m not exactly man-of-the-year material here.”

“You forgot to leave my heart behind when you left.”

“You made it a point to tell me that you weren’t the marrying kind. You said…”

God, but she was beautiful.
