RELEASE BLITZ! Lincoln Shaw by Ciana Stone
Release Date: November 13, 2018
Book 8 in the Heartbreakers & Heroes series and part of Ciana's Cotton Creek Saga
He doesn't care if both his brothers are both married, with families and happy as bugs in a rug. Or that most of his friends are getting hitched. Settling down might be for them but it's definitely not in the cards for Lincoln Shaw. He enjoys his freedom and women way too much for that. Nope, give him a different woman--or three-- every night and he's just fine.
Then, why the heck does a pole dancer with violet eyes who calls him Thor have him thinking that settling down might not be so bad after all?
~ EXCERPT ~
So, here's where it all begins. Or ends.
Either way, life was never going to be the same again. If
there was life after what happened next. There were two ways she could play
this. The first: pretend to be weak and beg, or the second: the way her mama
had raised her. Hands on her hips and ready to rumble.
Tallulah, or Lula as she was most often called, chose her
mama's way because she wasn't about to beg this sorry sack of shit for
anything. "I'll tell you what." Her hands went onto her hips.
"If you don't put that gun away your buddies are going to see you get your
ass kicked by a girl."
That probably wasn't the smartest challenge. Men hate to
be called down by a woman, particularly in front of their friends. But this one
had crossed a line when he shoved that five-dollar bill into the band of her
thong and then tried to pull the thong clean off her body.
As if he hadn't seen darn near all there was to see of
her. Not to mention there was a strict no-touch rule. That's one of the reasons
she took the job. She wasn't a bit ashamed of what nature had blessed her with
and didn't give a hoot about men watching her do a silly pole dance, but she
was a "touch when invited" kind of girl and she rarely invited anyone
to touch.
She didn't go into her personal policy with the offender
but did point out the "no touching" rule clearly posted. He called
her a whore and jerked her off the stage. That's when she slugged him. The way
his eyes rolled around she thought that might be the end of it.
Luck wasn't with her, though. As soon as his head whipped
back into normal position he pulled the gun.
Now they stared at one another like the gunslingers of
old, sizing each other up and looking for weakness. Lula wasn't at all sure he
would back down. "I tell you what, cunt." He looked around at the crowd that'd gathered
and grinned before returning his attention to her. "You drop to your knees
and suck my dick and maybe I won't blow your fucking brains out."
Just as the thought crossed her mind that she'd take a
bullet rather than suck anything of his, a deep male voice from the edge of the
crowd brought silence to the place.
"Or..." The people parted to make way.
"...you hand over the gun and leave before I get angry."
Lula was as surprised as her nemesis when a man emerged
from the crowd. Well, hellooooo Thor.
Holy Asgardians, what a man. Well over six feet, with a
mane of blond hair, eyes the color of frost and a body built for either
fighting or sinning, maybe a whole lot of both. She'd opt for the latter if
given a choice.
CIANA STONE
I'm a country girl at heart and I'm quite keen on home-grown heroes, military men and cowboys. Happily-ever-after is something I believe in with my whole heart. Love may be a bumpy road and there are bound to be perils along the way but in the end, love should win. I try to take that attitude into my writing and believe that love, hope and laughter are some of the best medicine there is. Along with books. Lots of books.
I have a passion for sagas. I love to fall into a world, get to know characters and have them reappear in stories down the road. Because of that, I wrote my Cotton Creek Saga. So far, there are two series within the saga, Honky Tonk Angels and Heartbreakers & Heroes, with another, Heritage, on the way in 2019.
I love to hear from readers and want every since person who has read one of my book to know how much I thank them. 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.
