Action, adventure, swoonworthy moments, a handsome roguish hero and a beautiful heroine (who was a Romance novelist, one of my desired careers!) I would regularly comb the TV listings (thank you PBS Pledge Drives!) and settle down to watch Romancing the Stone whenever I could.
Happily, in high school, I had a teacher who also loved the movie and we spent many class hours watching the movie, as well as its sequel, Jewel of the Nile. (Don't get me started on when she had us watching Midnight Express though!)
Turns out, I'm not the only one who loved Romancing the Stone.
A real life Romance Novelist does too!

I have been a fan for quite some time, and the admiration only grows stronger.
Her newest novella, Romancing Lady Stone, is a nod to our beloved movie.
About the novel-la:
He believes in destiny.
She just wants to survive it...
At forty, Lady Cecilia
Evangeline Stone thinks she has everything a woman could ever want. A title, a
fortune, and four children who make her proud. After a marriage of convenience
that was anything but convenient, she has no desire to complicate her life by
including a man in it again. When her eldest son announces his engagement to a
Russian actress in Saint Petersburg, Cecilia sets out to do what any good
mother would do: stop the wedding. Unfortunately, destiny has other plans.
Konstantin Alexie Levin never
considered himself to be a villain. In fact, he considers himself to be a
Russian gentleman. Having grown up in a refined and well-educated family that
embraced criminal life to avoid debtor’s prison, the only thing preventing him
from knowing happiness is the rest of the world. Everything changes, however,
when Konstantin is given a chance to start life anew and travel to London to
collect an unexpected reward for saving a man’s life. To his surprise, he is
about to become a hero at midnight to a beautiful aristocrat who desperately
needs his help. The problem is…he wants to do more than save Lady Stone. He
wants to make the woman his, all his.
