I like starting the year off with a sale, and what could be better than a boxed set sale? How about a boxed set sale at half price! That's right, the cowboys that started it all for $6.99 are only $3.99. But this is for a very limited time, so grab the first 3 books in this series for a bargain.

Kendra Lowe hires cowboy Wade Johnson as the new stable manager for her soon-to-open nudist resort. She soon discovers when the odds are stacked against them, Cowboys Never Fold. Good thing too, because he’s determined to find out who is trying to sabotage her resort even if he loses his heart.

Cowboy firefighter Cole Hatcher suspects Lacey Winters, his ex-girlfriend, of arson…again. But it’s soon made clear that the resort’s bookkeeper is still this Cowboy’s Match. So as the heat rises, he needs to find the real arsonist or his love will go down in flames.

Security guard and Army veteran, Hunter McKade lost his wife, but he can’t deny his attraction to the hot bartender, Adriana Perez. Indulging his curiosity, he discovers she doesn’t want a relationship. But when she becomes the target of an angry guest, only he can help her…if she’ll accept that she’s this Cowboy’s Best Shot at happiness.

Read A Poisoned Garden by Kim Alexander #Fantasy #Romance #Romantasy

  



A Poisoned Garden
(New World Magic Book 4)


Synopsis

A unicorn walks into a bar and…wait, what was I saying?

Look, between what I’m pretty sure is premature senility and wanting to barf all the time, I’m barely hanging in there. At this point, I need a break after solving xeno murders, fighting murderous fox shifters, and my best friend nearly murdering me for…reasons.

But do I get a break? No, I get an invitation to the court of the Unseelie fae, and it’s the kind of invitation you can’t refuse because it’s from the king who flip-flops between wanting to share a pizza with me and stabbing me.

The upside is that I can see my best friend Marly, the newly minted and slightly murderous Unseelie fae queen. The downside? Apparently, I have to prevent a civil war between powerful magical beings, and I don’t even get a can opener for self-defense.

Just like clockwork, I’m back to running from supernatural squids, double-dealing with triple-dealing fae who probably all want me dead, and getting tangled up with a beautiful, broken-hearted unicorn who makes me feel guilty, and I don't know why.
After all, we've never met before...have we?






What are the other books in the series?

Pure

‘A unicorn walks into a bar….’ That is not a joke. 


Look, I’m a bartender, I have nothing to do with the xenos. 


I don’t care if it’s an elf or a vampire--as long as they don’t bother me, I steer clear. 


I have my reasons--you can see them in the scars on my neck. I never wanted to get involved. But my life changed for the second time when I saved the life of a unicorn. I made an enemy of something old--old and evil, and whatever it was, it’ll be back for another try. 


I also made a friend when I decided to help March. He’s only been a human man for a day. I’m responsible for him now. He’s my friend…and maybe something more. 


Maybe a lot more. It doesn’t matter to me that he isn’t magical anymore. I don’t care if he’s not PURE. But he does.



-----
The March Effect

A unicorn walks into a bar…and leaves with my heart. He’s gone, and now I have a unicorn-named-March-shaped hole in my life. 


But, I get it. Unicorns aren't meant to live in a world where they have to deal with putting gas in the car, getting groceries, and paying cell phone bills. I'm trying to get past this. Really, I am. It's just that everyone constantly talks about him, from his immortal ex-girlfriend, to reality TV-obsessed Fae, to even my own fully-human friends. 


Even his enemies are still obsessed with him. I learned that the hard way. 


Did I mention the part where I end up on the run—again—from an old, powerful enemy of his? Yeah. Fun times. I just want to be left to get over my broken heart while watching home improvement shows and eating ice cream. But mysterious disappearances, murder, and a quest for affordable real estate in Washington D.C. keep getting in the way. Maybe that's just life. 


Sometimes we get what we want. 

Sometimes, we get what we need. 

And sometimes, we get what we deserve. I guess you could call it…The March Effect.

The Great Shatter


A unicorn walks into a bar...except there are no unicorns or bars in the court of the Unseelie fae, which sucks because Marly could really use a drink.

Honestly, going from human to vampire, to something not quite mortal would drive anyone to drink. Being hounded by a grudge-holding kitsune didn't help, either. But when the king of the Unseelie fae declared Marly his queen and the hope of his people, it seemed her troubles were over, and off they went to his magical kingdom in a reality-tv-worthy happily ever after.

Except it's more hard landing than happy ending. Marly is thrown into the crosshairs of ancient hatreds where war masquerades as etiquette, shadows must beg for light, and things with tentacles are just waiting for something to go wrong. And something is going wrong...very wrong.

With every mis-step, she stumbles closer to the edge of a darkness waiting to consume her, and the king's love is like a poison that can cure or kill. Her only hope is to unveil the truth dancing in the great mirrors in the sky, even if that sky comes crashing down.

The Glass Sword

A unicorn walks into a bar…it's cheaper than therapy.


Therapy, you say? 

Sign up Marly, the angry ex-Unseelie-fae-queen. 

Or how about Sasha, the bitter exiled-Unseelie-fae-king? 

And definitely Ruby, the mortal bartender who lost her heart when she found her memories of March, the unicorn shifter she loved.


A good therapist would say learn to live with the consequences of choices, but Ruby isn't ready to accept that a choice she didn't even know she made landed March as the prisoner of the Seelie fae court. And Marly and Sasha have some feelings about reclaiming the throne of the Unseelie court.

But consequences beget consequences. Amid dying kingdoms and the dying embers of old loves and older hatreds, friends become betrayers, lovers keep secrets, and someone or something is out for blood-red revenge.

Who am I?

Kim Alexander grew up in the wilds of Long Island, NY, and slowly drifted south until she reached Key West. After spending ten rum-soaked years as a DJ in the Keys, she moved to Washington DC, where she lives with two cats, an angry fish, and her extremely patient husband who tells her she needs to write at least ten more books if she intends to retire in Thailand, so thank you for your patronage.

Synopsis:

Evan
All I want for Christmas is my best friend, Tyler. And so, it seems, does everyone else...
I have an awesome, not at all cheesy mistletoe-related plan to make my Christmas wish come true, but before I can put it into action I’m thwarted by the arrival of not one, not two, but three of Ty’s drop-dead gorgeous former crushes. It seems they’ve all conspired to spend their holiday break at my family’s Aspen resort...and they’ve all got eyes for Tyler—I’m sure of it.
Now I need to come up with a new plan. A plan that involves showing Tyler that I’m the guy for him, that what we have could be so much more than friendship...
And if I happen to break a limb or burn my house down in the process? Well, as they say...love hurts.

Death on a Bench

 Do you like mystery, intrigue and bit of goofy coziness? 

Then my introduction, cozy mystery is just for you! The Chantilly Darling Cozy Mystery Series. The first quick read book, Death on a Bench came out just before Christmas and so far people are really liking it! I'm so thrilled with the reviews coming in. 

With more books planned in this series, I'm excited to get cracking on them. 


Welcome to Noble Ridge—where honey is sweet, the folks are curious, and secrets don’t stay hidden for long.

I’m Chantilly Darling, Tillie to everyone who knows me. I keep bees, rescue animals, and sell handcrafted goods hand made from honey, herbs, and garden harvests at my shop, Tillie’s Treasures.

Trouble isn’t usually part of the routine, but it sure has a way of finding me when a man turns up dead on a bench in the heart of town. I can't help myself and start asking questions I probably shouldn’t and in a town this small, secrets don’t stay quiet for long.

Especially since Sheriff Dexter Feeney, 
stoic, watchful, and far too good at telling me to stay out of it, has his own ideas about how investigations should go.

With my cats underfoot, curious goats, braying donkey, and Noble Ridge buzzing with speculation, I’m about to learn that even the coziest towns can hide sharp edges.

This cozy mystery novella is a shorter read and a perfect introduction to the Chantilly Darling Cozy Mystery series.
