COVER REVEAL, FUN, AND PRIZES!

UPDATE:  A.C. won the $10 Gift Card...please email me so I can send it. Congrats!


Hey gang, how the heck are ya? I am way happy to see you all here today, and I’m just bursting with excitement to reveal the cover for my new release.

So, I agonized last night over whether I should reveal it right off the bat, wait until midday to reveal, or wait until evening. But, just like Christmas…I cannot wait. It’s just not in me. I once was so determined to get an early peek at my presents under the tree that I snuck around and unwrapped a couple of them, peeked, and re-wrapped them so no one would know.

But I knew.

And come Christmas morning, there were no big surprises.  It was so awful that I never did it again. Worst Christmas ever!!!

But it ain’t Christmas and I ain’t thirteen any more.  LOL

So…now that we’ve established it’s Christmas morning and it’s time to reveal my secret…(work with me here, okay?)…

Woo Hoo…it’s cover reveal time!

Burnin’ It Down is book two in The Dallas Bradshaws Series. It comes out a week from today…January 17^th…and will be featured as part of Paige Tyler’s Dallas Fire & Rescue launch.   It’s an Amazon exclusive, so there is only one place you’ll be able to find it. So, mark your calendars for next Friday and BE THERE, or be square. Don't miss out on this story about a female fire fighter and a sexy Dallas rancher.

And while you’re in your Amazon account, you might want to also pick up book one, Barn Burner, so you don’t miss a moment of the fun and flames sparking around The Dallas Bradshaws.  😊Just sayin…

And while we are on the subject of book covers, ain't that a smokin' HOT hero? Ya gotta check out his other shots over at his website...the Vikkas Zone.

Now, don’t think for a second that we’re done, now that the reveal is complete. Today is going to be full of fun and games, pics of hot guys and weird motorcycles, and whatever the hell else I can dream up. Here’s what you need to do…head on over to the Dallas Fire & Rescue Kindle World party page where my shenanigans will be going on all day long.  I’ll be posting blurbs, quotes, extracts, contests where you can win prizes and free books, and whatever the hell else I can dream up.  LOL  (Sensing a theme here?) 

The posts will be going up throughout the day and I’ll be around to chit chat until the end. Some contests will only be open for a short time, while others may remain open until the ice statue melts. So stop back often to check out the latest posts. And don’t forget to read the blurbs, extracts, and quotes, because there will be questions later… worth prizes.

And to kick things off, let’s have a contest right here and now. For a chance to win a $10 Amazon Gift Card, leave a comment here telling me what kind of dog is on the cover of One Dog Too Many. The winner will be drawn from the comments containing the correct answer tomorrow (Saturday 1/13) at 3pm EST and posted here. 

(Hint…cheating and peeking is absolutely allowed!)

Don’t forget…after you’ve posted your answer here, hop over to the Dallas Fire & Rescue party page and check out the contests there.

That’s my story, fun and frivolous, and I’m stickin’ to it.  Hang on tight now, ‘cuz we’re gonna go real, real fast!

Hugs.

Love ya,

Kayce

Christmas In Garland Creek

Butterscotch Martini Shots, Volume 4 

Four new heart-warming Christmas stories from the Butterscotch Martini Girls. This box set features a collection of new holiday tales of Christmas in Garland Creek, Arizona, from Kayce Lassiter, Tia Dani, Tina Gerow, and Tina Swayzee McCright. The heat level for this set runs from sweet to low.

Garland Creek Cowboy by Kayce Lassiter

Devin Douglas finds his world turned upside down when his high school flame returns to town for Christmas after a sixteen-year absence. Melayna Gaines had turned down Devin’s marriage proposal and fled town like her tail was on fire. Now she’s back and the two must work together to save Devin’s fifteen-year-old daughter who has fallen off a cliff and is stuck at the bottom of a canyon with a mountain lion and a broken ankle. Can Melayna put aside her dreams of international travel to stay in Garland Creek with Devin? Is she prepared to take on another woman’s teenage daughter? Is Devin destined to pick up the pieces of another devastating rejection? Or will the magic of Christmas in Garland Creek give these two star-crossed lovers a second chance at love?

Her Christmas Wish by Tia Dani
There’s Christmas magic in Garland Creek and it comes from more than just the holiday season. Disillusioned with her life, architect, Kandee Harding, accepts an interview in Garland Creek, Arizona for a lucrative position with Anderson Holdings. Unbeknownst to her, there’s more coming than a career move. Sam Ralston, a restaurant supply owner, arrives at the same time to fix a problem at a newly-opened resort. Soon they become involved in a scheme of payback, a discovery of the past, and a deadly sabotage lurking behind the Christmas Spirit.

Mom for Christmas by Tina Gerow
Brock Turner doesn’t believe the holiday magic of the tiny town of Garland Creek can grant his Christmas wish, but fate works in mysterious ways. Brock’s wish is to have his mom with him through the holidays. However, she tragically loses her battle to cancer just days before Christmas... But not before she tells him he’s adopted. Her wish is for Brock to find his birth mother, and he promises he will do everything he can. Nurse Anastasia Callahan has been a Christmas angel to Brock as she helped ease his mother’s pain during her last days. Now Anastasia and Brock must work together to answer his mother’s dying wish and locate the birth mother he never knew. Brock and Anastasia grow ever closer as the holiday magic of Garland Creek weaves its spell and just might grant his wish in a strange and mysterious way.

Walking Away With Christmas by Tina Swayzee McCright
When a string of burglaries threatens to close the newly opened Garland Creek Resort, Gina Ferari, the resort photographer, discovers her aunt is the prime suspect. After a chance meeting, Gina finds an ally, and possibly more, in Carter Hayes, a visiting lawyer. But the situation worsens when an employee disappears, Carter’s future with his law firm becomes questionable, and Gina can’t get beyond her childhood loss to learn to trust again. Can a touch of magic bring back Christmas and Gina’s happily ever after?

EXCERPT... 

Garland Creek Cowboy

    

by Kayce Lassiter

Myca slipped by the pair. “Come on, Colleen, it appears the bar is now open. “Let’s give it a whirl.”

Colleen followed her to the bar, where Myca ordered, “Two butterscotch martinis, please.”

The silver-haired bartender in starched Wranglers, a black jacket, and a red vest with a bolo tie, smiled. “Okay, ladies, but I’m just a volunteer. I don’t do this for a living.”

Myca smiled. “Seriously, Ben Monroe? We’ve known you since we were all kids together. We know who you are and what you do for a living.”

He winked. “Then you know I have no clue how to make a butterscotch martini. But tell me what’s in it,” he leaned forward flirtatiously, “and I’ll try anything for you, Myca.”

She froze and cut her gaze to the side to stare at him, then to Colleen, who gawked at Ben like he’d just pissed on the floor.

Myca put one hand on her hip. “Are you flirting with me?” She’d discovered a long time ago that the direct approach either made a guy back off, or made him even more determined. She wasn’t sure which option she hoped Ben would take. She’d decide how she felt about it after she saw which way he jumped.

Ben straightened and held her gaze as he announced, “I’ve been flirting with you since you were sixteen years old. It’s about time you noticed.”

Huh, really didn’t expect him to jump that way.

The only thing she could think to say was, “Well, let’s see how good you are at bartending. That might make up my mind.”

Then she turned to Colleen and growled, “You can close your mouth now.”

Colleen snapped her jaw shut, but continued to stare.

He picked up the drink shaker. “Shoot.”

Myca stepped forward and leaned on the bar. “Okay, four jiggers of Buttershots, four jiggers of Bailey’s, and two jiggers of vanilla vodka.”

He tipped his head to the side. “That’s ten shots of booze.  How many martinis am I making.”

Myca scowled at him. “You are making two martinis.” She extended her hand across the bar and pointed to the shelf below. “And you’re going to use the two large martini glasses I put down there earlier.”

He raised a brow, but said nothing, simply reaching for the martini glasses, which were much larger than the glasses the resort had provided.

Ben smiled. “Maybe I should join you,” he teased as he poured the shots.

Myca glanced up at him. “If you’re going to join us, you’d better put more booze in the shaker.”

Ben Monroe laughed as he dumped in some ice, shook the container, and poured two very full martinis. He slid them across the bar. “Enjoy, ladies.” Then he leaned close and lowered his voice as he addressed Myca. “And be sure you come back and see me when you’ve finished that drink.”

She could feel her face heat, as she shot back a snappy retort. “Of course, we’ll be back. This is only our first drink.”

* * *

          Devin watched as his grandmother and Melayna’s turned away from the bar. “You suppose those two will stay sober tonight?”

          Melayna laughed. “Not a chance.” She pointed at them. “Those glasses are way full.”

          He groaned, then met her gaze. “I recognize those drinks. They’re butterscotch martinis, and they are all alcohol.” He shifted his gaze back to the grandmothers. “And it would appear they have brought their own glasses, which are twice the size of the martini glasses the hotel provided.”

          Melayna snorted. She covered her mouth with her hand. “Sorry. I’m just picturing the two of them fighting over a toilet to puke in.” 

          “Oh, let’s don’t go there. I don’t even want to think about that.”

The Cat's Almost out of the Bag on this one

My lips are sealed...kind of ;-)

Always, Lexi

Woo Hoo…the hinkiest fairy godmother in the universe rides again!

Delta Jane is back and Loons of a Feather is now a reality.  Yep, I made it…got it loaded, proofed, and released on time.  Was there really any doubt I would get there in time, you ask?  Well hell yes…it’s me, people!  Did you forget who you were talking to?  I’m the master procrastinator and there was much panic, many late nights, lots of bleary-eyed cursing sessions, and twisted belly pains.  But my new novel, Loons of a Feather, is finally available on Amazon.   Yeah…happy dancing across the pasture again.  Ya-Hoo!  (Throws cowgirl hat in the air.)

Link to buy:

Loons of a Feather (print or ebook)

Well, to be honest with you, the official release date is tomorrow—February 1—but if you were to go to Amazon right this very minute, it’s up and available for order.  So pass the word!  Tell your mother, your sister, your neighbor, your cousin, your niece, your grocery store clerk, your therapist, your gynecologist…tell ‘em all!!!  Wait…maybe not your therapist…Delta might not help your cause any.  J  And don’t forget to tell the guys too.  I was amazed at how many men bought a copy of Katie’s Rock and Midnight on the Double-B at my book signing last weekend…some as Valentine’s gifts for their sweetie and some as Valentine’s gifts for themselves.  So contrary to popular opinion, men DO buy romance…at least, the smart ones do.  J

Don’t forget to tell me if you like the cover or not…I designed and created it myself and I’m not above begging shamelessly for compliments.  LOL  And if you click on the link at the top, it will take you straight to the book on Amazon where you can order it either in print or e-book format.  Yeah again!

Now…if you are local and looking for a print copy, I’d much rather you come see me next weekend at the Chocolate Affaire where I will also have Katie’s Rock and Midnight on the Double-B.  (Hint:  You can get the book cheaper there at conference pricing and without the shipping charges.  Who doesn’t love cheaper?!)

In case you haven’t yet read Midnight on the Double-B and are still undecided on buying a copy of Loons of a Feather—or someone you know is still undecided—follow this link to Amazon Friday 1/31 through Monday 2/2.  The e-book version of Midnight on the Double-B will be FREE…yes, FREE…for 3 days.  Pick up your e-book, read it next week, and if you fall in love with Delta, zoom back to Amazon for your copy of Loons of a Feather…or trot over to the Chocolate Affaire next weekend and get your signed copy from yours truly.  

Midnight on the Double-B
Midnight on the Double-B (free)

Remember, Midnight on the Double-B is a short story and a fast, easy read—and it’s the precursor to Loons of a Feather, which is Book One in the Delta Jane series.  So for those of you who wanted more of Delta…here she is.  I hope you enjoy her!!!

Oh, one more thing—leave a comment here by midnight Saturday (2/1) for a chance to win a free copy of Loons of a Feather in e-book format.  So leave a comment and I will contact you when the winner has been drawn.  What could be better?  A cranky, hinky fairy godmother…and FREE.  Yeah, baby!

That’s my story, wahoo and wazoo, and I’m stickin’ to it.  Hang on tight now ‘cuz we’re gonna go real, real fast!

Love ya,

Kayce
