Who Doesn't Love a Hot Cowboy? Welcome Melissa Keir!
Saddle Up with the best-selling authors who brought you Cowboy Up... And fall for Six more Cowboys ready to steal your heart!
Good Ride, Cowboy by Allison Merritt
Sometimes all you need is one good ride to clear your head.Cowboy in Waiting by Leslie P. Garcia
She’d buried a hero. She wasn’t looking for another. But her cowboy in waiting was far from a hero…Cowboy in Trouble by Autumn Piper
A cowboy on the run and a girl on the rebound make for a messy fling.A Cowboy’s Heaven by Sara Walter Ellwood
From the hell of lost love, can they find heaven together?Cowboy Proud by D’Ann Lindun
She left town to chase her dreams... He stayed and ignored his... Can they find their dreams together?
The first book, Cowboy Up featured cowboys from every walk of life-Border Patrol Agents, Equine Therapists, Farmers... Cowboy Up 2 features sexy men who are ready to steal your heart! <3
The hero of The Heartbroken Cowboy has his own issues. He's a recovering alcoholic who allows stress to push him off the wagon. But he's still determined to latch on to the one woman whose secret could send him back to the bottle.
Johnson O'Neill was a minor character in The Heartsong Cowboy (Cowboy Up book 1) and while he came off as a grouchy guy, he deserved his own happily ever after...but not without some work. In The Heartbroken Cowboy, we learn why he's angry at women and cheer for him to find the one woman who will give him a run for his money!
The Heartbroken Cowboy by Melissa Keir
Love isn’t found at the bottom of a bottle… Johnson O’Neill joined The Heartsong Ranch to escape his addiction. One night at a friend’s wedding, stress causes him to fall off the wagon and into the arms of the woman of his dreams.
Debra Donahue lost her husband to alcohol then pulled herself up by her bootstraps becoming a million-dollar selling real estate agent. One night with a sexy cowboy and a bottle of whiskey, Debra falls hard.
Can an alcoholic cowboy and a brokenhearted woman find love despite their fears? Or will the bottom of a bottle claim another happily ever after?
EXCERPT:
“I don’t drink, but could use a strong one, right now. Not this sissy stuff.” He lifted the glass to his lips, downed the contents, and shoved his now-empty champagne flute away before he leaned in toward her. The smell of alcohol on his breath hinted that he’d already had too much to drink. “Know anyone around here with some whiskey?” The dark sapphire of his eyes chilled her. This was a man used to getting what he wanted. “I’d even share.” His voice deepened and became husky with his offer and she shivered.
“I don’t drink with men I don’t know.” Debra stuck out her hand. “I’m Debra, and you are?”
The man grabbed another glass of champagne off a passing waiter’s tray and guzzled the drink in one swallow. “The name’s Johnson O’Neill. Now about that whiskey.” He reached out and drew her up to standing then tugged her in close to him. Wrapping his arm around her back, he moved her body in a slow two-step motion.
Debra gazed into his eyes. “You don’t have to seduce me for the whiskey.” She stepped out of his embrace and put her hands on her hips. She frowned.
“That’s not why I drew you into my arms. You were tapping your foot when I arrived—and I thought you might like a dance. A pretty woman like you shouldn’t be sitting alone.” He stretched his palm out again in a plea.

On a Red Horse ORDER
Hello Fine Friends,
I am happy to announce the print SIGNED ORDERING of my book On a Red Horse. It is a paranormal romance about the four horsemen (or women rather) of the Apocalypse. There will be an Amazon option after the release date (March 27th) but if you pre-order through my website instead you will get some custom swag created just for those who pre-order as well as a little thank you gift.
I am so thankful you're here to support me on this new endeavor.
Here is a blurb for you:
Scarlet needs a new job, but Horseman of the Apocalypse doesn't sound good on a resume. Three years ago she followed her companions to Earth in an effort to live human lives. But the moment she left her husband Tyr she knew life wouldn't be worth living. Lonely and longing for her husband, Scarlet is on a path of destruction that could endanger all the riders.
Tyr, god of justice, hunts his wife across the realms. From Hell to the Golden Throne, he travels until he finds her working as a phone operator. Scarlet is no longer the woman he fell in love with, and he is determined to bring that woman back to him if it takes the rest of eternity.
Even though the Horsemen live on Earth, they are still responsible for guarding four seals that can unleash the Apocalypse. When a prophecy is awoken by a deity who only has her own interests at heart, they must go on the defensive to keep their homes on Earth and protect the seals. If even one seal opens, it will start a chain reaction that will force the Horsemen to take up their mantles and destroy the new lives they've worked so hard to build.
Some Notes: All orders will be filled the first week of April shipped via USPS Priority Mail. If you wish to make an order from a location outside the US please send me an email (monicacorwin(AT)outlook.com) and I'll make you a special form to include the difference in shipping.

Welcome Jenna Jaxon
Hey All,
Taking a nice little break from packing to move in order to share a book with you. Ms. Jenna Jaxon has her newest out on the 23rd and wanted to make a little pit stop here to share it with you. I have an excerpt, one saucy cover, and a giveaway!
There are three stories in this book and here is an excerpt from one:
Excerpt #1 from An Almost Perfect Night
“If you’re skinny dipping, you forgot to remove one very important piece of clothing.” She shrieked and whirled around. Roger stood on the beach behind her, a green bottle of Perrier in one hand. His gaze played up and down her naked torso, and his salacious grin widened. “Mind if I join you?”She gasped, wrapping her arms across her chest to shield her breasts from his hot gaze. “What the hell are you doing back here?” “I came to make peace.” He waved the bottle at her. “Thought you might be thirsty by now.” Her gaze fastened on the green glass, her mouth suddenly dry as sand. She stepped toward him then froze as she glanced at his face. Roger stared at her, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He wiggled the bottle, challenging her to take it.She’d be damned if she’d accept anything from him. Not here, anyway. That would make her feel weak, dependent. She eyed the condensation on the bottle. A single drop ran down the side, hung for a second at the bottom then plopped into the sand. Shit. Right now, she was weak, dependent, and thirsty. “Come on, Pam. It’s only water.” He still held the tempting thing out to her. Hell. She marched up to him, her steps as loud as she could make them on the packed sand. Stopping an arm’s length from him, she peeled one hand away from her breasts and shifted her other to cover as much as possible. For once, she thanked God for a B cup. She snared the bottle and shot him a look of triumph, only to realize the bottle was capped. To open it, she’d have to use her other hand. Furious, she shifted her gaze from the tantalizing object to his gleeful eyes. “Would you open this for me, please?” “Suddenly lost all your strength, have you, hon?” His eyes took on a hunger she remembered. “It’s not as if I haven’t seen your breasts before.” “Then you don’t need to see them again, do you?” Heat rose in her cheeks. He was enjoying this way too much. “Come on, open it. You said it was a peace offering.” “And these are part of the peace negotiations.” He stood, arms crossed over his muscled chest, better looking than she remembered. Not fair. “I’m bored, Pam. My date still hasn’t turned up, so I thought I’d come harass you a while. I’ll tell you what.” He reached for the Perrier and unscrewed the cap, but didn’t offer it to her. “You show me yours, I’ll show you mine.” “And why would I want to see yours again?” She fixed her gaze on the bottle resting at his hips, watching the carbonated bubbles rise to the top, willing herself not to let her gaze stray toward his crotch.“For old time’s sake?” His eyes flashed with mischief as he tipped the sparkling water up and started to drink. She stared, her parched lips opened in outrage. Glug, glug. He was making that sound on purpose. Was he going to drink the whole damned thing? After swallowing at least a third of the contents, he came up for air. “Ah! Hits the spot every time.” He grinned. “Still can’t take a joke? Too bad. Here.” He thrust it toward her. Pam grabbed the bottle with both hands and shoved the end into her mouth so quickly the glass clicked against her teeth. Greedily, she sucked in and almost choked. The exquisite lime-flavored water rushed into her body to hydrate parched cells. Three more guzzles, and she breathed deeply, satisfied for the moment. She wiped her hand across her chin where she’d dribbled and held the bottle out to him, but his slack-jawed attention was riveted on her chest. Which meant…. “You still look fine, Pam. Mighty fine.” Her ex-husband licked his lips, his grin reaching almost ear to ear. “Damn it, Roger.” She wrapped her arms around her breasts so fast she hit herself with the bottle. If there hadn’t still been some water left, she would’ve brained him with it. He reached down and slipped off his sandals then untied his drawstring, all the while grinning like a fool. With one swift movement, he shucked his pants to reveal a hard, tanned body, complete with a seriously large erection. She hadn’t seen that coming.

Cultivate Inspiration Week One Day Three
Congratulations! You made it to the end of week one. Unless I'm talking to myself...but that's okay too.
This week's post is about Taking Action. I need you to do something for me. Grab a piece of paper and a pen or pencil or a sharpie --anything. I'll wait.
Once you're settled in I want you to write down a goal. Why are you taking this workshop? What do you hope to accomplish. Do you want to take your business to the next level? Do you want to write you first novel? or get back into writing period? Do you want to create a masterpiece of art unlike the world has ever seen? Anything. Just write it down on the piece of paper. Doesn't matter what size or shape or color. Did you write it?
Now. Once you have it written, hold that paper in your hand and look at that goal. Think about it, ruminate on it, pet it, whatever works for you. Now think of someone who has already met that goal. Do you want to be the next JK Rowling or Vincent Van Gogh? Pick someone who has accomplished what you hope to achieve. The next step is to read about them, study them, learn them. See how they did this thing and soak it in. As you sit there and imagine yourself in that very spot one day you will feel it. You'll get that tingle in your chest and your palms. You want this. I know you do. I want it too. Guess what? You can get it by focusing on the habits of those that came before...although in the case of Van Gogh maybe you shouldn't emulate him entirely.
One common thread about these people is focus. Focus on that goal and you will see yourself there and it will push you to be better and create better.
Thanks for reading loves,XOXOMonica
P.S. If you're asking yourself where are the exercises and step-by-step guides? Why is this all I get? You should be on the email list. You can get a .pdf guide (for free) with steps and exercises, quotes, and studies. Email me at monicacorwin(AT)outlook.com or join the FB event page for more social interaction.
