Strawberry Solstice

The longest day of the year just turned into the strangest night.Crescent Bay's High Solstice Renaissance Faire is in full swing, bringing tourists, tournaments, and midsummer mischief. Between strawberry picking, horseback riding, and a weekend of camping with friends, I was ready to enjoy the longest days of the year. But when a beloved local pony disappears - and then a man goes missing from our campsite - summer's enchantment turns eerie.Carter Monroe isn't exactly a friend, but when he blunders into the woods and never returns, his daughter is left waiting at the campfire.Worse, Grace Wayburn, the no-nonsense owner of Rivergreen Stables and a good friend of David's, vanishes the same night, leaving behind her prized horse.A stolen pony. A missing man. A vanished horsewoman.This isn't coincidence.And just when I think it can't get stranger, I spot something flitting through the trees -iridescent, impossible...and otherworldly. The fae magic I've sworn to guard is seeping into Crescent Bay again, and I can't tell David the truth. Not about the moon garden, not about the portal I protect, and definitely not about the tiny creatures that might have lured Carter and Grace into the dark.Lying to the man I love is getting harder. But if I don't, I might lose more than just him.The solstice is supposed to bring light...but this year the shadows are hungry. Welcome to the Moon Garden Mysteries paranormal cozy mystery series, a magical blend of paranormal women's fiction and cozy mystery for those who believe forty marks a new beginning, cats can talk (and you'd better listen), and when you're guarding a fae portal, chocolate is a girl's best friend.
