Strawberry Solstice

<p><strong>The longest day of the year just turned into the strangest night.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>A stolen pony. A missing man. A vanished horsewoman.</p><p>This isn't coincidence.</p><p>And just when I think it can't get stranger I spot something flitting through the trees -iridescent impossible...and <em>otherworldly</em>. 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.</p><p>Lying to the man I love is getting harder. But if I don't I might lose more than just him.</p><p>The solstice is supposed to bring light...but this year the shadows are hungry.</p><p> </p><p><em>Welcome to the <strong>Moon Garden Mysteries</strong> 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.</em></p>
