  Fairy Tale Wedding

  (The Cinderella Ball Series, Book #3)

  The Cinderella Ball is the chance of a lifetime for individuals to come together to find their special someone. Their one and only. Their soul mate. Obtaining a ticket isn’t easy, but for those select few, it offers the chance at a lifetime of happiness.

  Five long years ago, shy, passionate Ella Montague fell in love with tough, Costa Rican businessman, Rafe Beaumont. She thought he loved her, too. But that was before her family’s Cinderella Ball tore them apart. Now he’s back and insisting they marry at this year’s ball. If she refuses, he’ll destroy her family. His plan? To wed her and bed her, then leave her, which will prove once and for all that the “magic” of the ball is sheer fantasy.

  What Rafe doesn’t count on is reigniting the passion they experienced all those years ago. Leaving Ella and returning to Costa Rica is the hardest thing he’s ever done. Then Ella shows up on his doorstep, determined to make their marriage a real one—no matter what it takes.

  Will Rafe drive away his Cinderella bride or will he surrender to the magic of his Fairy Tale Wedding?

  Fairy Tale Marriage

  (The Cinderella Ball Series, Book #4)

  At the tender age of seventeen, sweet, innocent Shayne Beaumont attended the Cinderella Ball and fell in love with rough-and-tumble wrangler Chaz McIntyre. But their marriage only lasted one night before her brother, Rafe (the hero from Fairy Tale Wedding, Book #3 in The Cinderella Ball Series) ripped them apart and had their marriage annulled. Now, she’s back—older, wiser, and determined to find love again.

  Cold, hard-hearted Chaz McIntyre has no choice. If he wants custody of his daughter, he must marry immediately. And though he hates the idea of returning to the Cinderella Ball, it’s the only option if he wants an instant wife. And he finds one, a masked beauty who seduces him into marriage. It’s only after the fact that he discovers it’s the one woman he least wants to marry. His ex-love, Shayne.

  But need outweighs all other considerations and he returns to his ranch with his wife, tasking her with putting together a home that will guarantee custody of his daughter. What he doesn’t expect is for Shayne to peel away the wintery layers surrounding his heart, bit by painful bit. While Chaz struggles to deny love, his wife and daughter are equally determined to unleash the miracle of Christmas, the one holiday he swore he’d never again celebrate.

  The Wacky Women Series

  In the world of Wacky Women, nothing ever goes according to plan!

  From one disaster to the next, these women will do anything to find true love.

  Heartwarming, hilarious, and unexpectedly poignant,

  Fall into laughter while you fall in love.

  Once Upon a Cowboy (The Wacky Women Series, Book #1)

  Cami “Tex” Greenbush is 100% pure Texan, despite growing up in Virginia. Cowboying is in her blood. All she needs is one chance to prove it.

  Holt Winston desperately needs a decent wrangler for his working Colorado dude ranch, and Tex Greenbush’s resume seems perfect.

  The instant Cami “Tex” Greenbush arrives at Holt’s ranch, wearing a pink feathered Stetson and fringe hanging from every seam, he fires her on the spot. Unfortunately, they’ve agreed to a two-week trial and a cowboy—a real cowboy—is always true to his horse, his woman, and his word.

  While Cami spends her days roping the ranch dog more often than the cows and dragging Holt through the mud, her sky-blue eyes and itty-bitty freckles have him kissing her as often as he wants to strangle her.

  Maybe that’s because he doesn’t need a wrangler . . . but a wife.

  Once Upon a Jinx (The Wacky Women Series, Book #2)

  If anything can go wrong . . .

  It’s the story of Kit Mallory’s life. Born under an unlucky star, she’s always been a jinx. Since taking the position as head of Testing and Research at The Toy Company, it’s only gotten worse. Whether it’s blowing up the lab, accidently annihilating her boss with killer missiles, or starting a three-alarm fire, if anything can go wrong, it definitely will!

  Stephen “the Iceman” St. Clair is at his wit’s end dealing with the endless disasters caused by his newest employee. He’d fire her if not for one small problem . . . . He can’t keep his hands off her. From the moment they first meet, the Iceman has been on fire. One way or another, he intends to have her—assuming she doesn’t jinx them both on the way to the bedroom!

  But even when romance offers a promise of forever, a painful secret threatens to part them permanently. It’s up to Kit to find a way to turn disaster into destiny. All she has to do is find a way to melt an Iceman’s heart.

  Once Upon a Time (The Wacky Women Series, Book #3)

  Handsome, efficiency-expert Julian Lord lives an orderly existence. And that means living by a set of unbreakable rules. Following the death of his great-aunt Maudie, Julian must return to his childhood home at Willow’s End in order to settle her estate. Unfortunately, the chaos that ensues breaks every last rule and turns orderly into mayhem.

  First there’s Maudie’s young and beautiful caretaker, Callie. Ms. Disorganization herself, couldn’t say “no” to all the demanding people surrounding her if her life depended on it. Then there’s Brutus, Callie’s 200-pound St. Bernard, who thinks he’s human. Not to mention his aunt’s two juvenile delinquent fosters bent on tearing apart her house in search of her missing will.

  While Julian attempts to tame the juvenile delinquents, explain to Brutus that he’s just a dog (despite evidence to the contrary), and instill rules and order on the crazy household, Callie is dedicated to un-taming him, proving Brutus is as human as the rest of them, and breaking each and every rule.

  Then there’s the small issue of the two falling deeply, crazily, madly in love!

  Of course, no one can tame Brutus. Watching all the craziness come together is simply too fascinating for the humongous beast, especially since he knows exactly where the will is hidden.

  Too bad the old boy isn’t talking . . . !

  Once Upon an Enchantment (The Wacky Women Series, Book #5)

  When enchanting, loveable Meriwyn is kicked out of her pixie tribe weeks before Christmas and forced to live as a human, she goes to work for
tough, pragmatic engineer, Reeve Lambert, caring for his motherless children. She cherishes everything about her new life, despite the hilarious mishaps with all things electrical and modern. More than anything, she loves the children almost as much as she loves their sexy father, even though that love is forbidden.

  Reeve doesn’t know what to make of adorable Meriwyn. From her odd speech pattern and ability to charm all two- and four-legged creatures, to her confusion over the basics of everyday life, to her innocent passion, she’s become an irreplaceable part of his family. His children want her as a forever mother . . . and so does he.

  But Meriwyn can’t do forever, not with a human. And when she discovers Reeve’s actions will unintentionally destroy her home and people, she must choose between the humans and their needs, and the very existence of her tribe. Not that there’s any real choice. If the humans have their way, the pixies will die. Somehow she must stop Reeve without his discovering who she is and where she comes from . . . or that their love can never be.

  A Note from Day Leclaire

  Despite how long it took me to conclude this series, I’m really sad to see it go. Maybe you can tell by the way I ended it! (For those who haven’t yet finished the book, please don’t read further to avoid any spoilers!)

  Will I continue with Dante stories with a new series, maybe Those Damn Texas Dantes!? I probably will. But it won’t be anytime soon. Sorry, but it won’t. Right now, I’m switching over to fantasy romances under a new pseudonym. They’re very different from my contemporary romances, so they may not be your cup of tea. If you think you might enjoy something a little more graphic, a lot sexier, and that involves alien romance, contact me and I’ll point you toward my newsletter under my super-secret pseudonym. ?? But fair warning, these are not for the faint of heart!

  For the rest of you who’d rather stick with contemporary romances, I still have tons more coming. Visit my website on a regular basis for upcoming releases. And look for two brand new books in The Salvatore Brothers Series, which premiers in January 2021. I strongly recommend signing up for my Newsletter in order to stay updated with my latest releases. I will be releasing a book every month through December 2023, so don’t think I’m going anywhere!

All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!
