Get ALL three stories for JUST 99 cents!

Three fun, feel-good, uplifting romances where childhood or teen sweethearts encounter each other and second chances when they least expect it! Be prepared to be swept up by these heartfelt stories into the world where past wounds can heal, humor is abound, and love is found again. This set includes a reunion romance, a single dad and best friends romance (previously published), as well as a never published before fairy-tale retelling.

SEASON OF JOY. A successful travel reporter returns home for the holidays, and sparks fly between her and her first crush, now a single father. When his youngest son writes a letter to God asking for a Mom for Christmas, she agrees to help him find the right woman. But can this reunion be a second chance for these best friends?

HOLD ME. Can she win the heart she shattered?
Divorcee Aileen McKenzie only wants to have a fresh start in her hometown with her son and their pets and to see her fledgling pastry store thrive. When she nearly drowns in a flood and her house and store are damaged, her first love-and the man she’d left over two decades ago-Roman Vela comes to the rescue. Old feelings resurface.
Over the next days, Aileen and Roman grow close until she might have to leave town-and Roman-again. Will a once-shy, risk-averse girl choose a safe life with guaranteed income or risk it all for love?

NOT YOUR CINDERELLA TYPE. Run away or claim her prince… what will she choose?
Once heartbroken and abandoned, Allie Reyes watches her former childhood sweetheart and the head of the corporation, Rodrigo Garza, from the shadows of cleaning the offices. Blackmailed to go to a masked ball, she meets him incognito and has the best evening of her life… until she leaves in haste. When she is later accused of a theft she didn’t commit, will she have the courage to stay and claim the love she didn’t hope for?

I adored all these stories, and the bonus is a fairy tale retelling of Cinderella – beautifully done by Alexa! Honestly, you cannot go wrong with anything Alexa has written, but the chance to get three entire books for only 99 cents is a Sump’n Speshul indeed!!

About Alexa Verde           

Alexa Verde writes feel-good small-town romances with a smile. She’d love it if you subscribed to her newsletter http://www.alexaverde.com/contact.html#newsletter (every subscriber gets a free Christian romance after confirming the subscription as a thank-you gift). She penned her first literary masterpiece, a rhymed poem, at the ripe age of eight, and since has had twenty books and 200 short stories, articles, and poems published in the five languages that she speaks. She has bachelor’s degrees in English and Spanish, a master’s in Russian, and enjoys writing about characters with diverse cultures. She’s worn the hats of reporter, teacher, translator, model (even one day counts!), caretaker, and secretary, but thinks that the writer’s hat suits her the best. After traveling the world and living in both hemispheres, she calls a small town in south Texas home. The latter is an inspiration for the fictional setting of her popular series Rios Azules Christmas and Secrets of Rios Azules. She hopes and prays that her stories will bring joy to her readers. Heartfelt thanks for interest in her books!

  1. I love all fairy tales. I hate to admit this, but until this quarentine, I had never seen Beauty & the Beast. I watched it yesterday, I loved it! Belle’s heart was amazing! Thank you for sharing!

  2. Cinderella is probably my favorite cause I have seen it done so many clever ways. We can all use some real life fairytales.

    • Sharon, Cinderella is one of favorite, too! I’ve seen so many versions that I absolutely loved! I even rewatch them, lol. And I couldn’t agree more. I think we can all use some real life fairytales. Thank you so much for commenting!

  3. I enjoy most all fairy tales. I do love the retelling of the Cinderella story as it as been done so many fun ways. This one is no exception. A delightful story by one of my favorite authors.

  4. As a child, fairy tales were how I made sense of the world. Alice in Wonderland was my favorite.

  7. I think most little girls love Cinderella! Thanks for this giveaway!

  8. Connie, I think Cinderella is wonderful! And my pleasure about the giveaway!

    • Oooh, Rapunzel is such a great fairytale! And I watched it many times, too. Thank you very much for stopping by!

  10. These are great stories <3
    I love Beauty and the Beast and Tangled 🙂

    • Natalya, thank you very much for your kind words! Such a beloved fairytale! And I have to admit I watched Tangled so many times.

  11. I have this set!! My favorite stays Beauty and the Beast, but it’s the TV show with Ron Perlman as the Beast. My next favorite would be Cinderella, the TV movie with Stuart Damon as the Prince, followed by Ever After.

    • Trudy, thank you so much for all your support! I need to look up those TV shows.

  12. I never pondered this before. My daughter loves Beauty and the Beast and even uses the nickname Belle for her Facebook name. I have seen a number of movie versions of this classic. I like how the Belle is a catalyst for Beast to overcome his selfish character and replace it with a selfless attitude that is willing to give up his own happiness for that of another.

    • Susan, awww about your daughter. Belle is a beautiful name and a great character! And I loved what you said!

  13. I love fairy tales, but my favorites are more unknown tales. I think my all-time favorite is still “Snow White and Rose Red”! It’s followed closely by “The Twelve Dancing Princesses”, “The Tinderbox”, and “The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep”!

    • Tina, I love fairytales, but I know only two from the ones that you mentioned. I’m intrigued. Thank you very much for commenting!

  15. Cinderella & Snow White have always been my favourites. Thanks for the giveaway.

    • AH, finally, Denise! Someone chose my favorite – Snow White!! LOL, I think it was because all the others were so….blond, hahaha, and here I was this little Italian black haired girl wondering what’s wrong with me, hehehe

    • Cinderella is one of my favorites, too! Thank you very much for stopping by, Denise!

  16. Definitely Beauty and the Beast!
    I love stories that center around the inner beauty and heart of a person!

  18. My favorite fairy tale has always been Sleeping Beauty. I guess I’ve always (even as a child) been a bit of a romantic.

  19. Thank you so much for writing such wonderful Christian fiction romances! I’ve loved every book I’ve read that you have written and am really looking forward to reading this set. Thank you also for the give away! My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella. I also love Peter Pan, The Nutcracker and The Frog Prince.

    • Hello, Janet! You are so right, Alexa is a wonderful writer! I liked Peter Pan as well, nice for the boys to have a fairy tale too, lol!

    • Janet, you’re so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words! You truly made my heart sing. I loved Nutcracker and Peter Pan, But I read The Frog Princess when I was a child. Heartfelt thanks for your wonderful support!

  20. My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast–seeing the real deal inside behind an external facade of ugliness. On a side note–I love the 2nd Chance Protector Series. Face-paced, real feelings, great endings–what more can you ask for?! Keep the stories coming. My job is stressful, painful and exhausting–I need feel-good times–even if they are fiction. Reminds that God is in control and we belong to Him.

    • Shelly, I am so sorry to hear about stressful and painful job! Praying for you! And thank you very much for you kind words about mine and Autumn Macarthur’s series!

  21. I like Cinderella, so Alexa’s latest book was perfect for me. I loved the story.

  22. While I like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast well enough, I have always preferred Robin Hood and Peter Pan! 🙂

  24. I love Beauty and the Beast. Love conquers all! I think all little girls love Cinderella. We want to find our Prince Charming!

  30. I agree with Trudy! I love the tv series “Beauty and the Beast”! Love the original animated series by Disney, though the other isn’t bad.

  31. I have watched so many versions of Beauty and the Beast And Cinder-ella on the tele! Amazing how they can be so different, yet be the same! I have to love the Disney animated the best, hiwever! 😍

  32. I love almost every fairy tale. My favorite may be Sleeping Beauty as this was the first one seen with my father. I also had a 45 of the same when he bought me my first record player! I was raised by his mother so I rarely saw him and now that he has passed (1996) I will always keep Sleeping Beauty as my fave!
    Alexa, you have such a gentle way of posing words. I love your books. Have a magically, Blessed Sunday!

    • Cheryl, thank you for sharing your beautiful memories and for your kind words about my books! So sorry about your father passing away. Please accept my sincere condolences. Thank you very much for all your support!

  33. Cinderella is my favorite one for retelling, There are so many different options for that and for Beauty and the Beast. But, for some quirky reason, I think my favorite is Rumpelstiltskin; it just appealed to me as a child.

  35. My favorite fairytale is Cinderella, I love many of the different variations out there.

    • Alison, that is such a beloved fairytale! And I love different variations and how they bring something special!

  36. I really like Beauty and the Beast. An independent girl and a misunderstood hero, who learns and grows…

    • Shannon, so true! I am sure it’s one of the most favorite fairytales out there, if not the most favorite. Thank you for commenting!

  37. Alexa, you know how I can relate to Cinderella but this sounds like an amazing story that has been added to my TBR list.
    As always, thank you for your awesome generosity to your readers.
    Love you my friend💜💜💜

  41. Fairy Tales… not something I grew up with… so I’m not sure what would be my favorite one…
