New Free Novella: Broken for Us
Hello lovely readers,
I have something very special for you—perfect if you love small towns, grumpy cowboys, and heroines who fight harder than they should have to.
Broken for Us is a brand-new free novella that kicks off my Buffaloberry Hill series. And when I say free, I mean actually free—not a limited-time teaser, not a sample. It’s a full story that introduces you to the kind of quiet danger and all-in love this series is built on.
Here’s the setup:
She’s on the run after doing the right thing the wrong way. He finds her trying to steal his horse—with a busted hand and a bad attitude. Instead of calling the cops, he gives her food, first aid… and a place to stay.
And from there, well—things get complicated in the best (and worst) ways.
Expect:
🐎 Forced proximity
🔥 Slow burn with sparks
🖤 Grumpy rancher + runaway heroine
💥 Real danger. Real emotion. No sugarcoating.
If that sounds like your thing, you can grab it free right now:
👉 GET BROKEN FOR US (FREE)
And if you do read it, I’d love to know what you think—drop me a message, or just whisper it into the Montana wind. I’ll hear it. 😄
With love and a few stolen horses,
Alessa

Her Steadfast Protector cover reveal!
"From now on, all the fighting is on me. I swear I’m not going to let her defend herself alone." - Tyler Sebastian Hunt
Hello, lovely readers.
As a former SEAL who has gone to hell and back, Tyler Hunt knows what it's like to fall apart.
Now, as a children rescue specialist, his mission is to bring together families who are torn apart by kidnappings.
Let's meet Tyler as I reveal the cover of Her Steadfast Protector, the third book in the Red Mark Rescue & Protect series.
A little bit about the cover art:
♥ The color
I chose yellow and orange as the central theme in this cover to highlight Tyler's fiery determination—and the hot chemistry between him and his love interest, Morgan.
♥ The rocky background
It represents the steady nature of the former SEAL.
♥ Sunrise in the wilderness
The wilderness plays a key role in the characters' journey, and the sunrise signifies a new start for both Tyler and Morgan.
♥ The Red Mark logo
If you're new to the series. Red Mark is named after its two founders, Samuel Redley Kelleher (nicknamed Red) and Mark Connor. The fox is their mascot; it's a resilient and resourceful animal with sharp tracking instinct, and one of the most protective in the canine family.
I hope you love the cover as much as I do :).
Till next time!
