About
I write under two pen names, Alexandra Kane and Kianna Alexander. I'm a married mother of two young kids, who wedges writing time in between kissing boo-boos and my day gig as a freelance copywriter. I write in several genres, including romantic suspense, paranormal romance, and historical romance. I love a good story, and my favorite author is Beverly Jenkins.
Description
<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding "No"; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>
Story Behind The Book
I wanted to take a different approach to the shapeshifter phenomenon becoming so popular in romance, so I decided to use a panther. Why? Because is hadn't been done (at least not to my knowledge), and it was my high school mascot.

I loved the passionate connection between Lalah and Junjie. Reading
about them and the sensual tension that kept you riveted through the
majority of the book made the suspense associated with the mystery of
the crime solving that much more interesting. This book had everything
you need for a great read: romance, suspense, intrigue and comedy.<br /><br />This
first book was a wonderful introduction to the world of PHOENIX and the
interesting characters who work for the mysterious Dr. Black. Im
curious to see where this series goes. My only complaint, as with all
books that I like, is that it ended sooner than I wanted it to.
