Book One
Stone Cold
Blurb
Medusa Gorgon isn’t the same woman who once lived in Atlantis. Now, she moves through the glittering city beneath the sea with a new identity, spending her days in a chef’s jacket and her nights hunting the powerful men who ruined her life.
Detective Triton is juggling two investigations: one killer turning high-ranking officials to stone… and a second targeting women who work at Tops, an underground bar and brothel in Atlantis.
With her own body count rising, the last thing Medusa needs is to get tangled in another killer’s case. That is, until she learns who’s behind the murders. More women will die if she does nothing, even if protecting them means risking everything.
Medusa is a survivor who will not be undone by a man with a badge. If Triton gets too close, she’ll lie to him. She’ll play along with his growing feelings, drawing him close enough to monitor his investigation and steer suspicion away from herself.
But Triton is sharp, disarming, infuriatingly charming, and the more time she spends pretending to let him close, the less it feels like pretending.
Stone Cold is the first book in a dark fantasy romance Medusa retelling trilogy perfect for readers who love hidden identities, slow burn romance, morally gray heroines, and serial killer-detective tension.

Book Two
Stone Pulse
Blurb
Forced by Detective Triton to move into the palace for her own protection, Medusa Gorgon is trapped closer than ever to the man she desperately needs to avoid. He’s determined to keep her safe, still believing her name is Petra Nekros—a harmless pastry chef caught in a killer’s sights. Little does he know, she’s The Stone Killer… one of the very serial killers he’s hunting.
But even under constant guard, Medusa has work to do. The Watcher is still hunting women who work at Tops, and Medusa refuses to let another one die.
Meanwhile, Triton is growing more frustrated by the day. His cases remain unsolved, Petra is keeping him at a distance, and she’s turning into another mystery he can’t figure out.
The dangerous pull between them is becoming harder to ignore. But Medusa has never been one to waste an advantage. If Triton’s feelings for her are clouding his judgment, she’s more than willing to use them against him.
The only problem? The more she plays with his feelings, the harder it becomes to tell where the manipulation ends and her own feelings begin.
