Description

Descended from the mythical harpies, Petra Celaeno is content living a solitary life in the Colorado Territory until she meets dairy farmer, James Lloyd. As her relationship with James grows, Petra fights against her harpy instincts and questions the traditions of her ancestors. James Lloyd came to Colorado looking for a fresh start, but he can not shake his obsession with a favorite myth from childhood. Something sinister is lurking beneath the earth of the Rockies and it is calling to James. Life in the small town of Turning Creek is about to change. A terrible prophecy will be fulfilled and Petra will have to choose between protecting her home and saving the man she has come to love.

This is a second edition with bonus materials, including a deleted scene, a mythology codex, and a sneak peak of Storm in the Mountains: Turning Creek 2.

Advance Praise

"This was a wonderful read with a truly unique set up: A small outpost in the Colorado territories in the 1850s is home to a variety of Remnants--people descended from figures in Greek mythology. At the center of this story is Petra, a remnant of the mythological harpies, and a dairy farmer named James Lloyd, who tempts her to give up her solitary lifestyle. I'm a huge fan of fantasy, romance, and revisionist histories and mythologies, which are all packed together in this one story. Throw in a western setting and you have a multi-layered romance that's both exciting and emotional. The world building and character development are excellent and I'm eager to read what's in store for Petra's two harpy sisters, and messenger, Iris!"
