Mermaid in Troubled Water

2022

As a mermaid, Brooke has never been to the Rocky Mountains. And stumbling across the murder of a werewolf is not a great start to her visit. In the paranormal-only town of Purgatory Falls, though, she's discovered a place where she can reveal her true self for the first time in her life. So she shakes off her unease and tries to enjoy herself, exploring the quaint small town and getting to know its residents, including a dragon shifter police officer. When the official investigation into the crime she witnessed seems to narrow in on the wrong suspect, however, Brooke realizes she might have to start poking around on her own—and begin to test her own magical abilities.

Mermaid to the Rescue

2022

The last thing Brooke the mermaid needs right now is her mother showing up in Purgatory Falls to "help" her get organized to leave town. For one thing, she has a street fair to help with in a few days, and she's also just tripped over a headless man in an alley. She has murders to solve! But she did make her family a promise that she would leave the paranormal town and return to the human world, so while she figures out if a series of murders might be the work of one serial killer, she weighs her options carefully. Adding to her confusion, all her friends want her to stay—except the one who matters most. Aiden, a dragon shifter she's become close to, seems strangely distant and might be planning a new life of his own. Will dealing with a serial killer in Purgatory Falls be the biggest challenge of Brooke's life? Or will it be figuring out where she really wants to call home?
