The Denizen Series

A merman needs his stoneki back and a harpist needs a cure for her dad. Fighting to keep the merfolk safe forces Den and Kayla together into

a forbidden love.

While her dad struggles with mesothelioma, Kayla Luna balances responsibilities at the Mystical Music store with her best friend. Desperate to find a cure for her dad, she’ll use any alternative medicine like crystals, but a merman’s gem?

The most precious aquamarine of the merfolk is inadvertently stolen, and Den Oshen needs it back. He can’t touch the stoneki, or his true self might be revealed to the cunning mythologist. With his merman charm, Den promises the stoneki will heal Kayla’s father.

Kayla obstinately chases the stoneki with Den while a demon, dolphin, and tsunami thwart them. Den desires to work with Kayla, but the veil of the sea conceals a world he means not to share with anyone. Will the merman pull back the watery surface and show the cultured woman his habitat?

The Denizen’s Stone, Book One of The Denizen Series, is a paranormal romance about the chase for an ancient stone, forbidden love, and an esoteric merfolk society.
