One murderous mission. One killer case of PMS. Who said "the curse" was a myth? The Medusa's Daughters Trilogy, Book 1 Ever since the original Medusa ticked off Athena by bragging about her beauty, her cursed daughters have been paying for that mistake. To this day, successive Medusas play cat and mouse with the descendants of Perseus, known as the Harvesters. When Kallan Tassos tracks down the current Medusa, he expects to find a monster. Instead he finds a wary, beautiful woman, shielded by a complicated web of spells that foils his plans for a quick kill and retrieval of her protective amulet. Andrea Rosakis expects the handsome Harvester to go for the kill. Instead, his attempt to take the amulet imprinted on her skin without harming her takes her completely by surprise. And ends with the two of them in a magical bind-together. Though their attraction is combustible, her impending PMS (Pre Magical-Curse Syndrome) puts a real damper on any chance of a relationship. But Kallan isn't the only Harvester tracking Andi, and they must cooperate to stay at least one step ahead of a ruthless killer before they can have any future, together or apart.

Being the Medusa will put a real crimp in a woman's social life. Lucky for Philomena Gregory, She gave up on men long before Athena's curse landed on her head--she learned as a child men don't stay, a lesson reinforced when she was a lovesick teenager. Not even the hot naked man in her bathroom will change her mind. Ryder Ware has waited six years to meet Mena in person. She's managed to avoid him every time he's visited his son, her nephew. Flirting on the phone and via email is no substitute when a man is so intrigued. But now that Athena's Harvesters have found her, Mena has no choice by to let him keep her safe--and close, very close. Philomena may have to accept his protection, but, even if the chemistry between them is hotter than Hades, she won't change her mind about a relationship, even after a little hot sex. Or even a lot of sex. Good thing Ryder's a patient man. After years of waiting, what's a few more weeks to convince the woman of his dreams he wants forever? Forced to flee to ensure their family's safety, Mena and Ryder mostly stay ahead of the Harvesters on her trail. The longer they're together, the harder it is to keep believing all men are cut from the same cloth. Ryder may be bossy and pushy, but he proves he'll be there when she needs him, even though she'd never have asked for his help. It will take a long time to break down her walls, but with the deadly Harvesters turning up everywhere they go, they may not have long enough. Mena must decide if she can trust herself as much as she trusts Ryder. Otherwise Athena's curse on her family will mean her end, instead of her happily ever after.
