Description
In this dark and sultry enemies-to-lovers romantasy, a mermaid battles hatred and lust for the wretched warlock who once bargained her life away - now he must be the one to save it.
Mermaid Zephyra dreams of freedom. On the run from a dangerous captor, she's shed her tail and hidden herself on land, her only option to steal and barter on the dirty streets. But her freedom is short-lived when she's caught and sentenced to death by the beautiful yet brutal warlock Arion Stone.
Arion is the strongest warlock alive, but his strength has come at a cost. His only salvation is the God of Death's heart, lost to a fabled kingdom beneath the ocean's depths that only the merrow can reach.
Arion offers Zephyra a deal: help him find the mystical heart, and he'll spare her life. But Zephyra's past is catching up, and as the two enter a dangerous magical bargain, they must learn to trust each other or find that there are worse things awaiting them than death . . .

Person
Jordan Gray is the debut author of Bitten and a long time daydreamer of the fantastical and the romantic. Prior to writing professionally, she spent most of her young adult life consuming any book she could get her hands on-especially if said book had lots of kissing. Local to Florida, though sadly the part of the state without any hot supernatural men, she spends her time either camped outside on her laptop or in front of the television with her four dogs, partner, and child.
