ABOUT THE STORY

In HOW TO TAME A HARPY, a jaded hero seeking redemption and a love shy beauty out to clear her name join forces to stop a killer whose crimes threaten to destroy their happiness.

Twenty-six year old SIREN JONES is running from her past. This street smart harpy has a temper with a mind of its own, something which has left her no stranger to heartbreak. Beneath her defiant, tough girl attitude, she harbors a deep desire for normalcy. Her hopes are shattered when she is implicated in the high profile murder of an ex. Worse, she does not remember the night in question! Her only hope lies in an unlikely protector, a man whose touch sparks her passion but whose past threatens to destroy them both.

Tall, dark and lethal, genetically-enhanced human DANIEL SMITH lives in the shadows, considered an outsider even among other supernatural creatures. Jaded by past betrayals, he swore never to risk his heart again. Siren is exactly the kind of woman he doesn't need: bold, beautiful and a trouble magnet. But when she comes to him seeking protection, he cannot deny the attraction between them. As time runs out, they must rely on each other to catch the real killer before he strikes again.

Thanks in advance to everyone who casts their vote for me!
