THE TURNING STONE CHRONICLES (4 book series)
by C. D.
Hersh
From Book 1: In the wrong hands, the
Turning Stone ring is a powerful weapon for evil. So, when homicide detective
Alexi Jordan discovers her secret society mentor has been murdered and his
magic ring stolen, she is forced to use her shape-shifting powers to catch the
killer. By doing so, she risks the two most important things in her life—her
badge and the man she loves.
Rhys Temple always knew his fiery cop partner and would-be-girlfriend, Alexi
Jordan, had a few secrets. He considers that part of her charm. But when she
changes into a man, he doesn’t find that as charming. He’ll keep her secret to
keep her safe, but he’s not certain he can keep up a relationship—professional
or personal.
Danny Shaw needs cash for the elaborate wedding his fiancée has planned, so he
goes on a mugging spree. But when he kills a member of the secret society of
Turning Stones, and steals a magic ring that gives him the power to shape
shift, Shaw gets more than he bargained for.
