Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

I almost drowned when I was fifteen.But something saved me... something with gold eyes and a mouth that breathed the ocean into my lungs. I've spent fourteen years trying to convince myself it was a hallucination.Now, I'm back on Isla Esmeralda, working as a marine biologist, studying the very waters I can't seem to stay away from. The locals whisper of men in the sea, but I know better than to believe in fairy tales. Until I find the hidden grotto. Until I leave a message, and something leaves a shell in return.Until he surfaces.Caelan is beautiful. He says I carry the blood of his people. He says my body is already changing. The ocean wants to claim me, and the underwater government of the mer wants me dead. But the more he touches me, the more I want to dive into the deep and never come back.Tropes: - Merman / Monster Romance- Fated Mates (Blood-Bond / Recognition)- Forbidden Love / Star-Crossed Lovers- Isolated / Lonely MMC- Possessive / "Touch Her and Die" Hero- Slow Burn to High Heat- Mating for Life / Perma-bond- Scientist FMC x Ancient Warrior MMC- Mythological World-Building- "She Belongs to the Sea" / Aquatic Fantasy---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This paperback edition of Blood of the Tides includes original black-and-white interior artwork featuring Arthur, the unofficial mascot of the series.Arthur is a crab native to Isla Esmeralda who has had the unfortunate privilege of witnessing far too much human and merman drama.
