Solidified mer warrior Soren can be no great catch. Disgraced, battle-scarred, and having a temper as black as the tattoos slashing his skin, the First Lieutenant of rebel town Atlantis prefers to safeguard the various other warriors’ tradition-smashing modern brides instead of seek his personal to repopulate their dwindling competition.

But he can’t control his yearnings for Aya.

Her elegant gaze lighting his soul on fire. Her hidden passion tempts him like no other. But she’s destined for a worthier warrior. Declaring her about Enslaved by the Sea Lord for his very own would damn her to a terrible fate.

Aya is the smart, sophisticated vice president who never has period for any relationship. She’ll save her great-grandmother’s firm, even though trading using the recently found out mermen means working in close closeness to the dark, effective lieutenant who always gets under her epidermis. When her masterful plans end in catastrophe, Soren is the one who’s there to save her life-by reluctantly binding her as his mermaid queen. Right now she can’t get away from the substantial, hard-bodied warrior. And the more time she spends in his hands, the much less she really wants to try .

Their enemies will minimize at nothing to destroy the mer-human partnerships flourishing in Atlantis. Aya and Soren must work together to unleash the city’s best power or view everything they’ve built be washed away for the tide.
