About This Book
Blake DeLuca is no fairytale prince. He's a broke, self-doubting grad student working summers at a crumbling Northern California water park, skipping meals to get by. One sleep-deprived morning, he discovers that the handsome merman figurehead on the kid’s pirate ship has begun to talk to him. The mischievous and coy merman, Marin, has had his eye on Blake for the past two summers.
After teaming up with a local psychic, Blake discovers Marin is a pygmalion: an effigy brought to life by the soul of a deceased person with no memories of their former life.
Following a midnight trek to the park, a kiss from Blake returns Marin to flesh and blood. Thus, Blake finds himself with only four days to save Marin’s life, having three requirements to fulfill:
One, he must return Marin to the place where he died.
Two, he must fulfill Marin’s dying wish.
Three, he must prove himself worthy of Marin’s love.
