When Alex Roth, a brilliant but restless young scientist, sets sail to celebrate his graduation, he never expects his life to be upended by a violent storm—and even less by the enigmatic mermaid who rescues him from certain death. Nerissa, fiercely curious and longing for a world beyond her own, breaks the most sacred law of her kind to save a human, forging an unbreakable bond neither can forget.

Torn between worlds, Alex and Nerissa are thrust into a passionate, forbidden romance, challenged by prejudice, longing, and the weight of secrets that threaten to tear them apart. As Nerissa’s pod discovers her betrayal, she must choose between family and love, while Alex faces a society eager to label him delusional. Their journey is equal parts sensual, poignant, and thrilling—filled with searing chemistry, heartache, and hope.
