When Xanthus cashes in a long-standing favor, Kyros is faced with doing two things he thought he'd never do - protect a mermaid and live on land. Dagonians loathe mermaids and Sara, Xanthus's wife is no exception. Also, a Dagonian standing on human legs? It's just not natural

As is being around the vile creatures responsible for polluting his home and killing his sister wasn't horrible enough, Kyros has to deal with Sara's troublesome human friend, Gretchen. This beautiful, spunky human tries his patience and makes him feel things he shouldn't be feeling - least of all for a land-walker When Gretchen's life is threatened, he is forced to become her protector. But, there are two problems. First, how can he fight his attraction to her when he must keep her close. And second, when a mermaid wants you dead, no one can be trusted. Not even the ones you love.

I'm a stay-at-home mom who writes books in her spare time, which means I lock myself in the bathroom with my laptop and lock the door while my kids wreck the house and smear peanut butter all over the walls. I was born in Utah, but spent time in Kansas, Texas, and Hawaii, where I studied marine biology. I've returned to Utah's pleasant valley. I'm married to a great man named James, and we have six lively children. Reading, writing (of course), martial arts, visual arts, making Halloween props, and spending time with family are some of my hobbies.
