The Council says I have to marry a lost Mer princess. Fine. Except she’s landlocked in the middle of America, convinced she’s allergic to seawater, and has zero idea she’s royalty.
Valerie Dumere has tried everything — construction worker, gift shop owner, professional life-figurer-outer. None of it fits. Rod Tritone showing up and telling her she has fins somewhere in her future? Probably not the answer she was looking for.
But the kingdom won’t wait, a seagull named Livingston has opinions about the timeline, and Rod has exactly one cross-country road trip to convince his ocean-phobic mermaid princess that everything she’s been looking for is waiting in the wild blue under.
She thinks she’s allergic to seawater. He needs her to be his queen. No pressure.
Judi Fennell has had her nose in a book and her head in some celestial realm all her life, including those early years when her mom would exhort her to “get outside!” instead of watching Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie on television. So she did—right into Dad’s hammock with her Nancy Drew books.
A PRISM Award and Golden Leaf Award winner, among others, Judi is the author of tongue-in-cheek romantic comedies about mermen off the Jersey shore, male strippers a la Magic Mike, and manly maids whose motto is… Satisfaction Guaranteed.
