Book overview
A fake engagement. A quest for a wish granting fish. A chance to change their destinies.
Every Rusalka princess and heir in the history of the undersea kingdom has wielded powerful magic. Except Roksana. She's never told anyone except her pet otter, but it's getting harder and harder to keep the shameful secret that will cost her the crown. But then she learns of a chance to make her greatest wish come true-a legendary Golden Fish who can grant your heart's desire. There's just one problem. She's not the only one looking for it.
Prince Alexei has one month before his father marries him off for a political alliance. Disguised as a common merchant, he's determined to hunt down the magical Golden Fish and change his fate. Unfortunately, he doesn't know anything about sea creatures. So when he's saved by a beautiful green-haired Rusalka girl, he realizes she might be his one saving grace.
Neither are willing to trust the other with their true purpose, but Roksana needs a guide in the human world, and Alexei needs an expert on all things water. They decide to strike a deal: pose as a merchant couple to help each other-just for a month-then go their separate ways.
But the overpowering chemistry between them doesn't feel so fake. And even with all their secrets, somehow they understand each other in a way no one else ever has.
