A Jersey Shore romance with a merman in the mix

Hannah Bell expects to inherit her family’s Jersey Shore bed-and-breakfast, not to find a mysterious stranger in the surf. Xander’s arrival brings a supernatural complication to her seaside routine—and a history between them: he rescued her years earlier, then disappeared. As the pair confront what his return means and the secrets tied to the tide, the story combines romantic comedy, mermaid folklore, and a boardwalk setting. The B&B gives their developing connection a shared place to unfold, while Xander’s identity turns an unexpected act of hospitality into something more tangled than Hannah anticipated.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Romantic-comedy fans who enjoy supernatural elements
  • Readers interested in seaside settings and merfolk
  • Those looking for a romance built around a second-chance connection

Book overview

GYM. TAN. MERMAN. Welcome to the Jersey Shore, where the men are hot, the sun is sizzling, and the boardwalk's seen it all...until now.

After years of living on the Shore, Hannah Bell is sure two things are true:

  1. The family B&B is her future.
  2. Men like Xander--mysterious, charming, and un-freaking-believably gorgeous--do not just wash up like some kind of sexy flotsam.

But when Xander appears mostly-naked and half-conscious in the surf, Hannah does what any sane, kind-hearted woman would do: hauls him into her bed. Her bed and breakfast, that is. It's only polite. But her one act of seaside charity goes sideways fast when her new perennially topless "guest" starts fixing leaky faucets with a wink, charming her with fishy dad jokes, and casually revealing that--oh yeah--he's a freakin' merman.

Not only that, but he's the merman who rescued her a decade ago and then ghosted her like an enchanted Tinder date gone wrong. Rude.

As Hannah reels from revelations and Xander tries to stay one step ahead of the secrets lurking beneath the tide, they'll need to figure out if their surfside chemistry is just a summer fling... or the start of something truly fin-tastic.
