BLURB:
From sea to shore, betrayal follows her wherever she goes.
On Christmas Eve, psychic Kendra Adams reveals the secret she’s hidden for decades—she
was once Rosina, a mermaid torn between sea and shore. Betrayed in her ocean kingdom and
desperate to escape banishment, she persuades a politician to smuggle her into the human
world. But freedom on land comes at a cost, as she soon finds herself ensnared in another web,
this one spun by the politician’s power-hungry sister.
Excerpt One:
The human laughter startled me. It sounded so foreign, unlike anything I had ever heard before.
I followed the sounds and turned my gaze toward four large humans approaching us. Up close,
they were frightening, almost menacing, in their dark garments. I took note of their varying
appearances. Two had light brown hair and blue eyes, while the other pair sported dark hair and
dark eyes. Intent on observing the darker pair, I didn’t notice the other two men eyeing me.
“Hippie mermaid!” yelled one of the men with light-colored features.
All the men glanced in my direction. I felt myself reddening as I met their liquid eyes and wide
smiles. There was interest there, and some other emotion or feeling I had never seen before.
For a split second, I was flattered by their attention. And then I recalled what Mama had said. I
must let Annabella choose first.
Annabella did not give me a chance to react. She beckoned to the man who had spoken, and
he reluctantly turned away from me. Rosetta claimed the other light-haired man, and Lisetta
chose one of the dark-haired men. I watched as they moved to separate rocks along the shore.
The remaining man approached. As his features came into closer focus, I realized he was older
than the others. Not by much, but there were white hairs sprinkled in the darkness, and his face
crinkled as he smiled. “I guess I won this mermaid lottery.”
My eyes widened in surprise.
He laughed and shook his head. “You could have had any of us. You didn’t have to end up with
me.”
“But I’m not a Bella or an Etta. I’m an Ina.” There was no point in hiding my rank. I had never
been embarrassed by it, and after hearing about Aunt Lina’s punishment, I knew my place.
“Honey, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re the prettiest of the group. You just don’t
know it yet.”
