I found her face-down in the surf behind my clubhouse.
Twenty minutes of CPR, and she opened her eyes and asked me why I was pushing the water out — like the water was the point.
I'm the president of the Drowned Kings. Twenty-two men, one leaky roof, and a charter my grandfather wrote in 1971 with one line nobody could ever explain.
We keep what the sea gives back.
Turns out he meant her.
She's not human. She's not staying. There's a city standing four miles off my beach and eight of her people in a tank somewhere inland, screaming into water that can't carry it.
I've got no plan, no jurisdiction, and a federal agent with very clean boots asking after a woman I swore I'd never seen.
I know exactly how this ends. She goes home.
So why does she keep marking me like she's coming back?
Genre: Paranormal Romance
