There's Something Fishy About My Boyfriend by Gloria Duke
After years of living on the Jersey 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 naked and unconscious on the beach, Hannah does what any sane, kindhearted woman would do: She hauls him into her bed. Her bed-and-breakfast, that is. But her act of charity goes sideways fast when her 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. The same merman that rescued her a decade ago.
As Hannah reels from revelations, and Xander tries to stay ahead of the secrets lurking beneath the tide, they'll need to figure out if their surfside chemistry is just a fling…or the start of something truly fin-tastic.
