In the latest Bayberry Island romance from by New York Times
bestselling author of The Sweetest Summer, it might take
more than a magical mermaid statue to bring together a
hard-headed Navy SEAL and the mysterious artist who’s loved
him from afar...
Duncan Flynn long ago said goodbye to his hometown of
Bayberry Island, Massachusetts, where a mermaid statue
allegedly grants true love to the pure at heart. So when the
injured Navy SEAL gets sent home—just in time to help his
family prepare for the annual Mermaid Festival—he’s not in
the mood to celebrate. Nor fall in love. But during a night
run on the beach, a magnificently naked woman emerges from
the surf who bears an uncanny resemblance to the mermaid in
Fountain Square.
Adelena Silva’s otherworldly mermaid paintings have made her
famous and wealthy, but Lena herself is a recluse—at least
until Duncan Flynn comes home. She’s secretly loved him her
whole life, and is determined not to let him get away again.
But will revealing her truth win his heart, or cause Lena to
lose him?
