Lt. Duncan Flynn, Navy SEAL, returns to his family on
Bayberry Island after suffering from wounds in the last
raid with his buddies in Afghanistan. His patrol was wiped
out except for him, and he is filled with guilt because he
was
unable to save them. His priority is to recover quickly,
board anything that will return him to the SEALs and try to
make up for those losses. Family ties are not his thing,
he is not a
commitment guy, and that love stuff is not in his
plans.
Adelena "Lena" Silva has loved Duncan since they played
together as
children. She is waiting patiently
for him to come back to her, and
she is convinced he will. In the meantime as a
successful artist, she has built a multi-million dollar
home
on Moondance Beach and makes huge amounts of money from her
painting of mermaids, which is her forte.
In the center of town at Fountain Square is the location of
a bronze mermaid statue. According to myth, the mermaid
grants
true love to the pure of heart. The older women in town
have a Mermaid Committee and work on the Mermaid Festival
complete with a parade and ending with the Mermaid Ball.
Mona Flynn, Duncan's mother has been President for many
years. She and her committee are working hard to promote
these occasions heavily during tourist season. When his
mom
and his police brother, Clancy, ask Duncan for his help
during Festival Day he wants to refuse, but they need his
help. He meets Lena at the festival, and their chemistry
is HOT!
I love MOONDANCE BEACH. Susan Donovan tells a sweet story,
with a seaside setting
filled with colorful characters. The myth of the mermaid--
or
is it the magic of true love--warms my heart. The Flynn
family each has fun stories, and the exciting climax after
the
romantic Mermaid Ball is a delicious finish to MOONDANCE
BEACH.
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?
