Romance Paranormal

In SEA LORD, Conn Ap Llyr is Prince of the Selkie, a dying race of children of the sea. Lucy Hunter is human, a child of a sea witch Atagatis and a mortal man. Conn is shown in a vision that Lucy is important to his people and to him although he doesn't know how. He travels from his island of Sanctuary the sea town Lucy lives in with her alcoholic father and her brothers. Lucy is a grade school teacher living with her father, while her brothers have each married and live in the seaside town that Lucy cannot seem to leave. Conn appears one day and, using his allure, asks Lucy to come away with him, but, Lucy seems unaffected. Conn is amazed. Lucy is lonely, and wants someone to love her, but, is resigned to being alone, but finds Conn very attractive and sexy. Conn begiles her to have sex with him, and then he puts a sleeping spell on her. She wakes up on a ship on it's way to Sanctuary where Conn feels she needs to be according to a prophecy that says the daughter of Atagatis will change the balance of power between the elements, and Conn wants the balance of power shifted to the children of the sea, the water elements. The struggle between Conn, wanting to help his people, and Lucy, never having released the power she doesn't understand is compelling. The love that develops between Conn and Lucy is powerful. I couldn't put the book down until the story was complete. A wonderful story of devotion, love and family.

SUMMARY

He was born of the sea…

Selkie prince Conn ap Llyr denies his deeply sensual nature to rule over the immortal Children of the Sea. But when the Children of Fire threaten the Selkies’ Sanctuary, Conn must obey his haunting visions—and seek a woman thousands of miles away...

She was born on land…

Schoolteacher Lucy Hunter knows nothing about her Selkie heritage or the prophecy that drives Conn to find her. She is content with her life on the quiet Maine island of World’s End. That is, until a proud, compelling stranger appears to challenge her assumptions and awaken her desires…

Their love will tear them between two worlds…

To combat Fire, Conn needs Lucy’s magic—even if this means stealing her away to Sanctuary. As the demon threat grows, so does their passion, overcoming Lucy’s fears and Conn’s guarded heart. But soon they face a devastating choice. Will their love be enough to save them? Or will their destinies tear them apart?
