In
Bayou LaSiryna, Alabama, except for her sister Lily and their cousin Shelly (see Siren's Secret), Jet Bosarge has always felt like
an outsider not belonging to either the human or mermaid species. Always the pariah, she made matters worse for
herself when she turned to a purebred nasty human Perry Hammonds who betrayed
her before he went to prison.
Shelly
warns her Perry is back. While the
miscreant demands Jet find and excavate an undersea
treasure for his client, drug dealer Sebastian Vargas; procedural-obsessed IRS
Agent Landry Fields audits Jet’s salvage company and other dealings that lead
back to the backstabbing rat. However, the
Fed conceals from Jet his real agenda to catch her and her accomplice with salvaging
dangerous contraband. Landry never
expected to fall in love with a member of a species he assumed only existed in
Disney movies; Jet likewise cannot believe she loves another human after her
first calamitous encounter; but how will she react when she learns why he is in
the Alabama Bayou.
The
second delightful Dark Seas romantic
suspense urban fantasy is a fun tale because of the protagonists keeping
Everest-level secrets from each other while falling in love. Though the villain is a two-dimensional Homo
sapiens rodent, Debbie Herbert provides her audience with a fine star-crossed
contemporary.
