'A joy from start to finish. A glorious romance full of family and community with a delicious cast of characters and a heart warming setting.' Jules Wake
Laurie Morgan runs a café in the small seaside community of Mermaids Point, named after the beauties rumoured to live in the waters a few miles off the top of the point. When a hazy image is posted online of what appears to be a mermaid, the café and the village are soon full to bursting with curious sightseers.
The most eye-catching of the new arrivals is handsome author, Jake Smith, who has rented a cottage for the summer while he works on his new book. Or so he says. In fact, he is a journalist, burned out and disillusioned with life, whose editor has sent him on a crack-pot hunt for mermaids...Jake quickly finds himself drawn to village life, and to the gorgeous woman who runs the local café. But he soon suspects there's trouble lurking beneath the idyllic façade, and when it looks like Laurie's family might be involved, Jake faces a difficult choice. Pursue the truth, or protect the woman he's beginning to fall in love with...
