Lana Prentis is 17 years old and has some unusual physical challenges: she has white hair, silver eyes, milky-white skin and webbed fingers and toes. She lives on Safe Harbor Island off the Coast of North Carolina. Her father (Cole Prentis) is the lighthouse keeper and also the keeper of many secrets. He told Lana that her mother drowned when Lana was only three years old, and he never allows her in the water. But when Lana's P.E. Teacher (Miss Rose Perry) secretly gives Lana swimming lessons, it sets off a chain of events that leads Lana to discover the truth about herself and her mother. Lana learns her true life's purpose, that her heritage is as rich and deep as the sea - and that her future lies beneath it.

Jo Maelstrom's avoidance problems hit an all-time high when, after weeks of dodging her grandmother's calls, she got a text that "Big Jo" had died suddenly. Now back in Eldred's Hollow, a supernatural haven on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Jo is forced to reckon with her past - and the severe lack of magic that sent her running in the first place. Her grandmother's bar and marina, Witch's Cove, is in some dire financial straits, and there's more than a few people itching to take it off her hands. But when the leader of the local mermaid clan washes up dead on the shore, Jo finds herself embroiled in the question of who and why - and does it have anything to do with her own grandmother's mysterious death? A Mer-Murder at the Cove is the first book in the Witch's Cove Paranormal Cozy Mystery series.

Life under the sea is both beautiful and deadly. But nothing and no one will drive me out. Weak. Inferior. Parasite. Don't belong. I've heard all sorts of insults during my last 4 years here at Arctic Academy. As the only human mage, I'm always fighting to prove my worth, but hey, I'm top of my class for a reason. I don't care what anyone says. Not the teachers, students, or attending mer prince and his stupidly hot and cruel entourage. I can take anything they can dish out and keep getting up. Pranks, I can handle. Polar bears, no problem. Roommates, Royal audiences? Sure. Kidnappings… Wait. Kidnappings? All I want is to finish my degree, fill my polar bear soul vial, and save the ocean. It shouldn’t be this difficult. I’m Nora Donovan, and nothing—not even the empress herself—is going to drive me out of the oceans I love. This is the first of five books in a slow burn reverse harem bully romance featuring broody jerks, sassy Nora, and a true demonstration of human resilience. Violence is a guarantee, but so is an unyieldingly awesome woman.

Love transcends all barriers in this modern fairy tale When the Mer-Child learned the story of the Little Mermaid, he recognized it as the account of his mother and father, the beautiful mermaid and the human man for whom she sacrificed everything. But that love had left their offspring, the Mer-Child, stranded between worlds, as unwelcome in the realm of the sea as in the earth above. Never fitting in, he has been left to wander, searching for friends, his silvery tail fluttering mournfully in the waves. One day he notices a little girl sitting on the beach. Her father must carry her to and from the shore each day because her legs are paralyzed. Her father is black, her mother white, and she is as much an outcast in both communities as the Mer-Child is in his own. Slowly, warily, they find kinship, both in their differences and in their similarities, and they form a bond that changes them forever. What each learns about the value of being different makes this modern-day fairy tale a new classic, with two memorable characters and an enduring message.

Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid but she's never lived in the ocean. War has ravaged the seven seas ever since the infamous Little Mermaid unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality. Lia has grown up in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer hidden among Malibu's seaside mansions. Her biggest problems are surviving P.E. and keeping her feelings for Clay Ericson in check. Sure, he's gorgeous in that cocky, leather jacket sort of way and makes her feel like there's a school of fish swimming in her stomach, but getting involved with a human could put Lia's entire community at risk. So it's for the best that he's dating that new girl, right? That is, until Lia finds out she isn't the only one at school keeping a potentially deadly secret. And this new girl? Her eyes are dead set on Clay, who doesn't realize the danger he's in. If Lia hopes to save him, she'll have to get closer to Clay. Lia's parents would totally flip if they found out she was falling for a human boy, but the more time she spends with him, the harder it is for her to deny her feelings. After making a horrible mistake, Lia will risk everything to stop Clay from falling in love with the wrong girl.
