The Mermen of MerLand Kingdom

Book excerpt: FIVE EXCITING EARTH WOMAN / MERMAN ROMANCES THE MERMAN’S JEWEL When she discovers that her husband has been unfaithful, Niamh O’Sullivan casts herself into Kinnagoe Bay and expects it to be the end. Instead she’s rescued by merman Adam Spellman and taken to MerLand, an underwater kingdom. Within a year she’s borne him twins and been loved deeply, but she’s wracked with guilt at the thought of the pain she caused her loved ones on Earth. Adam has the power to facilitate a return trip, but it means that Niamh has to leave him and her children behind. Can she take the chance of losing all she holds dear just to lay the ghosts of her past to rest? THE MERMAN’S DESIRE Twenty-year-old Erin Murphy is a curvy woman and has decided that she wouldn’t change herself in order to find love. But she despairs that any man will want her as she is. Merman Jacob Spellman has always been attracted to fuller curves. He’d wondered if he was destined to settle for less than his heart’s desire, until he sees Erin walking along Portobello Beach and decides that she will be his. All Erin needs is to believe that a handsome prince wants her just as she is. All Jacob needs to do is convince her that the Kingdom of MerLand is a better place than Earth. THE MERMAN’S HEART For twenty-two-year-old Eithne McCarthy life is a series of endless days and nights. She is married to the man who fathered her son, but their marriage is in name only. Merman Joseph Spellman feels as though his life is spinning out of control. He’s feeling a dangerous and inappropriate attraction for the wife of his cousin Adam, King of MerLand Kingdom. Joseph contemplates living on Earth. Life on the planet would be better than staying on MerLand and fighting the attraction that gets stronger every day. Then he’s informed that it’s Eithne, Niamh’s younger sister, who is his Intended mate and not the Queen. The only problem is that she lives on Earth and is married with a young son. Will she be willing to leave everything behind and move to MerLand? THE MERMAN’S PRIZE Twenty-year-old Angela Braithwaite has grown up with parents who are both Rastafarians. Instead of being attracted to the men of her own race as a dutiful daughter, she’s had an eye for tall, blond men; the very last type of men that her parents would allow her to date or marry. Lucas Archer feels battle weary and exhausted from the events that have occurred over the last six years. He was lead guard responsible for ensuring the safety of the future King of MerLand and had failed miserably. He redeems himself by capturing the traitor and bringing him to justice. He’s rewarded handsomely for his efforts but is left still feeling dissatisfied. Then he sees Angela and realizes that she is his Intended mate, and a prize just waiting for him to claim. THE MERMAN’S CONQUEST Eighteen-year-old Mariam El-Kashef is about to get married to a man ten years older than her own father whom he owes more money than he can repay. In a last ditch effort, she goes to Sunny Sands Beach with a large mirror in the hope of transporting herself into an alternate universe as she’d once dreamed she had done as a child. Merman Lucius Archer’s life feels as though it’s spinning out of control. He never imagined that he and his identical twin Lucas would ever live separate lives: one on MerLand and the other on Earth. Lucas has found his mate on Earth; if Lucius doesn’t find his too, he will have to return to MerLand alone. They have grown up so incredibly close, that would feel like losing an arm. Then Lucius finds Mariam, his Intended and he will do whatever it takes to get her out of the sticky situation, but is either of them prepared for the repercussions of messing with a man dangerous enough to kill?
