Cruel and Splendid Mermaids: A Mermaid Fantasy Series (Broken Mermaids Book 1)

Dive into an epic adventure filled with magic, flirtation, and surprising twists in the first book in bestselling author Julie Catherine’s Broken Mermaids series – like ‘Mean Girls’. With mermaids. And magic. And a hot, off-limits man. Ellara Merme has been trying to become a siren for nineteen long years. In mermaid time, that’s freakin’ ancient. So when given the chance to mate with a rescued sailor, she dives in as fast as she can. Her plan to bed the shipwrecked guy busts immediately– turns out the boat captain is a twenty-year-old girl. But the two can help each other. If the mermaid saves her life, the first mate agrees to initiate the would-be siren into the human dating world. Teach her to flirt like the girls on land, help her to mate... with that sort of training, Ellara can take any guy in the world! Only one man is off-limits: the boat captain’s handsome older brother. The girls strike a deal. But correcting her mermaid destiny and embracing a budding friendship causes Ellara big problems. The women come from very different environments with social customs and norms the other doesn’t understand.
