The small coastal town in South Carolina was supposed to be a chance at a new life. It wasn't supposed to turn her whole world upside down. When a merman named Delmare arrives she must choose to protect his secret and find a way for them to be together or, give him up to her co-workers. But being human, can she take her place as Queen to the kingdom Delmare will soon rule over?
