My kiss changed her life forever. I've spent my merman existence knowing that one day the ocean would send me the perfect human to be my mate. What I didn't expect was to lose her at sea. But I couldn't let the ocean have Ava. My merman soul knew she was my future. So to save her life, I changed her and gave her my merman spark. If only I didn't break merpeople tradition or promise Ava that she could remain on land. Because she's out of control. Her mermaid nature drags us deeper into the ocean and from the shore we both love. If that happens, I'm not sure we could ever escape the merpeople life. Ava will lose her family, and I'll lose my future on land. Worst of all, Ava might never love me. If that happens, I'll lose my forever without my spark.
