Official synopsis Publisher
Desire. Hunger. Secrets.
Captain Killian Quinn, leader of the offshore fishing boat Dawn Chaser, is no stranger to danger. But when a distress call leads him to a wrecked ship, he finds only splintered wood and one lone survivor: Lorelei Roth. Her memory is shattered, and the magnetic pull between them is instant. Offering her shelter in his remote seaside cottage, Killian is drawn to her–but so is something far darker.
Lorelei is the last survivor of The Osprey, and her nightmares are only the beginning. Plagued by strange dreams and sleepwalking episodes, she can’t escape the violent hunger gnawing at her from within. Worse, she craves raw flesh–and soon, she discovers the truth: she is descended from the Merrow, ancient mermaids who devoured sailors. Her survival depends on a terrifying secret–feeding on human flesh.
As Killian grows suspicious, the stakes rise. Will he uncover Lorelei’s monstrous truth before it’s too late? And when the ocean calls her name, will she resist–or give in to the deadly hunger threatening to consume her?
Will Killian be her salvation–or her next meal?
