EXCERPT

“I have found the Blades,” she stated evenly.

The crystal-coved hall fell completely silent. The guards ceased their advance. Not a sound was to be heard. It seemed even the walls were holding their breath. All eyes were sealed on her. Awe mingled with surprise.

“But the Blades,” Daerlot said, barely finding his voice, “were never meant to come to the elves.”

Memsy released a short sigh and closed her eyes. When she finally opened them, sadness etched her features, and a skim of tears brimmed her eyes.

“They did not come to me, Dala.” The endearing nickname in the midst of such grand company bespoke the grief now apparent on her face.

The patriarch’s brow furrowed as he tried to discern her meaning. After a moment, Memsy sniffed to stifle a sob and then turned back toward the grand entrance.

“Adianna,” she called gently.

“Adi…” Daerlot’s breath caught in his throat.

A long mass of auburn locks framing the round face of a child poked out from around one great golden door.

Memsy advanced a few steps toward the child, and bending over, she extended her hand, as if enticing a timid animal to approach. Then she gently spoke, “Adianna, my love. Come to Memsy.”

Thus invited, a smile spread over the little face. Relieved of fear, the child emerged through the door. Dressed in simple peasant’s garb of a mouse-brown smock and white apron, she was little more than four.

When the girl reached her side, Memsy lovingly ran her hand over the reddish-brown curls and smiled at her warmly. Heaving a deeper sigh than before, the sorci turned back to the platform, keeping her hand on the child’s shoulder.

“My Lords,” Memsy announced dolefully. “This is the legendary Durluki.” She then gazed back down, smiling sadly at the bright, trusting face, and mused, “The Blades Bearer.”

Mate to the Mermen cover

Mermen, Book 2

 

Fantasy Romance, Paranormal Romance, Shapeshifters, Reverse Harem

Date Published: 4/7/2023

 

Daisy Daniels never expected her temp job cleaning for three hunks on a
private island would lead to romance. She clearly hasn’t been watching
enough reality TV. Falling in love with one, let alone all three of the
Watersons, would be complicated enough without the burden of protecting
their secret. Ocean, Bayou, and River aren’t just celebrity treasure
hunters, they’re mermen.

Protecting the secret of her lovers is more challenging than Daisy ever
imagined, almost as challenging as learning to cook without the help of the
internet. Still, her life with the Triad would be perfect if River’s
father, the King of Atlantis, didn’t hate her, and if Kai, the Prince
of the Aegeans, wasn’t constantly causing trouble.

When karaoke night reveals Daisy has gift she has a lot more to think about
than the laundry. Saving the world was never in the job description. How can
she risk using her newfound gift when she could harm the three people she
loves most?

 

EXCERPT

River swore under his breath. He hadn’t expected his father to show
up. The old man’s timing couldn’t have been worse. In the
upheaval of the last twenty-four hours, they’d missed an important
call about a dive. That job couldn’t have come at a ghastlier time.
They needed the footage, but the wreck wasn’t in Aegean-controlled
currents. When they’d decided to dive it, they’d had no idea how
complicated their lives would become. He turned to Daisy. “This is my
father, King Delta, the ruler of Atlantis.” He returned his attention
to his father. “Father, this is Daisy. She’s my Triad’s
mate.”

Father snorted a rude, almost dismissive, sound. “A human?”
Father spoke out loud, but in Atlantean. “Why are you so intent on
destroying my faith that you’ll rule? I have given you time to come to
your senses, but I’m starting to lose patience.”

River bristled. He replied in English. “I will not allow you to
disrespect my mate.”

Daisy put her hand on River’s arm. “It’s
okay.”

He could see the compassion in her beautiful brown eyes. “No,
it’s not.” River put his arm around Daisy. Ocean and Bayou moved
to stand at his side.

King Delta sighed. “I see you and your Triad are in agreement,”
he continued in Atlantean, excluding Daisy.

“We are,” River said. “Triad always.”

“The seal must be found.” Father glared at Daisy a moment
before turning his attention back to River. “I can’t believe you
were so weak as to allow that pathetic excuse for a male to come into your
home and take what belongs to our kingdom.” He glanced at Ocean and
Bayou. “For all your talk of Triad, they’ve done nothing to help
you protect our legacy.” He pinned River with an intense look filled
with authority and anger. “River, you and you alone were entrusted
with the seal as my way to ensure you remembered your responsibilities.
Instead, you have mated with a human and let Prince Kai walk away with a
national treasure. What do you have to say for yourself?”

River’s throat tightened. Even as ridiculous as his father looked
standing on land in nothing but a cape, he still bore his position with an
aura of power. He could still make River feel like nothing with a glance. If
he tried to explain that Daisy would have died if he’d gone after the
artifact, would his father relent? Probably not. “I’m sorry,
Father.”

“Sorry will not get the seal back. Sorry will not change the fact you
tied your soul to a frail human. What are you going to do, my son?”
Father crossed his arms over his chest.

“We will help River get the seal back,” Ocean assured the
king.

Father’s brow creased as he regarded Ocean with disgust. “I was
not talking to you, traitor.”

River scowled. “Ocean would give his life for me and for our kingdom.
He is not a traitor.”

King Delta turned to Bayou. “And did you want the human too, monster?
Couldn’t you have talked sense into your prince? You know how easily
the vulnerable are destroyed. You know how weak a human is, and yet you
would allow your prince to tie you all to one female’s short
life?”

Bayou glared at the king. “She has the strength of a Triad
now.”

Few would have had the courage to do the same. River’s throat
tightened.

“You are all pathetic!” The king growled, shaking his fist at
River. “If the law allowed me to give the throne to your sister, I
would. If you do not regain the seal, I’ll have my army drag those
criminals you bonded with to the deepest, darkest prison in Atlantis.
I’ll make sure they stay alive, but in hellish misery.”

Ocean and Bayou both stiffened. River looked away, unable to meet the anger
and shame Father directed at him. “Father, please, don’t say
such things. Daisy is human and you might disapprove of my decision to form
our Triad but doing that would be beneath you. A king should never seek
personal vengeance. You’ve told me that many times.”

His father took a step closer to him. He raised his fist. “You dare
–”

Daisy stepped closer to the king. “I don’t know what
you’re saying to them but chill out.”

King Delta turned his attention away from River to glare at Daisy.
“Chill out?” he parroted in heavily accented English.

“Yes,” she said. “Chill. These are amazing men, and your
tone is clear no matter what language you’re speaking. They
don’t deserve a lecture. This is their home. If you can’t be
respectful, maybe you should leave.”

River, Ocean, and Bayou inhaled sharply in unison. No one had ever dared
tell King Delta to leave before now.

“I will not do this chill out! Fool human! You are of weak thoughts.
You give yourself to these males, but they are little fish. Weak
fish.” King Delta’s chin rose as he narrowed his eyes at
Daisy.

“Let me assure you, there’s nothing little about these
fish.” Daisy rolled her eyes and a small chuckle escaped. She looked
to River, and he could see love in her gaze. “They are strong and
brave.”

The king’s guard wore heavy tunics that fell to their knees. River
was glad for Daisy’s sake that they were mostly covered as the large
men approached her. Bayou was the first to make a protective move toward
Daisy. The guards, knowing full well how easily Bayou could destroy their
minds with gift, all stopped.

Daisy glared at the king of Atlantis, causing River to catch his breath in
fear for her. “Who’s the little fish now? You need all these big
guys to protect you from a human woman’s words?”

The king gave a derisive snort, but he held his hand up to stay his guard.
In Atlantean he said, “Don’t bother with this unarmed human.
She’s no threat to us.” Then he looked at Daisy and returned to
speaking English. “Your tongue is sharp, female. But in water you have
no protection from my wrath. Stay dry, woman of my son’s Triad, for
under the waves my anger is great.” He turned, his cape billowing
dramatically, then motioned for his guard to follow. His entourage tripped
over themselves in their haste.

River was quiet as he watched them go. Bayou had moved to put his arm
around Daisy. When they were gone Daisy turned to look at her Triad. She
tilted her head to the side as her brow furrowed. “What? Why are you
all so pale?”

Bayou stepped back to scowl at her. He started to pace. “That was
fucking stupid. If you see River’s father again, keep your mouth
shut.”

Daisy sucked in a sharp breath. Her lips pursed angrily, and her gaze
shifted on Bayou with wrath. River put his arm around her, tugging her
close. He picked up her long brown braid and tickled her nose with it. Her
soft, sensual giggles broke the tension. When she looked up into his face,
he had to kiss her. His lips caught hers and his kiss was hungry,
needy.

No one else had ever spoken up for him like she had. She’d had no
idea just how dangerous her actions were, but that blind need to protect his
heart fed his need to be close to her. When he broke the kiss, he put his
cheek on the top of her head. “Brave and foolish. You’re perfect
for us.”

 Couch surfing and temp jobs were a way of life for Daisy Daniels
after she aged out of the foster care system. She’s always taken life
one day at a time and gone with the flow. What she never expected is that
flow would lead her down a raging current of uncertainty about her life and
the world she knows.

River, Ocean, and Bayou Waterson need someone to keep their island home
neat and tidy, but they have a problem. They can’t trust any old
cleaning service. They need to find someone who will be willing to overlook
their differences. What they never expected was to find a live-in maid they
would all love.

When Daisy discovers the celebrity treasure hunters are really mermen, will
she be able to keep her head above water? An ancient prophecy brings danger
to their doorstep. Forces she never imagined are conspiring to destroy
everything that matters to her. The only thing that can save her is a bond
she can’t break. Saving the world definitely wasn’t in the job
description.

Daisy had slept — more like tossed and turned — at Sally’s the
previous night. It felt weird leaving her vehicle behind at the harbor, the
rusty hunk of junk being her most valuable possession. She’d been told
to bring a bag in case this worked out and she could spend the night
settling in. Everything she owned fit into a large suitcase and overnight
bag, so she decided to bring it all. After grabbing her pillow, she looked
at the small pile on the ground. So little to show for twenty-one years of
life. It caused a wave of melancholy to wash over her while locking the
car.

She’d looked for the boat called Siren. It didn’t take long.
The huge thing was no boat. This was a yacht. “Wow,” she
muttered to herself.

“Do you like her?” a male said from behind her.

Daisy jumped, but she didn’t look to see who’d asked.
“It’s pretty. I’ve never been on a boat
before.”

“Are you Daisy Daniels?”

When she heard her name, she turned. Her mouth went dry. She’d seen
an episode of his TV show with Sally here and there, but she’d always
been more interested in playing with her phone than the program. She vaguely
recognized this guy as one of the hotties Sally drooled over. He
wasn’t just TV pretty. This guy was hot. A total hunk. His long black
hair, casually tied back in a ponytail, made her a bit envious. He had a
black goatee and eyes so brown they could have been black. His skin, tanned,
and his upper body, powerful. His arms looked like they belonged to a body
builder. She opened her mouth, at a loss for words.

He grinned, as if amused. “You do realize this job is on an island.
The only way off and on is by boat. Are you sure you’re up for
it?”

Mort’s had already replaced her with another temp. She needed this
job. Nodding, Daisy dropped her overnight bag and stuck out her hand.
“I’m up for it.”

“River Waterson.” He shook her hand firmly.

Daisy picked up her bag. She couldn’t help wondering if it was
actually his name or a stage name for his reality show.

“Let me take something for you,” River offered. He gave her a
tight smile.

“You don’t have to do that, Mr. Waterson. It’s not
heavy.” Years of having things stolen made Daisy nervous to hand off
her belongings.

“Don’t worry, I won’t run off with it.” He held out
his hand. “And please, it’s River. Three Mr. Watersons could get
a bit confusing.”

Daisy nodded. Wanting to seem cooperative and make a good impression, she
reluctantly let him take the handle of her suitcase. He rolled it behind him
as they approached the boat.

They walked to the dock and then up a wobbly metal ramp. Daisy took hold of
the railing, feeling a little woozy.

“Careful. You’ll need to get those sea legs if we all agree
you’re a good fit,” River said.

Worry nibbled at the back of her mind. His words reminded her this
wasn’t a sure thing, but an interview. Whatever happened, she’d
just have to figure things out. Silently, she cursed Sally’s idea. It
wasn’t as if Daisy qualified as maid material. These guys would
probably see that. At least Sally would be obligated to let Daisy crash at
her place.

“Do you have time left on a lease somewhere?” River
asked.

Daisy mentally cursed. She still wasn’t totally sure how to frame her
lack of permanent address, so she didn’t sound flighty. And was this
guy some kind of mind reader or just super perceptive?

Bothvar Beorcolsson

Through fire and ice I will fight to find honor. Whether it be giants or
creatures of the night, I’ll fight. Pain is my comfort, and sorrow is
my companion. Death follows wherever I go. Even the sun hides from my
sight.

Bothvar they call me. My journey isn’t an easy one. It follows a long
and broken road full of the bones of those who I couldn’t save and
those who got in my way. My blades are soaked in the blood of my enemies,
but my heart is left in shattered pieces, broken by the costs of my actions.
All for what? Honor? Glory? I don’t know anymore.

Maybe I have gained honor, but all I have to show for it is pain, yet I
must carry on. I must earn my place among the halls of the gods so I can see
my loved ones again. That is why I carry on to fight again. And I will not
stop until I am reunited with them.

Whether it be giants or the gods themselves, I will always fight on.

Lura Syllana

I will do whatever it takes to save my family. Afterall, it is my fault
they were enslaved. If I had only listened to my father. If I heeded his
words and did what was right instead of what was easy they wouldn’t have had
to pay for my mistakes with their freedom. Now it is up to me to do whatever
it takes to find a way to free them.

Even if it means sacrificing myself and my own freedom. I don’t care
what happens to me. I’ll gladly pay any price to save them.

Of course, I said that, but I had no idea what was going to be asked of me.
What price I’d have to pay. I didn’t know what I’d have to
do to save them. Even so, I’d sacrifice everything to see them free.
Even my own freedom. Even my own soul. Which I will soon find out is the
very price I must pay.

Join Bothvar and Lura as they go through pain and sorrow and climb
mountains and cross seas, all to save and protect the ones they love. Follow
their journey as they discover true love, honor, and glory.

Broken Souls is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired
by Viking culture, but it is no way an accurate portrayal of historical
Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily
influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among
other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and
controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence,
blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics.
This novel includes The Bound Soul and The Damaged Soul which makes up the
first third of the book.
