Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid, but she's never lived in the ocean. War
has ravaged the seven seas ever since the infamous Little Mermaid
unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality. Lia has grown
up in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer, hidden among Malibu's
seaside mansions. Her biggest problems are surviving P.E. and keeping
her feelings for Clay Ericson in check. Sure, he's gorgeous in that
cocky, leather jacket sort of way and makes her feel like there's a
school of fish swimming in her stomach, but getting involved with a
human could put Lia's entire community at risk.
So it's for the best that he's dating that new girl, right? That is,
until Lia finds out she isn't the only one at school keeping a
potentially deadly secret. And this new girl? Her eyes are dead set on
Clay, who doesn't realize the danger he's in. If Lia hopes to save him,
she'll have to get closer to Clay. Lia's parents would totally flip if
they found out she was falling for a human boy, but the more time she
spends with him, the harder it is for her to deny her feelings. After
making a horrible mistake, Lia will risk everything to stop Clay from
falling in love with the wrong girl.
