Mermaid Survival Rule Number 1: Stay away from intelligent women. Who are so my type. Fish are not great conversationalists.That's not why Niua sneaks aboard a research ship, or why she's stumbling around on legs, pretending she's not a mermaid, but years of living among uncommunicative sea life may explain why she's unwisely flirting with a marine scientist who's far too perceptive--and far too female--for Niua's safety.She needs to focus, but Ms. "Why Aren't You on the Passenger List?" keeps distracting her.In the best possible way.She's in over her head, and she doesn't have time to waste. She has a shipwreck to find, a treasure to reclaim, and a secret to protect.Before mermaids disappear forever.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave me a kiss...on the cheek.On the second day, she gave me a cup of coffee. (Actually, I shared hers as we drove to work.)On the third day, I told her she's still as hot as when we first fell in love all those years ago. (What? Are women not supposed to call each other hot?)On the fourth day, I dared her to kiss me for real.On the fifth day, the dare began to get out of hand...It all adds up when two scientists rekindle the spark in this lesbian holiday romance.

This was not the plan. After a career-threatening injury, backup dancer Rae Peters crashes at a friend's in a middle-of-nowhere college town to recover. She'd rather be onstage performing with a rock star than stuck in a swimming pool doing rehab exercises, but at least the people-watching is good. Make that person-watching, because she only pays attention to one person: the cute water aerobics instructor who's always lugging around accounting textbooks like she might be smart.Jori Burgess is a grad student with a young daughter and a blackmailing ex-boyfriend. She's got her hands full being a single mother, and studying, and teaching at the pool, and pretending to be someone she's not. The last thing she needs is one more complication, but Rae is one complication she can't resist.Rae has no trouble resisting, because she promised herself a long time ago that flirtatious straight girls were not for her. Even if they claimed they weren't that straight. Especially if they claimed they weren't that straight. Really, thank you, but no. She's not going to fall for someone who's got red flags plastered all over her very attractive...uh...personality.Being friends, though? Being friends is not a problem, and neither is dancing together, and neither is holding on a little longer than is strictly appropriate, and neither is...Yeah. This could be a problem.
