The newly extended version of "A Mate from the Deep" is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! This book is a Silver Isles short story and technically book 2.5 in the series. (Amazon doesn't let us enter 0.5 books in a series). *This short story was offered for free in a Prolific Works giveaway, but I've added two additional chapters (4000 more words). Luca is a shark tailed merman from the Northern Silver Isles. All his life, he was trained to guard the royal Muir family. When an incident leaves him too injured to continue in the palace guard, he is devastated. What kind of life can he have without duty? Kristoff is a tentacle tailed merman and the general of the armies in the Kingdom of the Deep. He has very little reason to trust anyone from the other kingdoms in the Silver Isles, but the mating call is luring him to the north. How can he resist meeting who fate intended for him? When the two men meet, they discover they might just be exactly what each other needs. Author's Note: 12,000 words. This is a mermen, fated mates, omegaverse short story with no angst and no cheating, just a HEA. It is book 2.5 in The Silver Isles series.
