The summer has never been so sweet. Lydia hadn’t planned to spend the summer poolside. She was supposed to get an internship in the city and spend nights with her girlfriend. Instead she’s single and making minimum wage as a country club lifeguard. Chlorine might dry out her scales, but it’s not all bad. At least she can flirt on company time. Stephanie is a bombshell mom with a fortune five-hundred job but without a wedding ring. She might have baggage, but it’s designer–and she’s happy to share the wealth with Lydia in exchange for some lessons in fishfolk biology. Lydia isn’t sure she’s ready to navigate exes, kids, or even a proper relationship. But summers never last forever. Will this situationship be any different? “Sweet and seductive, MOTHER OF PEARL is a nice, breezy read for fans of fishfolk. A.A. Fairview has packed a ton of heart into this sapphic novella.” –Morgan Dante, author of PROVIDENCE GIRLS "MOTHER OF PEARL is a delightful sweet and spicy novella, perfect for thirsty readers seeking a sapphic, monster-normative treat." - Elle Porter author of HEIR TO THE AUTUMN COURT
