Van Rivers needs a mermaid, and he needs one fast. Not too flirty—he doesn’t want to cause problems among the men working his estate in Canada’s Banff National Park. Perky and friendly like a fairytale princess, good with children. That was the extent of his mermaid shopping list, and that’s what arrives right on schedule for his niece’s birthday. Cleo Willey enjoys her life as a professional mermaid. It’s a bit nontraditional, but home life has always been a lonely thing for her. She dreams of having a happy family, but has no idea how to make it happen. When an unusual offer with a high salary attached comes her way, she leaves her native Florida for two wintery months at Eagle Hill. What she isn’t prepared for is an attractive new boss who can be both dark and brooding, and lovingly sweet. Just when things begin to heat up for the complex billionaire and his mermaid, mysterious happenings bring out Van’s darker side, and their budding romance comes crashing down. Can Cleo convince Van that everyone has it in them to change, and will he finally open his heart to the possibility that sometimes love does win, after all? Inspired by Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, Jane Eyre.
