Guarding the Mermaid - Langlais, Eve

. .

Résumé :
Duty or love? Will a guard make the right choice? Becky needs a scoop to make her mark in the journalism world and gets her chance when she's hired as a nurse for a top-secret clinic hidden in the Rockies. What she doesn't expect is to become one of the patients and kept prisoner. The doctors are playing God and have found a way to change people. Change them into something else. In her case, she becomes a mermaid. The only one of her kind and about to be sold to the highest bidder unless she can convince the man guarding her to set her free. Jett ain't no hero, yet, he finds himself rescuing Becky, over and over. Even starts liking the talkative nurse, which is a bad idea. He knows better than to get involved with a woman. Didn't his daddy teach him love always hurts? It hurts, alright, especially because he ends up having to make a choice; doing his job or protecting Becky. Is it even possible for a man to love a mermaid? Might be time to take some scuba diving lessons to find out.
