Prince Fionn is a strapping, dutiful young merman searching for a way out of an ancient fae bargain that has him trapped in an arranged marriage to a rival kingdom. When a soul bond unexpectedly ignites between Fionn and a human in the middle of a crowded club, it seems like fate has handed him a way out: a soul mate. But before Fionn can present his new mate to the king, he must win over the argumentative human who doesn't seem too receptive to being dragged underwater.

Rory is a disillusioned creel fisherman who feels trapped in his meaningless life on the west coast of rural Scotland. Though he's used to squaring up to bigger blokes to prove a point, Rory isn't ready for the day that a giant blue merman kisses him, throwing everything he thought about himself and his sexuality into question. What's worse, the harder Rory fights his inescapable attraction to the silver-haired monster, the more Fionn seems to win him over. Could a shared love of the ocean and the beckoning of adventure be enough to gamble on a new future?

The Merman's Betrothal is an M/M paranormal romance featuring a proud blue mer-prince and a grumpy Scottish fisherman. This is the second in a series of books each featuring a different non-human couple, set in the same world as The Walker Witch Files. (It's not necessary to read Cam & Lachy's storyfirst, but you may enjoy it more if you do.)
