Averlon

Mermen, pirates, and pleasure slaves, oh my!

Faolan MacGumerait doesn't know what to do. He's been sold into indentured servitude by his family, only to find out they actually sold him to pleasure slavers.

Bought by the feared pirate, Captain Vincent Deverell, and pressured to give up his virginity, Faolan barely dares to dream of escape. His only hope is to fend off Deverell's advances as long as he possibly can.

Crown Prince Averlon feels a tug on his soul and knows his mate has made himself known. As the future king of the merpeople at Zilacen, he's been pressured into marrying to give his father time to grieve his lost mate. But Averlon refuses to marry without love. But this tug promises he can give his father what he wants as soon as he locates his mate.

But when he and his bodyguard find the pirate ship, things take a terrible turn. And to make things more interesting... Averlon's mate is human.

How is a mer prince supposed to mate with a human? How would he rule his people if his mate can't breathe underwater?

Putting that thought aside, Averlon vows first to get himself and his bodyguard free of their imprisonment and then free his mate. Particulars can be figured out when they are free and the pirate ship is in splinters.

That is... if they can get past the guards' medallion keeping them from being able to fight back.

Follow Averlon and Faolan as they battle fierce pirates and their own insecurities to claw their way to their happy ever after. Pre-order Averlon today!
