This seemed forbidden somehow.
Dangerous.

"I intend to take my time with you," he whispered. "To thoroughly enjoy every inch."

Detective Tyler Marx thinks the legends surrounding Blood Island are ridiculous. There were no such thing as mermaids, and there were certainly no sea creatures lurking in the water. When men start disappearing, he's sent to work the case, and all evidence leads him straight to Aeliana.

She is the most alluring woman on the island, and he's not entirely immune to her charms, but there's something dangerous and ethereal about her that makes him think she could be the one behind it all...

Aeliana has a secret.

She's a siren of the deep, sent by her Queen to sacrifice humans in an important blood rite. But when a detective is sent to thwart her plans, she has no choice but to include him. The fact that he awakens desires in her is irrelevant. Because Aeliana cannot let him live.

Will Marx discover what secrets this woman holds, or will he fall deep into the trance-and passions-of the siren's call?
