      Jet crackled with energy and a directness that cut through his usual barriers and demanded sole focus on her own unique qualities.

      She leaned closer, a glint of desire sparkling like pixie dust in her enlarged pupils, and Landry’s jaw tensed at his body’s immediate tug to draw closer.

      She touched his chest with one hand, and even through his thick cotton shirt, the heat of her skin traveled downward, and his stomach tightened.

      All reason fled. He had to feel her, taste her, claim her—

      “These contemporary mers are a far cry from Disney characters, theme-park performers and creepy she-devil myths of the sea. Settle in for an exciting swim with a new breed of sirens.”

       Prologue

      Away down deep in the ’Bama bayou,

      You’ll find a mysterious Gothic brew

      Where Spanish moss drapes ancient oaks,

      And sea-slithery lizards and gators croak.

      The swampy water creeps ever in,

      And lured down many a man has been

      By magical, whispering, haunting sounds

      Where not another soul is found.

      Stay out of the water, whatever you do,

      Ain’t no telling what will become of you
