Yo Ho Ho and Buttered Rum Sundae #SnipSun #snippetsunday @KMNBooks @JudgeYourBook

I'm sharing another snippet from Yo Ho Ho and Buttered Rum Sundae that will be released sometime in the summer of 2022. This is the 2nd tale with Sirena a Jack from Mermaid Cove and Seaside Sundaes.

Sirena's mother abandoned the family when Sirena was only a teenager. She's suddenly come back for a visit and has brought with her a surprise.

Here's the Snippet

Sirena did follow, but once she reached the bottom step, she opened her mouth to demand answers, only her words sputtered to a halt. Her gaze landed on a tall, golden-haired man standing near the opening of the cave. He wore dark cargo pants and nothing more as the water splashed onto the rocked floor and pooled around his bare feet. Her gaze traveled up his body, and for a moment, she couldn’t look away from his broad shoulders and tapered waist. Beautiful, she thought, then cursed and focused on his face, which didn’t seem to help matters. His full lips curved as if he knew what a picture of masculine beauty he represented. He isn’t human, she realized. Chiseled jaw, sea-green eyes, and in plain sight, the red cap of their kind shimmering with Merrow enchantment. She would have demanded who he was and why he stood in her cave as if he’d been invited, but before she could find her voice, her mother did the honors.

“Sirena, my love, this is Prince Calder.”

Mermaid Cove and Seaside Sundaes

Short story FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS' ONE SCOOP OR TWO SERIES!

One selfless act as a teen unfairly caused Sirena Seafair to forfeit her ability to shift into a mermaid.

Fifteen years later, her mundane life is about to change when Jack O'Casey arrives in the Irish town of Grimm Nitch and opens his restaurant, Mermaid Cove. The man is bound and determined to make Sirena his no matter what. But if by chance, Sirena can find a way to reclaim her life as a mermaid, will she leave Jack and her human life behind in exchange for a life beneath the sea? Or will surrendering her heart to love be the magic she's been waiting for all along?
