Erotic Contemporary Paranormal - Short Story

 

Somewhere over and under the sea – Present Day

 

Marina, a mermaid, is convinced that Samson, a merman, is her intended destiny as a mate.  Samson is not so sure, but, at her urging, he seeks the perfect pearl to present to her that could seal them together.

 

However, Samson loses the mollusk he was after to diver Michael Sandbar.  When Marina hears this news, she is determined to go to the ship where Michael is and retrieve it.    But she is not prepared for her reaction to the young, handsome top-dweller.

 

Many years ago, Michael’s father had taken a picture of a mermaid sitting on a tiny island.  That image has haunted him most of his life.  He can scarcely believe what he sees when he meets Marina .  She is the same mermaid in his father’s picture.

 

He wants to live in her world…she wants to live in his.  So where do Samson and the pearl fit in and what will Marina’s father, who is the Prime Minister of the kingdom where she lives, do when he finds out that his daughter has fallen in love with a human?

 

SOUL OF THE SEA is a pleasant, if a little predictable, story of discovery, hope and love.  Alison Page paints pretty pictures with pastoral words vivid descriptions.  Readers can almost smell the sea and feel the sand beneath their toes.  I recommend it.
