    🧜‍♀️ Princess Neria of the merfolk is bound by an ancient oath to protect her kingdom's greatest treasure: the Tidal Heart, a gem that controls the ocean's rhythms. When a charming human pirate, Captain Kael, accidentally steals the gem during a shipwreck raid, Neria must venture onto land to reclaim it. Disguising herself as a human, she infiltrates his crew, only to discover the gem is slowly dying without its oceanic magic—and taking her people's survival with it. As Neria and Kael race against time to restore the Tidal Heart, they navigate treacherous waters of deception and desire. But Kael has his own secrets: he's not just a pirate but a royal heir seeking revenge against those who destroyed his family. When their conflicting loyalties surface and ancient enemies emerge from the depths, Neria must choose between her oceanic oath and the human who's captured her heart. In a world where love is the most dangerous current of all, two souls from different worlds must learn that some treasures are more precious than gems or gold.

    A Broken Trust - From their pens...

    Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was born on the 16th August 1846 at Standishgate, near Wigan. 
    After a good education she worked as a journalist for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and went on to become a widespread and popular writer of adventure and society novels. 
    As a feminist writer it is a little bizarre that she published as Mrs George Corbett.  Her most ardent feminist work was ‘New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future,’ though other of her works were also similarly themed and dealt with one of the great issues of the day in Victorian society. 
    She married George Corbett in Sheffield in 1868.  They went on to have 4 children, of which only 3 survived. 
    As a writer she was not overly prolific but was perhaps most admired for her female detectives.  During her literary career Detective books were all the rage and authors of both sexes attempted to bring new and unusual angles of characters and narratives before the voracious public.   
    Corbett’s first was in a collection of short stories ‘Adventures of a Lady Detective featuring Dora Bell'.  A later novel introduced a further detective in the guise of Annie Cory. 
    Elizabeth Corbett died on in 1930.

    They don’t believe in Christmas magic—until they make their own 
    Summer McKenzie hates the holidays. Maybe it’s because she’s an atheist who’s never had a reason for the season. Maybe it’s burnout from working at the second-best hotel in Yosemite National Park. Or maybe it’s because nothing has felt truly festive since she lost the love of her life in a climbing accident. 
    Still, even Scrooges have to do their jobs, and this year, Summer is determined to nab a promotion to sales director by throwing Granite Grove Lodge’s merriest masquerade yet. She’s not expecting anyone to get her out of her bah-humbug funk. She definitely isn’t expecting John Beecher. 
    With his punk-rock aesthetic and graphic designer’s eye, John’s talented at many tasks: creating seating charts, painting stunning landscapes, and helping out in a pinch. He’s also a fellow heathen who understands her grief in a way no one else has. As one party-planning catastrophe after another brings them closer, Summer starts to feel something she never thought she’d feel again: hope. 
    In the final days before Christmas, they fall for each other like a surprise Sierra Nevada snowstorm—hard, fast, and totally unplanned. Sweet, spicy, and full of heart, Love Me Merrily is a holiday novella for anyone who’s ever found joy in unexpected places and love on their own terms.
