After two centuries as an immortal pirate, Duke Proctor figures he’s experienced pretty much everything. Which is exactly when he finds himself held at gunpoint…by a mermaid. But the exquisitely lush blonde—whose eyes are deeper than the sea—is here for a reason. Someone has stolen from her and she’s certain Duke is behind it.
Annika Mare knows for a fact that the Sea Dog’s crew has her comb. In the wrong hands, it places Annika under the control of whoever wields it. But the comb has been taken—and working with this unbelievably sexy human pirate to recover it poses an entirely different kind of threat.
Now, these two immortals must find the thief, and fast. But there are other forces at work, bigger than Duke or Annika could possibly know. And a powerful artifact in the hands of evil isn’t nearly as dangerous as the sizzlingly-hot attraction that could engulf them both…
My Review
My rating: 4 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
We get mermaids in this one!
Who knew I needed a pirate and a mermaid falling in love. It was interesting to learn the differences Annika notices. We also learn more about the captain they left behind on a deserted island.
This can be read as a standalone but I recommend starting at the beginning of the series because there are bits of the past sprinkled through all the books.
Duke is held at gunpoint by a mermaid demanding her comb. It was given to the crew following the events of the last book. Annika is desperate to get her comb back. If it falls into the wrong hands they would be able to control her. To makes matters worse this means she hasn't been in the water in over a month.
Despite their rough meeting Duke vows to help Annika get her comb back, even reaching out to Department 13. Only for them to discover that her comb has been taken, an agent is missing and so are other relics.
Annika tries to keep Duke at arm's length but that gets hard the more time they spend together.
Thanks so much to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
Thanks for reviewing!
