The Mighty Hunter
By Michelle M. Pillow
Lords of the Abyss Series Book #1
After her ship is destroyed, scientist Bridget is shocked to wake up in a submerged city known as Atlantes, where she encounters her rescuer — a sexy merman who plans to claim her as his wife…
Caderyn is the sexiest – and perhaps craziest – man Bridget has ever laid eyes on. He may have rescued her from death, but who’s going to rescue her from him? With all the right moves, the man is a walking seduction that’s too hard to resist. Sparks fly. Desires heat. But there’s one small problem. He claims to be a merman and says they’re trapped in the lost city of Atlantes, living on a cursed island deep within the ocean.
