Caltha Dooran is the toughest, fiercest shape-shifting mermaid in the western seas. She has three Clans to rule, and no time for romance. But when a warlock, Jonty, turns up and asks her to come with him to London to capture a water monster, she can't say no. In London, away from her duties, her attraction for Jonty grows... and they soon fall under each other's spell. But will his past and her responsibilities pull them apart, or can they find the only true magic, the one that binds two souls together?
The best in the series!
Caltha is head of the three clans of Merfolk in the Morvann Islands. It’s a duty—and a burden—that she took upon herself when her mother died, a tragedy that Caltha feels partially responsible for. When she is called to London to help the warlocks find a water monster who threatens the underground systems and water levels in the city, Caltha welcomes a reprieve from her duties and an opportunity to see the great city her father had so often mentioned to her. It doesn’t hurt that the handsome warlock sent to fetch her, Jonty, forms an immediate attraction with her. When she finds the monster, she gets a shock. Even greater shock is the bond she and Jonty build. But will her people accept a mostly human, sometimes warlock, and her as a couple? And what about the monster? Dark forces have plans for him.
Loved this book! I’ve enjoyed every book in the series (A Merman’s Choice, Music for a Merman, and A Mermaid’s Holiday (in Desire Me Again)), but the characters of Caltha and Jonty are rich and so realistic, you forget they’re supernatural. Caltha is strong and bold. Jonty is vulnerable but brave and giving. The dangerous entities they join together to fight make worthy adversaries. As a sidelight, I think this book is a bit steamier than the others, so you know I loved it! Highly recommended.

"A Merman’s Choice introduced Caltha, a sensual, feisty woman who clearly deserved a tale of her own… ‘Mermaids Marry in Green’ is that story! Steeped in Welsh mythology, ‘Mermaids Marry in Green’ is intense and character-driven. The story reveals a tender, vulnerable side to the mermaid Caltha that we didn’t see in ‘A Merman’s Choice’. Her love interest, Jonty, is a powerful warlock struggling to move past his own demons as he begins falling for Caltha. This is a truly bewitching tale, and well worth the reading. Plus, you’ll learn what an ‘afanc’ is. So check it out!"

"OH MY MERMAID TALES, MERMAIDS MARRY IN GREEN WAS AWESOME WITH A SIDE OF WOW! Really this book was phenomenal! Exciting, adventurous, swimming in passion, uniqueness and a romance that sizzled right off the pages. This story felt imaginative and well written and definitely colorful in a way I haven't seen in a story in a while. I LOVED that. This was such a great read with a storyline that flowed beautifully and kept me entranced from beginning to end. The characters are rich in personality and the romance is amazing. To say I am impressed is putting it mildly. I couldn't be happier with this amazing story! Mermaids Marry In Green gets a SPECTACULAR FIVE BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN STARS!"

A pile of twigs shuddered and slid to the side. Two yellow eyes peered at her out of the tangle of wood and litter. Excitement exploded in Caltha’s chest, rocking her whole body. She’d found him! But she strove to keep her voice low and soft.
“Afanc?”
A reptilian head that looked like a crocodile’s, but smaller, pushed through a plastic bag. The mouth opened, revealing a row of sharp teeth. “Morwenna?” the creature hissed, in Caltha’s language.
She tried to repress the trembling in her body and appear calm so the creature wouldn’t take fright. “Yes, I am a mermaid.” She lifted her webbed hands to show him. The afanc extended a furry paw, tipped with powerful claws. Caltha brushed the damp fur with her fingers. “I’m Caltha.”
The afanc let out a sigh. “Morwenna Caltha,” he said. He stared at her with shining eyes full of hope. “I am lost. Can you help?”
Caltha’s mind went blank with surprise. She’d expected a powerful water monster with awesome magical powers, not this vulnerable animal pleading for assistance.
The afanc stretched his neck towards her. “Please?”
Compassion engulfed Caltha. “Of course I’ll help you.”
The question was how. She’d been so focused on locating him, she hadn’t really given any thought as to what she would do when she found him. She studied his reptilian head and large, furry body. No way would he go unnoticed in a city full of humans. And dangerous warlocks were on his trail. Her mind worked overtime, searching for solutions. Would he follow her willingly, or would she have to trap him? He seemed friendly now, but he might panic if she tried to lead him away from his familiar surroundings. And how could she keep him hidden?
