|~1~| Eden Walseworth has finally returned to London, ready for her long-awaited reintroduction to society. On the cusp of being labeled a spinster by the ton, she's reluctantly thrust into the season by her overbearing older brother and spiteful aunt. Just as her chances of avoiding a loveless marriage appear bleak, an unexpected request for help from an old family friend presents a glimmer of hope. Seizing the opportunity to lessen her matrimonial prospects, Eden agrees-only to discover that the family in need includes none other than Benedict Bridgerton, a man with whom she has no intention of being civil. All rights of characters go to Julia Quinn (apart from the Walseworths).

Hi, my name is Bella, and I'm just the ordinary teenage girl. Um, WRONG! I'm a mermaid. Yeah, you read it right. A mermaid. I live off the coast of Hawaii where sailors come and go. Oh, and no, I'm not some creepy siren who drags men out to sea. I'm just a peaceful little mermaid. Anyways, one day while coming close to the shore, I saw a very attractive young boy surfing. And when a wave took him under and he didn't come up, I swam to him and rescued him.. And I'm pretty sure he saw me before he blacked out. Woops. All copyright to XxCloverheartxX Story in editing
