Miles Ward finally has a chance with his long time crush Valerie Wingfield after saving her life from a masked man. Sure, there are things about Valerie he can’t explain. Her fangs and claws- he must have imagined them. She’s showing up in his dreams- just a coincidence. As his relationship with Valerie grows, he learns she has more “baggage” than normal. And sometimes, the issue isn’t loving some despite their flaws, but loving yourself first.

Miri's parents didn't mean to keep it a secret. It's just that when she started talking, she was as chittery as a dolphin. So they put off telling her. Oh, she knew she was adopted, liked her food extra salty, and could hold her breath an unbelievably long time. But she never would have dreamed it meant she was a mermaid. Besides, she doesn't have one of those slimy fish tails. She doesn't even like to swim in the deep end of the pool, much less in the ocean. Now she's supposed to live at the bottom of it? Then again, maybe it won't be all bad. There is the princess part, with the jewels and tiaras. And mermaids are pretty. They get to sit around all day brushing their hair and singing and -- Wait! Do mermaids wear clothes?

After a cataclysmic disaster, the leader of a group of survivors decides to reveal a secret that could change the course of their very existence.
