Fifty thousand dollars in exchange for three weeks of sheer commitment and consented submission. It was a simple proposal from the employer to an employee until feelings got in the way. Being a college student and the legal guardian of her two siblings, Arabella Lincoln has a lot on her plate. Money has always been the issue; more bills and expenses every single day, with only meagre part-time wages to cover it all. It was supposed to be pure business with no strings attached; do what he says, and get paid in the end. That was the agreement, and Arabella knew it was like a road to her way home. But what if there's more to him than he lets on? What if each layer she peels off renders her tied to his myriad shades of mystery pulling her closer like a super magnet? He's like a tornado, wrecking her up. But then he's like a touch of sun, thawing the frozen river in her after a long excruciating winter. Drawn to her world of normalcy and simple joy he never knew existed, Adrian Castle discovers more about himself, about her, and letting go becomes more painful than anything he's ever felt in his entire existence. But business is business. He needs to walk away when the deal is done. He's the last person to provide her the love and security she deserves. He's the danger. Will he let her in knowing full well that she doesn't belong to his world full of darkness? The world he so badly tried to escape.

The alphas mermaid I looked into the eyes of the alpha, his deep blue eyes you could get lost in. I was snapped out of my trance by being pulled by my brother. I looked at him confused untill I looked back at the alpha to see his eyes full of fury and being held by a beta and a pack worrier. "You are to weak to be my mate! You are a human! You will never succeed." He growled. I looked at him wide eyed. They don't know what and who we are, all I know is that the alpha wolf is my mate... I'm a mermaid, the last purple tailed mermaid and hunted by many, and I'm in hiding. I smiled and walked up to him changing my eyes to my bright purple and looking at him.
