The Shipwrecked Mermaid — Blaze Ward

The tsunami didn't destroy the Pacific Northwest, but it was bad enough.

Rick cooks in a prison work camp during the cleanup, and dreams of opening his own bistro when he gets out.

Amaleti is trapped, far from the sea, her scientific mission in tatters, at risk of being discovered by the humans.

To escape and return home, she must trust a human prisoner, a felon, to save her life, and protect her from the rest of humanity.
