Avery Collins thought she had survived the Hudson River-and maybe the worst day of her life-only to discover that her rescuer was far from ordinary. Marina is a mermaid bound by ancient laws: no humans, no attachments, no interference. Yet she defied her people to save Avery, and now the city itself becomes their playground, battleground, and, unexpectedly, their home.

Between saltwater baths, awkward attempts at sarcasm, and disastrous first dates, Avery and Marina navigate the impossible pull between land and sea. As danger, secrets, and desire surge around them, both must decide if love is worth defying centuries of rules-and risking everything for a chance at forever.

A slow-burn, lesbian fantasy romance full of humor, heart, and the kind of chemistry that could melt even the coldest tide, Mermaid Rescues Human is the 38th installment in the Love in the Big Apple series.
