A haunting voice beckons from the sea, encouraging her to come to him. No doubt, he was singing to her, but even his seductive voice cannot quell the fearful worry when meeting an unseen admirer. As Lady Cynthia follows the melodious singing, she discovers a man’s clothing piled neatly near the shores’ edge. Looking about for their owner, a naked man emerges from the sea, like a water God. Before dressing, he claims to have come a long way to find her…
Prince Armand recognizes Cynthia, having her featured beauty detailed by his hostess. Having her admire his nudity with innocent interest excites him. Glad she approves of his male form, for she will see much of it for the rest of her life. After donning his clothes, Armand escorts her back home, with promises to see more of her…as well.
A sweet short story, The Merman instantly captures the reader’s attention, dazzling with intriguing seduction as lusty tension quickly builds between the young couple. Ms. Wildes continues to pen superb characters that breathe life into her imaginative historical stories. Cynthia has loved the sea since a child, her father teaching her to swim out of fear she would drown. Adventurous and studious, she goes against appropriate female respectability, though traits Armand finds attractive.
For two decades, he waits for the woman who is to become his mate. Now, Armand comes to the Cornish coastline to bring her home, to his underwater kingdom. First, he must tell of his world and the people she will live amongst, after he joins with her in the tradition of people. He hopes that she will believe his tale.
The Merman charms and enchants, delivering an absorbing read.
