Deja Black

Orin is a Guardian, a grandson of Neptune, and a formidable leader of the Atlantis military. His favorite thing to do? Care for his coral garden. But when a merman has friends, they make suggestions that can't be ignored, like taking a trip to the surface world. Orin would rather stay at home in the sea, but there may be the slightest chance he could find his mate as his brothers did before him. Gavin has been running for years from the life he suffered with his ex-boyfriend.
He's only recently decided to explore relationships again, but the man that captures his attention is a great deal more than he imagined. He can take this chance for happiness, or he could keep running. Should the two give up or try their hand at something new?Well, their friends may just have something to say about that.
