Whirlpool. Forces of Nature, #2

One stubborn sheriff. One fearless outsider. And temptation pulling them under. Chelsea has spent years pretending she isn't hopelessly drawn to Braden Marley, the stubborn sheriff of Jaffrey's Cove. Unfortunately, Braden has spent those same years doing everything possible to keep his distance. As a member of the secret merfolk community, Chelsea knows the reason: emotions run dangerously deep among her people, and once bonds form, they're impossible to break.
But Braden's refusal to acknowledge the attraction simmering between them is driving her to distraction. Then Jamie Powell, a human marine archaeologist, arrives in town. Jamie is fascinated by the ocean-and instantly fascinated by Chelsea. When he suggests helping her make Braden jealous enough to admit his feelings, the plan seems harmless enough. Until emotions spiral out of control. Because Jamie is beginning to suspect Jaffrey's Cove is hiding something impossible.and the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Now temptation is swirling between all three of them-and no one may escape the whirlpool.
