Sealed With a Kiss

by Harley Wolfe · Cinnamon Roll Monster Romance

Marnie Beck can make a room full of strangers laugh at a hermit crab's messy divorce. What she can't do is talk about herself, keep her aunt's failing rescue aquarium open past summer, or stop expecting every good thing to leave the way her mother left — into the sea, without looking back. Then a storm hands her a drowning seal that turns out to be a very naked, very confused man. Ronan has been alone for four hundred years, and he has one rule the sea taught him early: everything leaves. He did not plan on a woman who buys the good salmon, jokes like it's a form of first aid, and treats a washed-up sea creature like he's worth keeping. He definitely did not plan on the tide following him around town like a lovesick dog he can't call off every time she makes him feel something. Marnie's got sixty-one days to save the aquarium. Ronan's got until the first autumn gale to decide whether he goes back under for good. And a glossy marine-park chain wants to buy the whole coast out from under both of them. She's the girl who gets left. He's the selkie who, for the first time in four hundred years, is thinking about staying. The tide always comes back. Maybe, this once, so will he. Laugh-out-loud funny, open-door steamy, and the anti-tragedy selkie romance where he chooses shore. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, no cheating. Standalone in the Cryptid Comforts series.
