Annie Parker plays her own part in keeping the mermaid legend of Bayberry Island alive and well. She owns her own erotic bakery on Main Street, featuring provocative—and delicious—mermaid cakes, and she writes sizzling romantic novels starring sultry sirens of the sea. So why is her love life going down with the ship? That is, until one stormy evening during the winter solstice, when romance literally lands on her doorstep.
 
The freezing rain of this nor’easter is more than enough to make Nathaniel Ravelle miss sunny LA, but he’s got a job to do—scout out the Bayberry Island mermaid legend for the TV show he works for, Truly Weird. But when he slips on the ice in front of an erotic bakery, he’s in for the weirdest experience of his life. When he comes to completely naked in the bed of a beautiful stranger, he wonders if he’s died and gone to heaven. And as he falls under Annie Parker’s spell, he begins to wonder if there might not be some truth to the lovers’ magic of the mermaid legend after all...
