Merman's Touch — Dee J. Stone

Cassie Price and her merman boyfriend, Damarian, have declared their eternal love for one another and can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together. Damarian is slowly adjusting to life on land and Cassie is preparing for her first semester of college. But when an accident on the beach kills an innocent girl, they wonder if the merpeople have anything to do with it. Damarian rushes back home to sort it out and hopefully come back with good news. But he never returns. Cassie knows something's wrong. Unable to wait any longer, she enters the ocean, desperately searching for the love of her life. What she discovers down in the sea is something worse than she could have ever imagined. It's up to Cassie to save her merman -- but it may be too late.
