Mountain Ink: Mountain Mermaids — Darlene Tallman

After nearly one thousand years under water thanks to Tamsin's curse, Dax Carlson feels he will never find his mate. Each month, it gets more and more difficult to return to the surface for the three days he's allowed. But he's not quite ready to throw in the proverbial towel and instead, decides that he will finally get the tattoo he's been plotting with the new owner of Mountain Ink, Jesse Halstead.Racine Halstead is in over her head and she knows it, having promised her uncle that she would run his tattoo shop while he sees to his father's estate. A native of Aurora Falls, she's aware of the legend as she also does caretaking duties at several of the monthly visitors' cabins. She just never expects that one will come in wanting a tattoo or that he'll wind up being her mate.*Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult themes and language, as well as a sexy merman!*
