Дина Лампитт «The Mermaid's Kiss»

The myths are about to come true...

When, at the ripe age of forty-two, Major Hugh Delamare decides it's time to settle down, he never could have dreamed that the young and pretty Millicent Dwyer would agree to take his hand, and together, they begin their married life at the Major's idyllic island retreat off the coast of England.

But after a strange accident in the sea, lovely Millie appears to lose herself. Pregnant and isolated by a mysterious condition, she sits day after day gazing out to the sea, and the Major veers between his desires for a happily married life and the fear that Millie might never be the same again.

And when the child is born, it becomes clear that the mystery is only just beginning to unravel — and that Mermaid Island is a lot more than it seems...
