What doesn't wipe out you sometimes makes you wish it got.... Priddy's a lost spirit in a part of Cornwall the travelers do not get to see. He's young, sweet-natured, and beautiful, but that isn't enough to attain escape velocity from his deadbeat town and rotten family life. He's a drifter and a dreamer, and self-preservation isn't his strong suit. An accidental overdose of any nightclub medication leaves him fractured, hallucinating, with too many vital circuits deep-fried to function in a tough world. Whenever a friend offers him winter work in a lighthouse - little or nothing to do but press the occasional button and keep the house windows clean - he gratefully allows. His plans to live quietly and stay out of trouble don't last very long. A ferocious Atlantic surprise washes a stranger to Priddy's lonesome shore. For any shipwrecked sailor, the new arrival seems very composed. He's also handsome as hell, debonair, and completely unconcerned by Priddy's dreadful recent. Priddy has almost given up on the prospect of any kind of friendship, and a new boyfriend - let alone a six-foot beauty with eerily good swimming skills - out of the question entirely. But Merou seems to see undreamed-of promises in Priddy, and when they hit the water together, Priddy must adapt to Merou's potentials too, and fast. His lover from the ocean might be a mere mortal from the waist up, but south of that line.... Far-flung western world Cornwall has 100 mermaid tales. Priddy's loved the testimonies all his life. Now he must confront a wildly impossible truth. Merou's life depends upon his courage and durability, in case Priddy can only just find his way in the incredible world opening up all around him, all the ocean and a real human lifetime needn't be adequate to contain the love between merman and mortal.
