The Rusalka and Mr. Right

<p>I'm Marina your friendly neighborhood rusalka. Oh don't worry I'm not stealing men's souls and luring them to a watery grave. I can survive on borrowed sexual energy and with a college campus full of horny frat boys handy I'm always full.</p><p> </p><p>Of course not everyone is happy that I've chosen a peaceful harmless existence in Pine Ridge-especially Koshchei. You could call him my demon overlord but petty vengeful jerk works too. When the Big K discovers my disobedience he's determined to make me pay. I need to exploit an ancient loophole-and fast. I'm going to need a husband. </p><p> </p><p>When I meet Kev I think I've met an easy mark. He's strong and protective kind and caring and always makes me laugh. Best of all he doesn't even realize the woman he's dating is a monster. Love is blind-and that's a problem. The one man I need to use is the one I can't bear to hurt.</p><p> </p><p>***</p><p> </p><p>I'll admit it. I have a thing for damsels in distress. I'm a lover not a fighter. A healer not a hurter. When I move to Pine Ridge and meet Marina I just can't figure her out. She draws me in like no one else but she keeps trying to push me away. Our physical chemistry is off the charts but she seems genuinely freaked when I want to turn a fling into forever. </p><p> </p><p>When I find out she's in danger from a mysterious dude named Big K I don't even have to think about what I'll do. I'm going to show this joker that you don't mess with my girl-even if Marina warns me I may end up dead trying to help her. </p><p> </p><p>So all I have to do is deal with Marina's crazy ex keep my new job and convince the woman I love that she should marry me. What could go wrong?</p><p> </p><p><em>The Rusalka and Mr. Right </em>is a steamy standalone in the Pine Ridge Universe.</p><p> </p>
