Water So Deep

Seventeen-year-old Emma Harris is drowning on dry land. No one knows whats happening to her and shed like to keep her evolution from human to mermaid a secret but the truth is getting harder and harder to hide. From her adoptive family from her friends and especially from the irresistible James Phelps. Her time in the ocean is spent dodging a possessive merman while her time on land is split between caring for her special-needs brother and squeezing in every last possible moment of human life. She soon realizes falling for James is unavoidable when he constantly comes to Emmas rescue and somehow manages to see through her carefully constructed icy facade to the vulnerability she lives with every day. Everything about James makes Emma yearn for a life on land she just cant have. When Emmas brother disappears on her watch James is the only person she trusts to help her save him. But even if they can save her brother nothing can prevent her return to the sea. Whether she likes it or not Emma is changing-unable to breathe without yielding to the tide-and its only a matter of time before shes forced to surrender forever.
