I Betrayed the Abyssal Merman Twice—Then He Claimed Me as His Mate

Marine researcher Nerissa once helped her fiancé hunt the rare Abyssal Siren Blacktide, a choice that ended with his death as he protected her. Reborn before that disaster, she is determined to change his fate and carefully wins back his trust with gifts, songs, and the Entwining Dance. Yet when Blacktide again suspects she may betray him, he strikes her boat, places his life-bound pearl in her hands, and claims her as his mate.
