Lainey Jane - but please, call her LJ - needs out: out of her dead-end job, her soul-sucking family, and the Louisiana bayous in general. So when a chance comes up to join a cruise-ship liner as a permanent staff member playing a mermaid for excited children, LJ jumps at it. The fact that it comes with a move to Sydney, Australia? Absolute bonus. But when her bunkmate bestie books her for a mermaid job on land, the life she thought she left behind shows up to haunt her, first in the form of wickedly hot and very off-limits Marcus "Mako" Dupre - and then other, more sinister forms. LJ thought the mermaid-on-land job was just a favour for a friend that came with a good paycheck. It turns out, favours have strings attached, and these ones might be strong enough to tangle LJ back in a past she'd do anything to forget, and whose resurrection could land her in prison... If only someone was around to help. Don't miss this instalment in the All I Want For Christmas series of standalone paranormal romances, full of the wit, humour and determination to overcome the odds you've come to love and expect! Liana Brooks once read the book GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and noted that both their biographies invited readers to send money (or banana daiquiris). That seems to have worked well for them. Liana prefers strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) and will never say no to large amounts of cash in unmarked bills. Her books are sweet and humorous with just enough edge to keep you reading past your bedtime. Liana was born in San Diego and in addition to there has lived in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kansas. We'd like to tell you where she is right now, but last we checked she was researching books on both Alaska and Africa. Not only are the bookstore algorithms breaking trying to track this lady, but we can't tell you where to mail that daiquiri. Your best bet is to try Twitter where you can often find @LianaBrooks talking about her four kids, her giant dog, and plans for world domination.
