The Marked Ones: Sexy Mermaid Romance, a fairytale for adults (The Fairytail Saga Book 1)

Mermaids have three purposes in life: to breed, to protect their environment and to keep the knowledge of their existence limited to pages in fairytale books.
Ivyanne Court is the personification of a mermaid princess; Breathtaking, pure, kind, sharp and strong, she is the envy of every one that she has ever met, human and mer alike. And yet she hasn’t known a day’s happiness since she came of age and was forced to abandon the human boy she loved, Lincoln Grey.
Ivyanne has always known that she was to marry one of ‘The Marked Ones,’ sons of a carefully cultivated bloodline created for the sole purpose of breeding with the royal family, and she had resigned herself to it. But now two betrothals have been severed in cruel twists of fate, leaving her untouched and lonely at twenty-eight, while being frozen both physically and emotionally, as a sixteen year old girl.
When her parents declare that she can choose her next match, Ivyanne is overwhelmed by the weight of her decision, so she begs permission to return to the Seaview Resort while she weighs her options, to live and work as a human, and gain some peace.
But when she arrives, she is startled to learn that Lincoln has never left the Seaview. He is now the owner, and he has been waiting a decade for her return. Falling back in love with Lincoln comes naturally to her, and yet the Marked men were chosen for her for a reason, and they're not about to let their princess slip idly through their fingers and into the arms of a human without a fight.
