Curvy beach babe Alessa Kokinos has scored the perfect life at the Yucatán's hottest island resort. She has a dream job caring for ocean wildlife, and every spring, her best friend, Dante, returns to the island as a surf instructor. The only thing that could make her happier would be if he finally realized how much he means to her. Dante isn't the typical human Alessa believes him to be. He's a hippocampus, a water horse shifter from the Mediterranean. Each year, his herd migrates back to the island to feed and bear their young in the tranquil turquoise waters. There is no safer place in all the world for the hippocampi - but for Dante, time is running out.
