My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light Slept with a mermaid one fine night. From this union there came three: A porpoise, a porgie and the other was me. Jack studies accountancy, lives with his maiden aunt in an upright Victorian household, and smells like a fish. The fishy smell drives girls away faster than they can be introduced. When Jack visits his lighthouse-keeper father on the Eddystone rocks, he meets his mother for the first time since he was a baby. She's a mermaid. Jack's mother sends him on a quest to find his two lost brothers, a porpoise and a porgie fish. Along the way, Jack falls in love, battles carnival hucksters, and is scolded by a porpoise... and that's before he meets the mermaids.

One day, a letter arrives informing her that she has inherited a small fortune from her grandmother, an infamous courtesan.

He's now third in line to his uncle's duchy, after his aging father and one sickly cousin. Aboard the Whistler, they become friends, but can their fledgeling romance survive the whirl of London society, or their families' interference?

Darna is just a guildswoman, or so she'd like to think, but her alleged father was the prince of a backwater province. Now he's been assassinated, and her uncle has put a price on Darna's head to secure his claim on the throne. Darna takes her lover's place in a job that will take her away from the city and, she hopes, away from assassins' daggers. Her new employer, the prince, is irate to find that the able-bodied man he hired has been replaced by a limping woman. According to the contract, they're stuck together for the year. The prince is arrogant, but also intelligent and well-read. As winter closes in, their late night conversations turn from sea walls to more intimate territory. Meanwhile, the province's lost dragon reappears, and even the prince can see it. This book is the fourth in the Anamat series.
