Call of the Sea

Genderbent Little Mermaid retelling meets Brave in this debut NA Fantasy Romance about a fat human princess who dreams of a life of adventure on the ocean. Perfect for fans of Kerri Maniscalco and Legends & Lattes. Kenna has never wanted the life ahead of her; trapped in her castle and married to someone she does not love. She dreams of a life of adventure, exploring the ocean, searching for mermaids. Except mermaids don't exist. At least, that's what she has always been told. Unfortunately, her plans for exploration are thwarted. Every heir must wed, and with war on the horizon, her time is up. Five suitors are vying for her hand, but Kenna vowed never to marry someone only after her crown. Only, one of them doesn't seem to care about her title, refusing to even use it. Just as she begins to consider opening up to him, he disappears. Kenna chases after him and learns his secret, before a storm wrecks her boat. Finding herself stranded on an island with him, Kenna has no choice but to trust him to nurse her back to health. With the tension growing, and sparks she doesn't trust flying between them, Kenna has to decide how to balance the desires of her heart and her duty to her people. And how far she's willing to go to learn the whole truth. "The story is fast-paced, packed with action, drama, and just the right touch of spice. The romance? Chef's kiss. That slow burn delivered, and the enemies-to-lovers moment hit perfectly. A fun, swoony mermaid read that kept me hooked from start to finish!" - Goodreads Reviewer "Absolutely loved this! The Little Mermaid vibes and the twist on that, the Brave elements, the representation, the romance! Everything came together so well and created a story I couldn't put down. I love this world and these characters and I would love to see more of them. This was a great mermaid story with a heroine learning to believe in herself and her worth, and it was beautiful." - Goodreads Reviewer Emily B Rose grew up addicted to storytelling in all its forms, and always knew she would have a career in something creative. With a bachelor's degree in creative writing, she settled on books as her favorite form of storytelling, though you will still find her glued to the tv watching her favorite sitcom or nerdy movie series, or belting show tunes in her apartment (to the annoyance of her cats).California born and raised she can be found wherever the closest beach or bookstore is, or curled up at home trying to convince her cats to cuddle with her 24/7.Emily is a proudly fat, demibisexual, ADHD woman who wants her stories to reflect people often ignored, especially in love stories. She hopes her books will make people feel less alone, and affirm that everyone deserves the love story of their choosing.
