"More than a century ago, lighthouse keeper Linus Harris left his
beloved wife and waded into the ocean with three other men to
reunite with their mermaid lovers. The mysterious Mermaid Mutiny of
1888 has become legend for the residents of Cradle Harbor, Maine,
honored by the town's Mermaid Festival every August, when wind
chimes are hung from seaside porches to drown out the alluring
sound of mermaid song. "
For thirty-five-year-old Tess Patterson, the legend is more than
folklore; it's proof of life's magic. A hopeless romantic who is
profoundly connected to the ocean in which she lost her mother,
Tess ekes out a living as a wood-carver and longs to find a love as
mystical as the sea. But when she's hired to carve the
commemorative mermaid sculpture for the coming festival, a chance
to win the town's elusive acceptance might finally be in her grasp.
For Tom Grace, life's magic was lost at eighteen, when the death
of his parents left him to care for his reckless brother, Dean. Now
thirty-five and the new owner of Cradle Harbor's prized
lightkeeper's house, Tom hopes the quiet town will calm Dean's
self-destructive ways. But when Tom discovers Tess working on her
sculpture, an unlikely and passionate affair ignites between them
that just might be the stuff of legend itself--even as it brings to
the surface a long-buried secret that could tear everything apart.
