When Evan Ross traveled to the Bahamas, he wasn't expecting to have a brush with death. He wasn't expecting to fall in love. And he certainly wasn't expecting to discover that his new girlfriend has fins. Evan's trip to Andros Island was supposed to be like all the other diving jobs of his life. While he knew there were risks involved, he'd survived plenty of scrapes and he knew how to handle himself in the water. After all, he'd been in love with the ocean for as long as he could remember. Everything changes after his first dive on Andros. A cave-in separates Evan from his friends, leaving him stranded with no exit in sight and his oxygen quickly depleting. He finally submits to unconsciousness, only to wake up on the beach, still very much alive, but with all of his gear mysteriously missing. As he searches for answers, Evan finds himself drawn to the quiet Eione Waters, a free diver who knows more about the ocean than anyone he's ever met. Perhaps she is the key to Evan's inexplicable survival. After all, a mermaid's kiss can save a man from drowning.
