WHAT THE SEA DECIDES TO KEEP, IT KEEPS FOREVER. Trick is a dratsie shifter, a river otter. He is charming, loads of fun, and a little bit slippery. He's running from a past he can't forget, and he's landed unexpectedly in the chaotic comforting embrace of a small town cafe and the world's queerest pack of werewolves. Unfortunately, it turns out the past has also refused to forget Trick. It washes up on his doorstep and gets instantly tangled up in marine biology conferences, twelve mermaids thrift shopping, and specialty cappuccinos. That past is grumpy, sexy, and wearing a very sparkly tail. (Don't you dare call him a fish.) Trick was just starting to feel like it was all going to be okay. But sometimes the sea decides to spit up a merman who has been looking for Trick for over a decade. Trick will have to decide whether he starts running all over again or faces up to heartbreak and the childhood best friend who betrayed him. New York Times bestselling comedy author Gail Carriger (writing as G. L. Carriger) brings you the next in her delightful shapeshifter series. These San Andreas Shifter books stand alone and do not need to be read in any order. This installment contains gay sexy times, horrible puns regarding oceanography, and clumsy mermaids in high heels. PRAISE FOR CARRIGER "I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - V's Reads (The Sumage Solution) "Carriger has created a world that's uniquely her own in the shifter-verse that I thoroughly enjoy visiting and can't wait to see what comes next." - Boy Meets Boy reviews (The Omega Objection)
