description: Its not easy being someones fairy tale.Leigh Hurley is making a name for himself among thieves and criminals even if it isnt the life he wouldve chosen. He shouldnt have screwed over the Moretti brothers though. It landed him in the river with weights on his feet. But somehow hes escaped certain death. The last thing he remembers before waking on the riverbank is a beautiful face and a soft kiss.Then Tolomeo turns up naked at Leighs apartment.Tolly comes from a race of killersmerfolk who drown humans for fun. But Tolly is different and when he sees a human in trouble he offers a kiss granting the man the ability to breathe underwater and himself the ability to walk on land at least until the next full moon. The ancient laws state that if he is given a vow of love by the one he kissed he will be able to keep his legs. If not he will be put to death when he returns to the water.But love is not something Leigh offers easily and Tolly has a secret of his own.
