The Mermaid Collector:
In 1888, 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 has become legend for the residents of Cradle Harbor, Maine, honored by the town’s annual Mermaid Festival. For Tess Patterson, the legend is 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. For Tom Grace, life’s magic was lost when the death of his parents left him to care for his reckless brother, Dean. Now the new owner of Cradle Harbor’s prized lightkeeper’s house, Tom hopes for a fresh start. 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…
The guest book:
The guest book is about Macy Dillon, who has returned to Sunset Beach NC after a ten year absence, anxious to see if the artist she used to exchange pictures with in a beach house guest book has left her one last picture. Hoping to find him and convinced he's the man she was always been meant to be with, she utters a desperate prayer one night as she walks on the beach. Within two days, three men show up-- and they all could be him. Is one of them the artist she feels a connection to?
The memory thief:
Readers will adore Emily Colin’s unique and beautifully written debut novel where one man’s promise to return drives an exquisitely passionate, unforgettable tale of love lost and found.
When Madeleine Kimble’s husband Aiden dies in a mountain climbing accident, Maddie can only think of his earnest promise to return to her and their young son. Aiden’s best friend J.C. feels great remorse over his inability to save him, but J.C.’s grief is also seasoned with the guilt of loving Maddie through the years. Meanwhile, across the country another young man wakes up in a hospital and finds that his memories have been wiped clean, and replaced with haunting dreams of a beautiful woman and a five year old boy whom he feels driven to find. What Nicholas Sullivan discovers upon his journey is utterly unexpected—and it will change all of their lives, especially Maddie’s.
