If Saul Ade had known that stepping into his sisterâs life would make him a player in the goddess Allendraâs unforgiving game, he would have never left the shadows. If he doesnât accept the mate she has chosen for him by the rise of the next blood moon, the SÃdhe will become human. Unfortunately, the woman he must make his love is a mermaid who once tried to drown his sisterâs human best friend. If heâd wanted a mate at all, reckless Laurel OâCuilinn wouldnât be it.
Laurelâs devastated to learn that Saul would rather cede Allendraâs challenge than to be with her, but sheâs too practical to sulk. Four weeks isnât much time to make Saul cast aside his grudges, and sheâll do what she must to help the SÃdhe retain their magicâeven if it means turning on some of the mermaid charm her fated mate finds so repugnant.
Allendraâs not the only one who can play games. But unlike the goddess, Laurel plans to play for loveânot with it.
Surrendering Saul is a Hearth Motel series tie-in story written as part of the Fated & Forbidden multi-author collection!
