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