The Mermaid and The Triton

Navy SEAL Forbidden Romance Aria-I teach mermaid fitness at a ritzy hotel next to the Naval Amphibious Base. I know better than to let one of those famous frogmen chase my tail. But in a moment of weakness, I submit to Erik, a tattooed badass Navy SEAL. After one night of incredible passion, I can’t stop thinking about his cocky ways and his dirty mouth.But I am about to train to be the first female Navy SEAL. When I show up on the first day of training, I’m horrified to realize that Erik is my BUD/S instructor. He’s the only person who stands in the way of me achieving my dream. I’m not a quitter. He can taunt me, tease me, and run me ragged, but I’ll never ring that bell. Erik-Aria is the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. She won the gold medal for synchronized swimming, and she looks like a little mermaid the way she moves underwater. Once I find out that the sexy redhead is teaching aquatic classes next to my base, I vow to do anything to make her mine.After a mind-blowing month together, she tells me she needs to go away to train. I assume it’s for another synchro competition.I’m dead wrong. She shows up in BUD/S as a member of the first class to let in women. And I’m her instructor. There’s no way in hell I will lower the standards of my Team to please the brass and make a political statement. It doesn’t matter how much I want her because she’s forbidden to me now. She will obey my every command.She can try to pass hell week, but she will fail. I’m a Navy SEAL, a Triton, a god of the sea. And she will never be part of my world.
