Perfect for you if...

You enjoy romantasy with genuine chemistry between leads who start at odds and need convincing to believe in each other.
You love spicy contemporary romance set in magical versions of real cities where the worldbuilding feels lived-in and fun.
You want a rom-com that balances humour and heat without taking itself too seriously, with banter that actually makes you laugh.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn romance or books where physical intimacy takes a backseat to emotional development.
You want deep lore and complex magic systems rather than a light fantasy backdrop for a love story.
You're looking for a standalone when you'd rather avoid committing to what might be the first in a series.

About this book

Iris is a mermaid who loves her life in the ocean until her mother, the Queen, arranges for her to marry a human. Finn, a human running to become the first magical mayor of New York, needs a magical wife to strengthen his campaign and is willing to enter a loveless marriage. When Iris and Finn meet, she douses him with seawater in protest. However, Finn begins to see potential for genuine romance rather than a business arrangement. Despite her initial resistance, Iris finds that Finn consistently treats her well and refuses to break off the engagement. As time passes, Iris begins to reconsider whether life in Manhattan might be preferable to life under the sea. The novel features arranged marriage, only-one-bed, romantasy, and spice elements.
