Eric Baird made the decision to abandon modern conveniences and his prejudiced family for a simple island life. He has a small cabin and a lagoon all to himself and, though he's sometimes lonely, he's mostly relieved that he can finally be free. But one lazy afternoon swim takes a dangerous turn when a cramp has Eric struggling not to drown. Suddenly, someone saves him, and he's ever so grateful...until he sees who it is. Tyfodorus is a Cecaelia who has a rather human upper body and a definite squid lower half. As if a mersquid in his lagoon isn't enough to knock the socks off Eric, Ty lets him know they're here to breed. Would Eric be the host to Ty's six eggs? Pretty please? Eric gets to know Ty and agrees, resulting in some amazing sex and six highly intelligent, adorable hatchlings. As they adjust to living as a family in the lagoon, they must also understand how genetically compatible they are, deal with a shipwreck survivor, and make plans for their future together. This novella has a sweet and sexy instalove story with tentacles in naughty places, low angst, some mpreg/eggpreg moments, and a bunch of cute alien babies with a HEA ending.
