CHAPTER ELEVEN

Later that morning, after the island’s healer, Holden, confirmed Dana had a fractured arm and gave her a few drops of water, which worked immediately—Guess she’s not “defective”—Roen and a few of his men brought them back to his home. His mansion, built in a log-cabin style resembling something one might find in Aspen, sat atop a forested hill with large panoramic windows and a pitched roof. Inside, however, was anything but rustic. The smooth white walls, large oil paintings, and modern furniture with crisp fabrics and sharp angles made the home feel more like a posh New York penthouse. Not that she’d ever been in one, but who didn’t watch House Hunters?

The funny part was, Roen had called the place “pedestrian.” It was a reminder he’d once lived in a different world where money was no object. Private planes, expensive suits, and chauffeurs. He’d sacrificed it all for her and to help these people. He was a natural-born protector, and it was what she loved about him.

Since the attack on the boat, however, Roen seemed nervous and unsettled, not at all like the protector Roen she knew. “Don’t you let anyone foking near her,” he’d yelled at the guards before leaving, “or I swear I will rip out your hearts.”

She wondered if the man might actually be cracking. Good. He can join me.

Now, what did he plan to do regarding her and Dana? She suspected he hadn’t made up his mind.

Or doesn’t know. Leaving by boat was too risky, and flying out, considering the island’s “air control” capabilities, wasn’t a winner either. They might find themselves getting cooked right out of the sky.

The only thing Liv knew for certain? Roen wouldn’t throw in the towel when he wanted something. Right now, he wanted her gone. Far the hell away from him. Maybe even more so now that things had heated up.

Island vs. Mermen. Sounded like a damned B-movie. And a slaughter waiting to happen. Roen mentioned once that the island could read their hearts. So without secrecy, how would they ever get the upper hand in a fight? Their giant muscles would be useless, like bringing a maraca to a gun fight.

The only real option might be to stand against La Gran Perra, refuse to do her evil bidding, and weather any punishment she doled out. A battle of the wills between two species that excelled at digging in and taking heads.

That did not sound enjoyable.

Which brought Liv to her second mind-boggling question: If pushed to fight team merman, what would be the island’s weapon?

Love. Love is her biggest weapon. Plain and simple. These men loved those…things in the water and Crazy Dirt used them as leverage. Exactly why Roen’s move to “cure” the maids was key.

I can help with that. She could figure out how the island triggered the transformation.

Yay. Something to do aside from feeling scared or horny.

With Dana still sleeping, Liv took a shower to rinse away the sheen of dried salt and blood from her skin and then changed into a black stretchy dress she’d found in the closet.
