false 4818268 2 Derek Meredith lost his lover of ten years, Tad Archer, in a boating accident. Four months later, anonymous phone calls lead him to the Del Fantasma bar in Vista Loma, California, where he runs into an old friend named Kellen who has, in his own words, found something Derek has lost. Kellen and Derek are both members of a mythical race of sea creatures known as merrows. Friends earlier in life, Kellen had loved Derek from childhood, but a wanderlust filled Derek's heart, leading him to seek life on the shore among humans. Tad was the reason he'd left the ocean behind, and Kellen has never managed to move beyond that rejection. Back in Derek's life again, Kellen offers him an "indecent proposal" -- a night of passion between the merrows for the return of his lover. But complications arise, among them the fact that without his talisman, an item that links his blood with the sea, Derek is unable to return to the ocean and cannot rescue Tad. His talisman was given to his lover on their tenth anniversary as a symbol of his love; in exchange, Tad gave him a gold ring. The metal holds mystical properties for those with merrish blood, and Derek hopes that the power of love that resides in the band might be enough to help him rescue his lover ... without having to succumb to Kellen's sordid desires in the process. 4883410 2007 Undertow total:10|5:5|4:3|3:1|2:1|1:0| 10 42 14 2 4 0 false false Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 30 21:52:34 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 03 12:59:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Sep 27 22:13:56 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 24 07:17:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 14 11:33:53 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 11:33:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Oct 11 10:36:34 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 10:36:34 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Oct 07 01:02:53 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 01:02:55 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Oct 05 04:42:16 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 04:42:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 21:41:04 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 21:41:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 18 11:18:40 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 11:18:40 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 04:30:18 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 04:30:18 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 26 20:25:55 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 20:25:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 27 18:17:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 18:17:00 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jan 12 10:50:19 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 10:50:19 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Dec 05 19:04:38 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 19:04:38 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 14 11:27:17 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 11:27:17 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6109402
