Cohabitation with a Merman

In a world where beastfolk are bought and sold, Dorian rescues a terrified merman from an underground market and takes him home. Scarred by abuse, the merman can barely trust humans, let alone take human form. As Dorian helps him heal, strange dreams and an undeniable bond begin to blur the line between protector and lover. But when others demand he give the merman back, Dorian is forced to choose. Can he protect the merman he’s grown attached to—or lose him forever?
