Princess Coral lives sheltered beneath the reef until a violent squall wrecks a merchant vessel, prompting her to rescue a drowning surface prince. Their desperate, moonlit embrace on the rocks sparks a forbidden passion that leaves Coral carrying new life. When her father discovers her pregnancy, she faces banishment from the coral courts unless she submits to royal command.
Under direct orders from the abyssal throne, Coral is betrothed to Triton, the feared sovereign commander of oceanic legions. Terrified that her fearsome new husband will execute her unborn child, Coral conceals her condition, never suspecting that Triton is the very man she pulled from the waves.
