61 pages

Trading his glorious merfolk hair for human legs was supposed to be the hard part. Winning over the gay disaster pirate captain of his dreams turns out to be much harder.

Silverfin has spent years secretly watching Captain Hawk from the waves. Not in a creepy way, but in a deeply romantic, “dramatically yearning through portholes at midnight” kind of way. Hawk is everything Silverfin has ever wanted: devastatingly handsome, legendary in battle, and unfortunately, entirely human. The only problem? The legendary pirate of Silverfin’s dreams is much better at submitting to tragedy than accepting love.

When a night of drunken brooding sends Hawk overboard, Silverfin does the only reasonable thing a lovesick MerSir can do: rescues the drowning man, steals an impulsive kiss, and bargains his glorious hair to a sea goddess for human legs… and other weird lower bits.

Now stranded aboard the pirate ship Orca with the man of his dreams, Silverfin has one mission: help Hawk recover a legendary treasure galleon, win his heart, and definitely not reveal that he’s secretly a creature of the deep.

Simple. And fortunately, nobody told Silverfin that the great pirate romances of legend usually end in tragedy.

Except Hawk is the kind of romantic hero who’s convinced himself that suffering nobly is the same thing as being happy, the crew thinks Silverfin is a complete Himbo, and the sea goddess who granted his bargain has a very different idea of what “payment” means.

As Silverfin and Hawk’s connection grows from sizzling sexual magnetism into something real, Silverfin must convince the man he loves that the past does not have to define his future. But when his secret is revealed, the fragile trust they’ve built could disappear beneath the waves.

Silverfin: The Little MerSir is a queer pirate romantasy that reimagines the sea stories we love by trading tragic legends for queer joy, emotional healing, and happily-ever-afters. Inspired by classic fairy tales, swashbuckling adventures, and the queer pirate stories that helped reshape the genre, it is filled with found family chaos, hidden identities, sea magic, bonus sapphic romance, high-seas adventure, possessive yearning, explicit heat, and one extremely judgmental crab.

Perfect for fans of the witty, queer maritime energy of Cat Sebastian and the intense emotional healing and explicit spice of K.J. Charles.
