A Fantasy that will set the Sea to Steaming!
Accused of being a witch, Meg had been banished from the Arcan Mainland and had been given into the care of her Aunt Adelia and her Uncle Olwyn on the Isle of the Mists. Meg's fate is to become a priestess, a fate which she rails against in her heart of hearts, for after her initiation rites she must remain celibate for life.

Late one night Meg witnesses a Selkie mating. Caught up in their ecstasy she catches the eye of their leader, the Lord of the Deep. As he makes love to one of his consorts she imagines herself in the selkie female's place. Knowing of her heart's desire in the way of his people Simeon comes to her, to grant her fondest wish.

A virgin no longer, Meg cannot become a priestess nor can she return to the Mainland. She cannot remain with Simeon in the deep indefinitely either. Simeon's consorts are a jealous lot and Meg cannot breathe under water for long. Nor can Simeon exist long in her world. Simeon has a plan but needs time to execute it. Meg returns to her relative's cottage with plans to meet with him later at the witching hour. But Meg's avaricious aunt has other plans for her.

Unknown to Meg there are accommodations that can be made for nubile young women who no longer qualify to become priestesses. It is a carefully guarded secret that the Shamans of the temple also keep a whorehouse on Shaman's Mount, for none who had ventured there had ever returned. But Adelia knows and acquires a tidy sum from the Shaman Seth for her troublesome niece. Using Simeon's hastily discarded seal skin to gain Meg's cooperation, Meg soon finds herself on the Mount and Simeon will move Heaven and Sea to get her back.

Even if he is successful their dilemma would not be resolved for he is immortal and she is doomed to age and die. Of course with love all things are possible and with the aid and hindrance of many fanciful creatures, including the Lord of the Forest, a long lived nun, a vengeful sea witch, a mercurial water horse, an ancient spirit trapped in a stolen tree and a swordfish sentinel the pair may just have a chance to live happily ever after. If you love ancient sea lore as I do and enjoy a hot steamy romance as well, Lord of the Deep is a book you will want to add to your keeper shelf.

Mystical, Magic, Drama and Hot Sex Underwater!
Whew! Did the cover of this book lure you in like a fish in a net? Hope so! This story keeps going with myth, drama, love and hot sex all underwater! Ms. Thompson does an excellent job of keeping the reader engrossed while delivering an engaging story. Meg and Simon are made for each other - no matter whom or what gets in the way! Simon reminds me of King Neptune - a fun story that will make you go to the beach and cry your wishes in to the water in the hopes of what is on the cover and in the story to appear before you! I am off to the beach!
PS - I am searching for a HINT of WHEN Book 2 will be released (I Think I know WHOM it will be about!)....Sigh! - I'm still searching!

Lord of the Deep
Accused of being a witch, Meg has been banished to the Isle of Mists,
where she will be trained as a priestess. Meg is not happy about her
fate, and one night, while she is looking out the window, she spots
the selkies taking part in an orgy. Their leader catches her eye, and
as she watches him take his consort, she wishes it was her, and she
pleasures herself.

Simeon, the Lord of the Deep, sees Meg in her window, giving herself
pleasure as he takes his consort. He knows he must have her and when
he does, he knows he can never let her go.

But Meg is mortal and Simeon is not. Together they face a myriad of
dangers, including the Waterwitch and the mortal priests of the Isle
of Mists, to find a way to be together, forever.

Lord of the Deep is a lush, sensual book that pulls the reader into
its depths and keeps them warm and happy for many hours. Ms. Thompson
enchanted me with her new world, and I fell in love not only with the
characters, but with the setting. I was entranced by the many
challenges Meg and Simeon faced and the way they came through them
with their love intact.

The secondary characters were also fascinating. I was happy to see
this is the first book in a series and I anxiously await the second
book next spring. Readers who enjoy tales selkies and magic and who
are enthralled by the water will love Lord of the Deep.
