Prologue – Penny

Thane was out so the water the way he always did He kept them safe All of them Penny wished she could join hiliding as a tiger shark couple through the deep waters around Queensland, Australia, and her home, Shamrock Island

As she walked along the beach and caressed her belly, she wondered what kind of life she’d give her baby Thane had taken her to meet Horace, the old man on the opposite side of the island Rumored to be a sea turtle shifter, but barely seen in the water, the guy rei He was so wise and spoke so little

A sea turtle shifter How ridiculous I bet he looks like the turtle on Kung Fu Panda

Penny watched the waves break and wondered how many different shifters there were in the ocean Could an octopus transform into a super-hot stud like Thane? Could a sea snake becoer? Could a whale hit the shore and step out of the water with the perfect tits and ass of Kalina?

If I could get her to come here, I know I could ines them to be They’re beautiful creatures unless provoked Or unless they’re led by a bloodthirsty demon like Evelyn

Lightning cracked in the sky over the ocean and Penny felt a storust of wind blew across her face and an o Was it her new shark senses causing her to question things and register negative happenings long before they ever reached her shores? Or was it nothing at all? Maybe just concern for the man she kneas out there somewhere and for the baby inside her Both of the loves of her life were fighting to make it in this world One was out there in the water while the other was right here at ho
