Aquarian

A Girl…A Guy… 
 Killian knows all about vampires and aliens. They're not real. But when a handsome swimmer climbs into her storm-tossed boat an hour from her summer destination, the worlds of fantasy and reality suddenly collide…  
 An Island of Mystery… 
 Cuttylea Island has no mall, no social scene, and no action. But it does have a mysterious stone tower, ageless islanders, and a secret as astonishing as a mermaid's tale… 
 An Ancient Curse… 
 Before the summer is through, Killian will find the truth of her family's past…and be forced to choose between love and destiny.
