Sealed with a kiss
“Lord of the Deep” by Dawn Thompson
I will never look at a seal the same way again.
The hero of “Lord of the Deep” is a selkie, which is basically a creature of the ocean, who can take the form of either a seal or a human. When it takes human form, it will go ashore and mate with mortals. Being blessed with incredible physical beauty (when the selkie is in human form I guess, coz I’d like to think that people aren’t turned on by seals and if they are, I really don’t want to know about it), mortal lovers are often enamoured of their selkie lovers and will do anything to keep them by their side. You can keep a selkie with you by possessing his sealskin so that he remains in human form, but once you return his skin to him, he will never look back and return to the sea.
