Swimming Without a Net by MaryJanice Davidson

Fred the Mermaid, a half-human, half-mermaid marine biologist, is caught between two worlds. As she attempts to integrate into merfolk society, Fred finds herself torn between Artur, the High Prince of the undersea realm, and Thomas, a captivating marine biologist. Additionally, she navigates the divide among merfolk factions: those who prefer to remain hidden and those advocating for exposure to the surface world. This sequel to Fish Out of Water delves deeper into Fred’s journey of self-discovery, love, and the complexities of her dual identity.
