The Mermaid’s Tale [Novel]

Cordelia is the sole heir to House Marguerite, a family descended from mermaids. After the passing of her mother and her grandfather—the head of the household—her family rapidly falls into ruin. Mistreated by her father and relatives, she is even abandoned by her fiancé's family after contracting a hereditary illness that plagues her bloodline like a curse.

Now, she has at most a year left to live.

Hoping to change her miserable end, she sets off on a journey where she comes face-to-face with Noah Tudor, a beautiful yet arrogant creditor.
