The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler
Goodreads Summary: Sometimes, there are no words…
The
youngest of six talented sisters, Elyse d’Abreau was destined for
stardom—until a boating accident took everything from her. Now, the most
beautiful singer in Tobago can’t sing. She can’t even speak.
Seeking
quiet solitude, Elyse accepts a friend’s invitation to Atargatis Cove.
Named for the mythical first mermaid, the Oregon seaside town is
everything Elyse’s home in the Caribbean isn’t: An ocean too cold for
swimming, parties too tame for singing, and people too polite to
pry—except for one.
Christian Kane is a notorious
playboy—insolent, arrogant, and completely charming. He’s also the only
person in Atargatis Cove who doesn’t treat Elyse like a glass statue. He
challenges her to express herself, and he admires the way she treats
his younger brother Sebastian, who believes Elyse is the legendary
mermaid come to life.
When Christian needs a first mate for the
Cove’s high-stakes Pirate Regatta, Elyse reluctantly stows her fear of
the sea and climbs aboard. The ocean isn’t the only thing making waves,
though—swept up in Christian’s seductive tide and entranced by the
Cove’s charms, Elyse begins to wonder if a life of solitude isn’t what
she needs. But changing course again means facing her past. It means
finding her inner voice. And scariest of all, it means opening her heart
to a boy who’s best known for breaking them . . .
