Mermaid of Venice: Gia's Lost Lover

Mermaid of Venice Series, Book 1

By: Jincey Lumpkin

Narrated by: Marie-Pierre

Dive into the extremely glamorous life of Gia Acquaviva, an ultra-rich Venetian mogul with a portfolio of clubs and casinos around the globe. Gia harbors dark secrets - and an underwater graveyard filled with the bones of her former lovers.

Her family’s roots descend from the mythological sirens of ancient Greece, but she's taken every precaution to protect her anonymity and the existence of other mermaids. Gia lures in men with a beguiling façade, but inside lurks a deeply troubled soul, severely damaged by a mysterious past.

Despite her sinister desires, she longs for true intimacy and believes she may have found her match in Cameron Langley, a successful London-based banker and dead ringer for Chris Hemsworth. He offers Gia her first real opportunity for lasting love. They share an intensely passionate, deeply sensual connection...but is her growing affection for new lover enough to lull the murderous cravings she feels building within?

IndieReader Approved: 4.8/5 stars: "An electrifying series starter that immerses readers in a world filled with glamor, sex, murder, and mermaids."

Fans of Killing Eve and Big Little Lies will love Mermaid of Venice, a sexy psychological thriller with lush fantasy elements. The setting is modern day Europe with all the chic locales, hot spots, and vistas of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley and a juicy splash of the lavish lifestyle in E. L. James’ 50 Shades series. This is not the Little Mermaid you grew up with. Gia's out for blood.

Mermaid of Venice is the first installment in a series of six books about Gia Acquaviva.
