Searching for an older romantacy novel I read in 2008 where a sea king falls for human woman
I'm searching for a book/ author I read in 2008 where a sea king takes unmarried women as slaves. The book starts with the FMC at her mother's beach wedding. Suddenly all the women are in some sort of trance and start walking into the ocean. The king ofc falls in love with the FMC.
I also recall small details, like there was a side character who was made mute from an abusive ex and although she starts out terrified of all the men, she finds someone to love. There may be harpies in the book and the King's name started with a V.
I recall really enjoying the author's book, so I wanted to see if she has published other titles in the same genre
