Alone on his prepaid Hawaiian honeymoon, he wants nothing more permanent than a temporary tattoo. For the first time in centuries, Pua's looking forward to a romantic interlude that doesn't end in a bloody shark attack. But modern times bring modern complications. Too bad Justin has secrets of his own. Forbidden Words, by Angela Brimhall: A voiceless mermaid. A vengeful Greek goddess.
