Journal Entry 1 by rowenne from Centralia, Washington USA on Wednesday, April 04, 2007

Konstanze Bugg's elderly husband is malodorous, vile, and a sadistic pervert, so she flees in secrecy in the summer of 1804 to the Cornish cottage her great-uncle left her. She can't resist the secluded cove and strips down for a swim, then, while sitting on a rock and singing with the remarkable voice she inherited from her opera singer mother, she's mistaken for a mermaid by Foweather, the king's excise man. She hides in a cave, where she discovers smuggled contraband and Tom Trewella. Tom convinces her that smuggling is essential to the community's survival, and hires her to impersonate a mermaid to distract Foweather. Meanwhile, her odious stepson, Bugg II, becomes a threat once he learns that Konstanze stands to inherit his father's fortune, and things turn passionate between Tom and the mermaid. Cach's beautifully crafted, erotically charged scenes and light humorous touch will please fans of Teresa Medeiros, and the conniving townspeople will remind others of the movie Waking Ned Devine .
