Rhys is the head of the Regor merman Clan, and he hates humans. He thinks mermen shouldn&#8217;t interact with humans, and never marry humans. Why? Because he fears that interspecies mating will dilute the mermen genes and the merfolk race will become extinct. But Rhys mellows in the course of the series, especially when he becomes a grandfather. Villains are great fun to write, my favourites are the ones who are capable of redemption!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong><br \/>\nAlice lives in London, UK, with her husband and son. By day she&#8217;s a compliance manager for a pharmaceutical company. By night she writes fantasy romance about shape shifting mermen, water monsters and time-travelling witches. Her first book, \u201cA Merman\u2019s Choice,\u201d was published in January 2019 by Black Velvet Seductions. It is the first book in a fantasy romance trilogy inspired by the landscapes and legends of Brittany and Wales. The second book, \u201cMusic for a Merman,\u201d is out now. Alice has also written a short story, \u201cThe Sweetest Magic of All,\u201d included in the BVS \u201cMystic Desire\u201d anthology, out now. Alice loves reading and writing stories, and sharing them with anyone who\u2019s interested!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Media Links:<\/strong><br \/>\nFacebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AliceRenaudAuthorRomance\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AliceRenaudAuthorRomance\/<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alicerauthor\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/alicerauthor<\/a><br \/>\nLinkedin: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alice-renaud-author-4219b6166\/\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alice-renaud-author-4219b6166\/<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alicerenaudauthor\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alicerenaudauthor\/<\/a><br \/>\nGoodreads: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/18670218.Alice_Renaud\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/18670218.Alice_Renaud<\/a><br \/>\nBookbub: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/profile\/alice-renaud\">https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/profile\/alice-renaud<\/a><br \/>\nAmazon page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alice-Renaud\/e\/B07L52P17B\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alice-Renaud\/e\/B07L52P17B<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/2020\/02\/10\/alice-renaud-villain-rhys-regor\/cover-music-for-a-merman\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cover-Music-for-a-Merman.jpg?fit=366%2C562&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"366,562\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Cover Music for a Merman\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cover-Music-for-a-Merman.jpg?fit=366%2C562&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2277\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cover-Music-for-a-Merman.jpg?resize=195%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cover-Music-for-a-Merman.jpg?resize=195%2C300&amp;ssl=1 195w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cover-Music-for-a-Merman.jpg?w=366&amp;ssl=1 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/>Music for a Merman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb:<\/strong><br \/>\nRob Regor knew that humans were trouble.
