{"product_id":"9781961957183","title":"Clutching Her Fishman's Roe: A Time for Monsters Romance","description":"Diana, Boston, 1922 My former beau may think himself a cake-eater because he's the lead trombone player at Boston's Beans Speakeasy, but that rotten scoundrel has no right to deny our baby. He promised to change my life-and know your onions, he did. What was I thinking when I lay with him? This baby was supposed to secure a happy home for us, and my brother, Allen, who depends on me after he was kicked in the head by a horse. Luckily for me, Dr. Leopold Guett found me crying in the alley behind Beans. He offered me a position on his Kentucky estate with living arrangements to boot. The Big Cheese didn't bat an eye at Allen's slow speech or my being stuffed out of wedlock. I thought we'd be gutter rats when Aunt Edith discovered my pregnancy, but now we will be safer than ever...and I owe it all to Dr. Guett. Thomas Papa's eyes glow with renewed interest in his experiments. I thought the fury of Phin and Harriett's departure would burn the evil out of him, but he's brought two more humans to our house of horrors. Can I swim idly as he destroys the beautiful ray of sunshine he's ensnared? Papa will certainly force me into his experiments on this gentle lady with a voice like a songbird if I show a hint of interest...just like he did to Phin. However, my heart can't stand aside and allow his madness to destroy her. I won't rest until I carry her down the river to safety-far away from here-but will she accept the aid of a man who is half grouper? Or will she mistake me for the monster?","brand":"Marilyn Barr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47560486813937,"sku":"9781961957183","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781961957183_p0.jpg?v=1766428803","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781961957183","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
