The Second-Chance Seahorse (The Hippocampus Trilogy #1)

Keely is a seahorse shifter who makes a living in the underwater shifter kingdom by plying his trade as a comedian. Until one overly edgy joke gets him in trouble with the rulers of the kingdom and he finds himself seeking involuntary refuge in the human world...
Bo is a beefcake with a troubled past who wishes to live a simple and private life. Keely stumbling into his secluded beach shack and his life is the opposite of all his hopes for his existence, and as a man without a functional sense of humour he finds Keely's relentless jokes bewildering and insufferable.
But Keely needs him... and when an unexpected development puts a permanent end to the life each of them thought to build for himself, they might just find while putting together the pieces that in some ways, they both need each other.
