Aria Selene Maris' world ended the moment her hidden garden beneath the waves was destroyed. Exiled from the realm she once called home, she wanders barefoot through a world she barely understands, where words are strange and streets are stranger. Everything she knew has vanished-except for her powers, lingering quietly beneath the surface. Dayvon Daquan Bennett sees more than just her confusion. He sees the mystery, the vulnerability, and a soul unlike any he's ever known. Drawn to her in ways he can't explain, he becomes her guide, her protector, and the first anchor in a world that feels overwhelming and unfamiliar. Some love doesn't follow rules. Some connections defy language, danger, and even reality itself. And sometimes, the tide doesn't just bring you to shore-it brings you exactly where you're meant to be. "I know you feel it too... even if you don't say it."

"Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do I'll take care of you" Allaya is just a girl from the Caribbean trying to make it in NYC. She's too busy going after everything she's ever wanted to be bothered with the drama that comes with love and relationships. She's so used to being alone that she doesn't know how to let someone in. So, what happens when she falls in love with her boss, rapper, and mogul Dave East? I do not own any of the images used in this book or on the cover. All fictional characters do not reflect the names and face claims in reality.

It wasn't until she met King Von, otherwise known as Dayvon-that her life was flipped upside down. Usually, the preachers daughter changed, but it seemed like her good aura rubbed off on Von, who couldn't help but get his act together for the sensitive girl...and it all started with attending...church.

she makes a joke and he takes it seriously. @𝔣𝔢𝔪𝔞𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔪𝔲𝔯𝔨
