Beneath the Waves, Secrets Await: dive into a hidden realm where the line between fairy-tales and nightmares blur, in this mysterious world of romance, magic, and mermaids.

My move to Ireland was supposed to be a fresh start, after the tragic death of my parents. Instead, I found myself tangled in a chilling series of murders. As I pry open the cryptic chapters of my mother's hidden past, I'm caught in a treacherous current of intrigue, magic, and desire, pulled by two mysterious men: Sebastian, whose mystique and power are as deep as the ocean, and Ethan, whose allure is darkened by whispers of witchcraft and occult. Neither are quite what they seem.

With each tide, ancient powers stir within me-powers that could either save or condemn the merrow, an ancient race of mermaids lurking beneath the ocean's surface. As a pawn in a savage war that blurs the line between mortals and myths, I am both hunter and prey.All Rights Reserved

Ocean's Justice by DemelzaCarlton

A mysterious castaway. A Scottish hero determined to protect her. Can they survive the storm? Cast adrift on the Indian Ocean, Maria carries a terrible secret. Wherever she goes, death soon follows, and she's powerless to prevent it. William McGregor boarded the SS Trevessa in search of adventure, but he gets more than he bargained for when he saves the mysterious Maria from the sea. She can't tell them her tragic tale, so the superstitious sailors make up their own stories - and some would sacrifice her to the waves to save themselves from the coming storm. When the sharks start circling and the storm closes in, are sirens more than just a myth? A tiny taste of what's in store: My defiance was futile. What did it get me? A small raft drifting across the Indian Ocean, with nothing but the sound of waves and the smell of salt and coal-smoke. Smoke meant a ship. I was saved. I squinted into the sunlight, but the waves hid the vessel from me. Maybe I was looking the wrong way. I didn't have the strength to sit up and see. Rough hands seized me. I struggled, but my weakness won. Blue eyes drifted above, the same colour as the ocean below. A tangle of wiry seaweed obscured the rest of the man's face. "It's all right, lass. I'll take care of you." Darkness took me first. This book has been published and is available wherever you buy good ebooks.

Mystical (Mystical #1) (Revising) by ArielleWeekly

Gentle ripples passed over her, a watery caress that contrasted with her growing unease. Blinking slowly, Eliza tried to make sense of her situation. She found herself submerged, an unexpected aquatic world unfolding around her. Panic crept in as her ankles remained bound, immobilized as if by an unseen force. An attempt to move her arms yielded no results - they were ensnared in an unyielding grip. Seaweed, sinuous and trailing, wrapped itself around her legs with an almost possessive hold. Every movement was thwarted by the constricting tendrils, her struggles mirrored by the rippling sea plants. An urgency to breathe set in, her chest tightening in a desperate plea for air. But the very element that should sustain her had become a stifling barrier. A strand of slimy seaweed clung to her lips, smothering her mouth and nose. It seemed as if the water itself had turned against her, a sinister transformation that threatened to consume her.

Deep Sea by shayoung7

The sea "The sea... it's not just our home, it's our everything. It's where my family's secrets hide, where our history whispers through the currents. Every wave carries a story, every tide a lesson. I feel the sea's heartbeat, its pulse echoing mine. My family's legacy is woven into the sea's fabric. I feel proud to be a guardian of these secrets, a keeper of our mermaid traditions.(by meta) The sea is a cold, unforgiving abyss, A graveyard of lost souls, where darkness dismiss. Its waves crash against the shore, a mournful dirge, A reminder of the horrors that lurk beneath. In its depths, terrors lurk, unseen and unknown, Monsters that feast on fear, and souls overthrown.....(by draven) The sea.... my home It is my everything, it is a part of me I love the sea and the sea loves me Why? I hate the sea, the sea left me Am I not good enough It's gone The sea has a significant meaning to everyone for me it reminds me of home, how I feel safe in her hands, she's my home but then she left me with all the burdens, she is gone, never to be seen again, maybe in the Dreamland, but who I'm I kidding she kept visiting everyone in the dream except me What do you think of the sea?

A New Tide Rising by jms777

[COMPLETED] After completing her task of going to ground to bring her sister back home, a mermaid - Amaya - is drawn back to the small island of Linda Cove to find a young woman with whom she had a brief encounter during her time there. She yearns to find out if the feelings she experienced for this human were real, or just a passing infatuation borne out of intrigue for an unfamiliar creature. ***** This is a companion story to What the Tide Brings, in which Amaya's sister - Kaelin - is rescued by a human boy and harbored by his unknowing family, but Kaelin has a secret that could bring danger to her newfound friend. I suggest reading What the Tide Brings first for continuity's sake, but this story can be read on its own. It's pretty much self contained, except for a few references to characters and events from What the Tide Brings. *****

Follow these two as they struggle to survive their enemies & themselves! And face their own dark past, that threaten to destroy everything they hold dear. ~~~ This is completely unedited so read at your own risk.

However, I hope you enjoy the pure craziness of it!!!
