17 parts Ongoing Sinking Into You
A slow-burn romance about healing, second chances, and self-acceptance.
Adrianna "Addie" Sinclair was once a rising star in competitive swimming, a young gold medalist with the world under her feet. But the weight of relentless pressure and suffocating expectations pushed her too far to abandon everything. Now, years later, she's found a new life performing as a professional mermaid at Aqua Haven, dazzling audiences while keeping her past buried beneath the waves.
Leonard "Leo" Hayes has admired Addie from afar for years. A marine veterinarian with a heart as big as the ocean, he's always been drawn to her-not just as the girl he once watched from the sidelines, but as the woman she is now. When fate brings them together through a blind date, neither of them realizes just how deep their connection runs. But when their night together unravels, Addie is quick to put up walls, unwilling to let anyone get close enough to hurt her again.
Except Leo isn't the kind of man to give up easily. When he starts working at Aqua Haven, their paths cross again, and this time, he's determined to break through Addie's defenses. As they navigate their unexpected reunion, old wounds resurface, guarded hearts clash, and an undeniable pull between them grows stronger.
But love isn't just about attraction-it's about trust. And when secrets from Addie's past threaten to drag her under, Leo has to prove that he's not just another wave crashing against her walls.
Will she let herself sink into him, or will she keep fighting against the current?
