In the treacherous waters of a world rife with magic and betrayal, Captain Elara Windrider is a fierce pirate with one goal: vengeance against Lord Cormac, the man who shattered her family's legacy. Once allies bound by ambition, their relationship twisted into animosity when Cormac betrayed her trust, leaving her to drown in despair while he seized power. 

When Elara learns of the Heart of the Sea, a mystical artifact said to grant unparalleled power over the oceans, she sets sail with her ragtag crew: a brooding mage, a cunning thief, and a loyal warrior. But as fate would have it, Cormac is also after the Heart, and their paths collide once more.

As they navigate the perilous waters of the Isle of Wraiths, the tension between Elara and Cormac simmers beneath the surface. A dance of desire and disdain unfolds, with each encounter revealing buried secrets and a complicated history. As they face curses, sea monsters, and rival pirates, the line between enemy and lover blurs, forcing Elara to confront her feelings amidst the chaos.

In this thrilling tale of adventure, passion, and redemption, Elara must decide whether to embrace the toxic bond that draws her to Cormac or to seek her revenge and forge a new destiny.All Rights Reserved

Sea Of Dreams by EvangelineNott

Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. BOOK SAMPLE, FULLY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED FOR FREE! [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue.
