The sea gave her freedom.
The sea took it away.
Lyriana of the Coral Court has always belonged to the ocean-fierce, wild, and untamable. But when her mother, the Sea Queen, orders her to marry a prince she doesn't love, Lyriana flees her kingdom in search of her own destiny. She dreams of freedom beyond duty and thrones, but freedom comes with a price.
Caught in a storm above the reef, Lyriana is trapped in a fisherman's net and dragged aboard the Sea Serpent, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Rowan Blackthorn-a man known across kingdoms for chasing legends, not obeying laws. Fierce, clever, and haunted by secrets of his own, Rowan sees in Lyriana not a monster to fear but a mystery to claim.
Imprisoned far from the water that gives her life, Lyriana must fight to survive among men who see her as treasure, a weapon, or a curse. But as she learns more about Rowan, she discovers he's searching for something deeper than gold-something the sea itself may have hidden.
As their worlds collide, old myths rise again. Curses stir beneath the waves. A power older than both sea and sky begins to awaken.
Torn between hatred and a strange pull toward her captor, Lyriana faces an impossible choice:
Escape back to the sea and abandon everything she's begun to feel...
or risk her heart-and her freedom-to uncover the truth about the tides that bind them.
Because some bonds aren't made by chains.
They're made by the sea.

The Cursed Mermaid
[Fairytale Series, Book 4] The underwater kingdom of Narmia had been left alone for millennia. It was forgotten from history books, and never appeared in maps. Princess Arya, fourth in line to the throne, had grown up with the knowledge that Narmia could support itself, with no outside help needed. Despite her desire to explore beyond, to rise to the surface and see the legendary 'land' for herself, she remained within the walls of her kingdom, deterred from her adventures by her stern, overprotective father. However, Narmia was thrown into chaos when the demons attacked. None of the merfolk had seen such dark creatures. Their army didn't stand a chance. Afraid for the lives of her people, Arya entered the world beyond Narmia, heading towards where she thought was 'land', desperate for help. Her battered, unconscious body was found by Nam, a Dorlae boy, a day later. Although he isn't at all what Arya expected land-dwellers to be, she is relieved when he agrees to help her save Narmia. But as Nam, joined by a few others, gain their very own tails and follow Arya back to her kingdom, she wonders if they will be enough. --------------------------------------------------- Based on The Little Mermaid (ft.

10-Feet Sea God And His 5-Feet Human Bride
For over a thousand years, the Sea God has ruled the endless oceans, his power feared by mortals and worshipped by kings. His storms shape empires, his tides decide the fate of nations. Yet beneath his immortal strength lies a single, unfulfilled desire-an heir. He has crowned countless Sea Queens, each one chosen for her beauty, her magic, her divine blood. And each one has failed him. The sea remains silent, barren, and his throne grows colder with every passing century. Until one night, against every law of nature and every curse of the gods, a fragile human girl carries his child. She is everything he despises-mortal, weak, fleeting. He has drowned cities for less than a whisper of human defiance. And yet, inside her grows the one thing he has longed for more than power, more than eternity itself. Now, torn between hatred and desire, vengeance and hope, the Sea God must choose: Will he destroy the girl who embodies everything he loathes... Or protect the fragile spark of life that could finally break his eternal loneliness? A tale of forbidden love, divine wrath, and the one bond strong enough to shake the heavens-the bond between father and child.Complete

A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

He watched her long before he ever touched her. Back when she lived next door - soft, curious, unaware - she thought his silence meant safety. She didn't know restraint could be more dangerous than desire. He was older. Controlled. A man built on rules he never broke. Until her. One moment shattered everything - a line crossed, a truth exposed - and then time pulled them apart, leaving questions, guilt, and an obsession that refused to die. Years pass. Lives change. But obsession does not age quietly. When fate brings them together again, the power has shifted. He is no longer just a man with secrets - he is a CEO feared and respected, a master of control. She is no longer the girl next door - she is his assistant, standing inches away from the past she never healed from. A secret marriage binds them - not with love, but with silence, tension, and unspoken rules. Every interaction becomes a psychological game. Every look carries history. Every touch feels like punishment... and craving. She tries to survive him with logic. Her heart whispers resistance. Her body remembers too much. This is not a story of comfort or easy redemption. It unfolds in phases - obsession, separation, longing, control - shifting between emotional intimacy, psychological warfare, and dangerous desire. Some chapters burn slow. Some chapters burn dark. Some don't burn at all - they cut. Because this is not just about wanting someone. It's about being claimed before you understand the cost. And when the past finally collides with the present, she must decide: Will she break free from the man who has shaped her in silence... Or surrender to the darkness that has always known her name? 🔞 18+ Only Dark Romance • Psychological Obsession • Morally Grey Slow Burn • Multiple Timelines • Forbidden Desire New chapter - Sunday and Wednesday ( per week )Complete

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
