Sinking Into You

24 parts Ongoing

She was the golden girl who disappeared. He was the boy who never stopped watching her shine. Now they're working under the same roof-and the waves are getting harder to ignore. Adrianna "Addie" Sinclair used to be unbeatable-an Olympic-bound swimmer with medals, fame, and the pressure of a nation on her shoulders. But one panic attack during a high-stakes race shattered everything. Years later, she's swapped podiums for fins, performing as a professional mermaid at Aqua Haven, where she hides behind sequins, smiles, and carefully controlled distance. Enter Leo Hayes: marine vet, soft-hearted dork, and the guy who used to watch Addie swim like she ruled the ocean. When a surprise blind date throws them together, sparks fly-but so do Addie's defenses. She doesn't do vulnerability. And she definitely doesn't do second chances. But fate's not finished. When Leo starts working at Aqua Haven, their lives collide all over again. And this time, Leo isn't content to watch from the sidelines. He wants to know the real her-the girl behind the glitter, the grief, the guarded sarcasm. And Addie? She's starting to want to be seen. As walls crack and chemistry builds, Addie has to decide: can she risk her heart again? Or will she keep swimming for safety-before love pulls her under? Started: February 9, 2024 Status: Ongoing
