Blurb: Joey Lynch has never known softness. With his older brother gone, an abusive father looming, and the weight of four siblings on his back, Joey's learned to survive by shutting the world out - with fists, fire, and heroin. But just when the darkness feels permanent, a quiet voice begins to pull him out. Keira Kavanagh is known for her kind smile, her gentle presence, and her last name - sister to Johnny, Tommen's golden boy. No one sees the secrets she carries. No one knows that behind her perfect mask lives a memory she's buried deep, one that still haunts her every breath. He's chaos. She's calm. He's breaking. So is she. And yet, when they collide - it's not perfect. It's not pretty. But it's honest. It's healing. And maybe, just maybe, it's enough. Set in the world of The Boys of Tommen, this is the untold story of two souls surviving what they never should have had to - and holding on to the kind of love that demands to be fought for.

Mara has no memories before the day she woke on the cold stone floors of an Irish castle. Now a servant girl, she survives the cruelty of the royal court with quiet obedience-yet the sea calls to her with a voice she cannot ignore. Water whispers her name. Dreams haunt her. And something inside her is beginning to wake. Across the veil, a fae prince has spent years searching for the mate stolen from him the night of their bonding ceremony. The bond still pulls at him-faint, aching, alive. When he becomes a fae emissary, his first inspection sends him to a mortal kingdom by the sea... and straight into the path of the girl who should have never forgotten him. When their eyes meet, the truth stirs: Mara is not human. She is not lost. She was taken. As memories return and forbidden desire ignites, the prince uncovers a devastating secret-the kingdom that enslaved her has broken ancient treaty laws. And he will burn it to the ground before he lets them keep her. A stolen selkie princess. A fae prince bound by fate. A kingdom built on lies. Their reunion will shatter the mortal and fae realms forever.
