I came for a wedding. I didn’t plan to fall for the bride’s brother, grow gills, or get magically pregnant—but here we are.

I don’t believe in fate. Or home. Or happily-ever-afters that don’t fall apart before the ink dries. So when I show up in Moonkissed Bay—this fog-choked coastal town that feels older than time—I expect to spend four awkward days being the plus-one no one remembers.

Then I meet Maren.

He’s quiet, controlled, magnetic in a way that hits somewhere deep. Something happens when we touch—something I don’t understand. And something he’s clearly terrified of.

Turns out this town has secrets. Ancient ones. And the closer I get to Maren, the harder it is to ignore what’s pulling me deeper.

I was ready to leave.
But now I don’t know how to say goodbye.


A tender, sensual MM fated mates prequel featuring a brooding merman, a human who’s always been left behind, glowing water, forbidden magic, a kiss that changes everything—and the start of a prophecy that just might save them all.
