Lily is a mermaid who fears the ocean—and for good reason. Haunted by a childhood tragedy and a dream that’s gone from soothing to sinister, she’s avoided the sea for years. But when a mysterious pull draws her back to the water, she discovers her mate is no savior—he’s an Erebos, a bloodthirsty predator feared by all merfolk. He’s dangerous, forbidden, and tied to the very darkness that could destroy her. As their connection deepens, Lily must choose: run from her fate, or face the creature who may either save her…or consume her. One thing's certain—love shouldn’t taste this deadly.

So why would I want to follow in the same fate? Why would I want to indirectly stumble right into my hearts demise? I can’t. I won’t.

Love is an illusion – There’s just no such thing.

Lena Carter has one rule she refuses to break—Jaxon Walker is off limits. He’s her best friend’s older brother, the school’s star point guard, and the last person she should ever want. But rules have a funny way of bending when Jaxon decides he’s not going anywhere. What starts as teasing banter and sharp-tongued exchanges slowly shifts into something heavier, charged with stolen glances and moments that linger too long. Lena keeps telling herself to stay away, to stay loyal, to stay safe. Yet every interaction pulls her closer to the one person she swore she wouldn’t fall for. And when lines finally blur, she has to decide if protecting the truth is worth losing the only connection that feels real.
