It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading. The ocean is dark and filled with mystery, but it’s not the only thing with secrets. Lucy Sodaro has always wanted to explore the ocean. She never thought it would turn into a career, and definitely not one with her childhood best friend, Tucker, by her side. But now both are marine biologists, living their best life, until Abyss – a private company with murky intentions – offers them the chance of a lifetime. Three months at the bottom of the ocean inside their submarine, the Siren. Lucy and Tucker jump at the opportunity to do what they both love. Explore, with no limits, and all expenses paid. But the childhood best friends aren’t prepared for everything they discover on the ocean floor. Captain Jack might be an experienced submariner, but he doesn’t seem to enjoy women being in his space. And Nathan, the shy navigator, is too busy managing his panic attacks to be much help. Relationships new and old are tested when the journey continues to expose secrets, both about the depths of the sea and the dark desires inside each crew member. The ocean doesn’t discriminate, and when things go awry, the team must set aside personal grievances to survive their mission, regardless of the cost. Because at the bottom of the ocean, the only way out is up. Sunk is a standalone, why choose novel. It is NOT a romance. There is NOT a complete HEA. Please be aware before reading.

Outside the city walls, it’s everybody for themselves, and making sure her little sister is safe and fed is the only thing that matters. Rissa cares little about the monsters who rule beyond the city’s iron gate. Nobody knows what goes on inside the mysterious Labyrinth, because nobody who’s ever been there returned to spill its secrets. When Rissa’s scavenging turns up a particularly lucrative treasure, she’s not exactly afraid when the monster who shows up to reclaim it also claims her. She loses her freedom, but an inexplicable part of her craves sweet submission to the beast she now belongs to—Ten. Neither is Rissa what Ten expected. The spitfire of a woman leaves him longing to possess her in more ways than one. But breaking his own rules means he also breaks those of the Labyrinth, where he’s supposed to rule by his actions as well as his words. Relationships between monsters and humans aren’t merely discouraged—they’re deadly. A forbidden love, two broken souls, and tragic decisions don’t make for an easy happily-ever-after. Rissa and Ten will have to fight for the right to exist within the city’s hostile walls, but will they ever find peace? This romance will take you on a dark path, inside a world where dangerous things lurk in the shadows. Step inside—if you dare.
