She drowned in Grayhaven once.
The ocean gave her back.
At twenty-five, Celia Moor returns to the fog-soaked coastal town she swore she'd never see again-only to realize the sea has been waiting for her. The tides feel wrong. The air tastes like memory. And when someone turns up dead during a calm night, the town goes quiet in the way people do when they're hiding something.
Celia can't remember what happened the night she almost died.
Grayhaven does.
As whispers spread and fear sharpens, Celia discovers the town's oldest secret: the ocean doesn't just take. It chooses. And being chosen comes with a cost-one the town has been paying in silence for generations.
Then there's Lucas North.
The one person who doesn't look at her like a miracle or a curse... but like someone he refuses to lose. The more Celia tries to resist the pull of the water, the more the ocean pushes back-and the more dangerous it becomes to want anything human.
Because the sea is jealous.
And it doesn't share easily.
Ocean's Kiss is a dark, addictive coastal thriller with a slow-burn, high-stakes romance-full of secrets, obsession, and the kind of tension that feels like a storm rolling in. If you love eerie small-town mysteries, "the ocean is a character," and romance that hurts a little (in the best way), this one's for you.
Once kissed, never free.
