Despite all odds, Maren pulled off the impossible.
Little does she know, impossible is only the beginning.
Just months from graduation, Maren's biggest concern is no longer earning her diploma, it's the merman secretly living in her apartment, devouring everything in her fridge. Turns out "merman eating habits" weren't covered in marine mammals class.
After rescuing Kai from the aquarium, Maren agrees to help him blend into the human world until he can safely return to the sea. She has no idea how to make that happen...until Cee, her best friend and self-declared Cupid, devises a risky solution: pose Kai as Maren's cousin and use the two of them as models to launch Cee's eco-friendly clothing brand.
As Kai adapts effortlessly to life on land and their proximity draws them ever closer, Maren can no longer ignore her feelings, or the way his ocean eyes pull her under like an undertow. He carries answers to questions that have lingered beneath the surface for millennia, but their time together is slipping away.
Reinhardt is still hunting for his missing merman, and the ocean is calling Kai back more strongly with each passing day.
Maren knows she'll have to let him go, and that more than her heart will leave with him. But the sea holds secrets her father never revealed, and Maren's connection to the ocean runs far deeper than she ever imagined.
The Endless Deep is a slow-burn romantic fantasy rooted in environmental devotion, impossible love, and the pull of the sea.
