Secrets of the Deep: A Forbidden Love, Enemies to Lovers Fantasy Romance Retelling

By Marisa Noelle

Book Overview

She fears the ocean. He belongs to it. And their love could drown them both.

Five years ago, a monstrous shark attack shattered Cordelia Blue's world and stole her family. Since then, she's sworn off the sea and buried the girl she used to be. But when Wade Waters-the boy she once loved and lost-returns to town, so does the pull of the tides she thought she'd escaped.

Wade is no ordinary boy. With eyes like the storm, secrets stitched into his skin, and a past soaked in saltwater and sorrow, he's hiding more than just the truth about where he's been. He's hiding what he is.

As forbidden feelings surge between them and deadly creatures rise from the depths, Cordelia uncovers a hidden world of mermaids, ancient curses, and a war brewing beneath the waves. The ocean wants her back-and this time, it won't take no for an answer.

Can she trust the boy who betrayed her? Or will loving him cost her everything-even her humanity?
