Home in Nevada

A childhood crush he ran away from. A second chance at forever.

Jeff

Coming back to Middle-of-Nowhere, Nevada for Thanksgiving was supposed to be simple—visit family, survive the small talk, and leave before the dust settles. But then I ran into Jamie. My best friend. My first crush. The one who made me second guess everything I thought I was. The one I never really stopped thinking about after I moved away. It’s been years, but the way he looks at me now… it hits somewhere deep, somewhere I thought I’d locked away. I don’t know what I’m doing here anymore. Except that every time he smiles at me, I want to stay.

The Night the Sea Kept Me

A high-angst, high-heat MM monster romance featuring a fiercely possessive, silent protector and the rebellious royal who becomes his entire world.

The light of the upper reef is a beautiful, suffocating lie.
The dark of the trench is a terrifying truth.

Vaelis is a Prince of the bright shallows. He is fiercely proud, dangerously curious, and completely bound by the treacherous politics of the sunlit royal court.

Kael is a scarred, silent monster of the deep. He is an apex predator stripped of his voice and exiled entirely to the crushing, freezing dark of the Gray Wastes.

When a brutal betrayal casts the beautiful royal directly into the abyss, Vaelis fully expects to be devoured by a nightmare. Instead, he is violently rescued by one.

But surviving the deadly fall is only the very beginning. With a massive war threatening to tear their underwater world apart, a broken prince and a touch-starved shark must forge an impossible, undeniable bond to survive the dark.

He was supposed to be a sacrifice.
He became a signal instead.
