Sea of Evil and Desire is dark, decadent, and just the right amount of unhinged. The tension crackles, the writing is gorgeously atmospheric, and the siren vibes? Chef’s kiss. Twisty, seductive, and impossible to put down—I was hooked. —NETGALLEY LIBRARIAN

An addictive dark Mer romance fantasy

Sea of Pleasure and Pain is the second book in The Deep Saga. Think Pirates of the Caribbean meets Indiana Jones, with spicy scenes and darker themes. It’s a fantasy romance novel that transports you to the decadent Mer kingdoms of the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans.

Sea of Pleasure and Pain is to the mermaid girlies what ACTOR is for the fae girlies.—ELIZABETH GOODREADS REVIEWER.

The merman romance book you’ve been waiting for…

Imagine Bridgerton, but everyone’s navigating dark trauma in a gothic setting . . .

Orphaned and stripped of her inheritance, Isadora is sent to live with an aunt whose single ambition is to see her married.
With no say in the matter, Isadora is swept into a season of balls, soirées, and relentless introductions.
But Isadora's dark past leaves her feeling out of place and lonely in this glittering society, unworthy of attention from the gentlemanly Mr. Theodore Westridge.
Instead, she finds herself drawn to the eerie Harrowmoor Hall, a house that seems to hold pain akin to her own, and a mysterious painter who once lived there.


When yearning outweighs logic, everything will fall apart.

Pride and Prejudice meets The Phantom of the Opera; The Broken and the Beautiful is a binge-worthy, beautifully tragic love story.
