Tied to the Waves
Book 1 of Monsters of Brimrey Island
The ocean was the end of my parents’ life—he might be the start of mine.
An angsty MX monster romance
In an ideal world, my dead parents’ waterfront house would rot with them.
In an ideal world, I wouldn’t need the money from selling it, and I would’ve never returned to the island I fled from at eighteen.
But life is never kind to people like me, is it?
So I’m back where I left the friends who broke my heart and the ex whose bruised fingerprints I still can’t scrub off my skin.
The second-to-last thing I need right now is an injured, unconscious merman drifting over to my dock. And the last, the way he tells me I’m beautiful when he wakes up.
