We were all taught that mermaids weren't real...but what if they were? ⋆.ೃ࿔*:𓇼⋆.ೃ࿔*:⋆ She was never meant to be found. For years, the abandoned house at the edge of town has been nothing more than a place for ghost stories and dares. Until someone discovers the pool. Deep within its murky depths something moves, a creature no one believed ever existed. A mermaid. Trapped in the pool with no way back to the sea, she has spent years waiting for someone to find her. But what will humans do when they realise all the myths were true? ༄。°࿐ ༊·˚⋆. When a rich businessman buys the house to renovate and then sell, the last thing he expects is to discover her. And he must decide whether he will hide her, or expose her to the world. But the more he watches her, the more his heart falls for her entrancing otherworldly beauty. And as their strange friendship grows, so does a connection neither of them can explain. But the closer he gets to uncovering the truth about the house-and the creature living within its walls-the more dangerous her secret becomes. Because some things are abandoned for a reason. And some hearts were never meant to fall in love. ͎A͎ ͎s͎͎t͎͎o͎͎r͎͎y͎ ͎o͎͎f͎ ͎s͎͎e͎͎c͎͎r͎͎e͎͎t͎͎s͎, ͎l͎͎o͎͎n͎͎e͎͎l͎͎i͎͎n͎͎e͎͎s͎͎s͎, ͎f͎͎o͎͎r͎͎b͎͎i͎͎d͎͎d͎͎e͎͎n͎ ͎w͎a͎͎t͎͎e͎͎r͎͎s͎, a͎͎n͎͎d͎ a͎ ͎l͎͎o͎͎v͎͎e͎ ͎t͎͎h͎a͎͎t͎ ͎m͎͎i͎͎g͎͎h͎͎t͎ ͎b͎͎e͎ ͎i͎͎m͎͎p͎͎o͎͎s͎͎s͎͎i͎͎b͎͎l͎͎e͎ ͎t͎͎o͎ ͎s͎͎u͎͎r͎͎v͎͎i͎͎v͎͎e͎.

HIGHLY MATURE CONTENT 🔞🌶 "Some love stories aren't meant to survive... only to haunt." Aryaveer Patnaik and Ashmira Maharana belonged to the same world of power, luxury, reputation, and influence-yet they were completely different souls. Ashmira Maharana knew how to stay graceful in every situation. She spoke politely, respected people, and carried herself with quiet elegance. But her silence was never weakness. She knew exactly when to raise her voice and stand for her self-respect. Aryaveer Patnaik, however, was nothing like her. Cold. Ruthless. Emotionally distant. He never believed every problem could be solved with love, patience, or calmness. To him, some battles demanded cruelty. Some people only understood harshness. Where Ashmira carried warmth behind her strength... Aryaveer carried darkness behind his control. Their marriage was never a fairytale. It was built on pressure, circumstances, and emotions neither of them truly understood. He was the kind of man who could protect her from the entire world while slowly becoming the reason behind her pain himself. Possessive, dangerously silent, and impossible to understand-Aryaveer never knew how to love softly. And somehow, Ashmira became the only woman capable of seeing the broken man hidden behind the monster everyone feared. But some people are not meant to heal each other. Some are meant to ruin, scar, and haunt forever. And perhaps that was exactly what Aryaveer Patnaik and Ashmira Maharana were destined to become.." #1 book of "BROKEN HEARTS" series Can be read standalone....

At twenty-one, he's studying alternative medicine at Artshel University, determined to build a life that belongs to him. His family has taught him to observe, question, and never ignore the details others overlook. Then there's Parker Stanton. Beautiful, intelligent, distant-and seemingly unaware that Brenan exists. Until one night, he sees a mysterious woman leaving the university dormitories. Her face looks strangely familiar, but everything else about her is completely different from the Parker he knows. Soon, Brenan begins noticing things he can't explain. Strange changes in Parker. Secrets she refuses to discuss. And a connection to something buried deep within her family's past. The more Brenan investigates, the closer he gets to a truth Parker herself is struggling to understand. And when the woman he has fallen for begins to reveal another side of herself, Brenan faces a choice he never expected to make: Can he save Parker from the darkness growing inside her-or will he fall in love with it, too?

She uncovers evidence with quiet violence. He solves crimes with a peaceful conversation. She doesn't speak. He doesn't stop. The dead, unfortunately, have opinions about both. Galen Rose calls himself psychic. Shannara Chase calls him insufferable. When a confirmed extraterrestrial sighting leaves a man suspended between life and death, the government scrambles to erase its tracks. Armed with nothing but an antique notepad and a lethal amount of audacity, they do the one thing they were explicitly told not to. They start asking questions. She communicates in scrawls, sign language, and structural violence. He communicates in devastating wordplay, clinical deduction, and a smile that has talked its way out of three countries and into considerably more trouble. They are not a love story. They are a hate story. Best friends who almost hate each other. Enemies who would burn the world down for each other. Trapped in a high-stakes whodunit masked by lies, ancient secrets, and a mystery that doesn't want to be found, they must survive a partnership held together by endless bickering and a slow-burning tension neither can afford to name. The closer they get to the truth, the closer they get to each other. Neither is ready for either. Together they're either going to crack this impossible case or completely destroy each other. (Probably both.) ⚠️ Side effects include: UFO obsession, mutual animosity, conspiracy-induced insomnia, slow burn that will ruin you, enemies-to-lovers tension, and an unhealthy attachment to one devastatingly dangerous mentalist golden boy. Ranked #1 in UFOs and #2 Procedural, #12 in Crime fiction, 3 days into the launch!
