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

Terrified of water since her twin brother's tragic death, Cordelia confronts her fear and discovers she's not just human - she's a mermaid, born of the oldest bloodline. Entrusted with a powerful relic, she holds the key to breaking an ancient curse that binds her kin beneath the waves.

But danger lurks in the form of the selachii, elusive shark shapeshifters hell-bent on claiming the relic for themselves. Caught between duty and desire, Cordelia finds herself entangled in a web of forbidden love when an old flame reappears with secrets of his own.

As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, Cordelia must navigate treacherous waters, unsure who to trust. Every choice could lead to salvation or eternal captivity for her fellow merfolk.

Will Cordelia choose love and risk the curse, or sacrifice her heart for the freedom of her people?
