Salt and Starlight

Accused of a hate crime and expelled from school in his final year, Connor returns home to his seaside town to let everything blow over. There, not only does he have to learn to deal with the addition of two new stepbrothers and a new stepdad, but he also has to grapple with a world set against him. It's not all bad, though. Within his dad's underwater lab, he discovers something in the deep. Something exciting. Something that calls to him. Something that doesn't shy away from the ugly in him, as the world does. And Connor could use the distraction… even if it endangers his life. Adonis is an m/m merman mystery adventure.

Sam isn't sure where he belongs. A fisherman's son with hands more suited to painting than hauling traps, he's spent his life caught between two worlds-between land and water, duty and passion. He keeps to the tides, drifting through life unseen, unnoticed. His father doesn't recognize him half the time, his estranged brother has returned like he never left, and college is an uphill battle he isn't sure he can win. The only place that feels like home is his father's boat, where the world is quiet enough to think. Then Goldilocks arrives. Golden-haired and impossible to ignore, the merman doesn't ask for Sam's attention-he demands it. He lingers at the edge of Sam's world, watches him too closely, gets under his skin in ways no one else ever has. Sam should ignore him. But Goldilocks won't let him. Sam, who has spent his whole life being overlooked, suddenly finds himself the focus of someone who refuses to let him fade into the background. And the more Goldilocks pulls him in, the harder it becomes to pretend he doesn't want to follow. Sam has always been alone. But maybe, for the first time, he doesn't have to be. Goldilocks is an MM merman mystery adventure.
