There's Something in the Water

Cove Sinclair crossed an ocean chasing a dream. He didn’t realize he was swimming straight into a predator’s territory. Fresh out of California with a degree in marine biology, Cove accepts an internship at an Australian aquarium, eager to prove himself and start over. Months in, he catches the attention of a quiet, unsettling patron—Tobias Kelly, a man whose interest in marine life feels far too personal… and far too focused on Cove himself. When Tobias offers Cove a chance to work at his private aquarium, it feels like an opportunity too rare to refuse. But, behind the locked doors of Tobias’s home, the tanks are larger, the creatures deadlier, and the rules far less clear. Cove begins to sense that his employer’s fascination goes beyond professional admiration—and that the glass separating him from danger is thinner than he ever imagined. From Tobias’s point of view, Cove isn’t just a young man with talent. He’s a vision pulled from the depths. A siren. A living treasure meant to be kept, protected… and claimed. There’s Something in the Water is a dark MM romance told in dual first-person POV, featuring an obsessed, neurodivergent Daddy Dom, and the young man he sets his sights on. Full CWs located in the Preface of the book.
