Touched in the Tidepool

The ocean remembers its chosen.

Free-diver Kai has always belonged more to the sea than the world above it. Drawn to an isolated cliffside tide pool under the light of the moon, he expects solitude and silence, not the ancient intelligence waiting beneath the water.

The pool is alive. Watching. Hungry.

When glowing tentacles rise from the depths to trace the tattoos across his skin, Kai realizes the old coastal legends were never myths. The sea recognizes him, and what begins as fascination quickly becomes possession. Held helpless beneath the moonlight, he’s claimed by a creature older than memory itself, marked in glowing sigils, filled with something no human was meant to carry, and transformed into something that can never fully return to shore.

Now the tide calls to him with every heartbeat, and no matter how far he runs, the ocean waits patiently for his inevitable return.

Touched in the Tide Pool is a dark MM tentacle romance featuring possessive sea creatures, dubious consent, glowing body markings, forced surrender, breeding themes, and erotic ocean horror. Perfect for readers who crave monstrous obsession, primal claiming, and men willingly consumed by the things lurking beneath the waves.
