A Sea of Doubt and Desire

Cordelia's life has never been her own. Guided by visions and bound to prophecy, every step she takes leads toward the same inevitable fate. As the Sea Witch, she carries a centuries-old curse-one that drains her body, haunts her mind, and demands an impossible price. Breaking it would mean freedom. Failing would mean condemning herself to the same tragic cycle as the women before her. But when fate delivers a ruthless, power-hungry pirate into her path, even her iron resolve begins to waver.Amaro Villiers has spent his life chasing power, bending the sea and its dangers to his will. Beneath the sharp edge of his ambition lies a singular obsession-immortality. When his pursuit leads him to Cordelia, he expects a bargain. Instead, he finds a woman who defies him at every turn, a force as untamable as the ocean itself. She is the key to the future he craves... but each moment in her presence forces him to question the cost of the life he's always wanted.As they sail toward the heart of Cordelia's past, an ancient terror rises from the depths-a monstrous entity bound to her blood, seeking to claim what was promised long ago. The sea churns with the echoes of a curse centuries in the making, and with each passing moment, the line between destiny and choice blurs.Magic alone will not save them. And love may not be enough to rewrite the ending that's been waiting for them both.A Sea of Doubt and Desire is a sweeping fantasy romance filled with high-seas adventure, dark bargains, and a love that defies fate itself. While it can be read as a standalone, it is the second installment in the interconnected Love from the Deep series-perfect for readers who crave passion, peril, and a touch of magic in their romances.
