ADONIS
salt and starlight book one
Connor has always trusted the sea more than people.
After an accusation destroys his final year of school, Connor is sent back to the seaside town he once called home — and to a house that has never felt like one. His mother expects the worst from him. His new stepbrothers don't know what to make of him. And Connor is tired of pretending he cares what anyone thinks.
Then he sees the merman.
Hidden in the waters outside his father’s underwater lab, Adonis is beautiful, impossible, and far from human. He should be dangerous. Maybe he is. But Adonis doesn't flinch from Connor’s anger, his sharp edges, or the ugly parts of him everyone else is so quick to condemn.
For the first time in his life, Connor has found someone who wants him exactly as he is.
But Adonis is not the only secret in the deep. The more Connor is drawn into the merman’s world, the more questions surface about the lab, the accusation that ruined him, and why he was brought back to the coast in the first place.
Connor has spent his life being unwanted.
With Adonis, he might finally have somewhere to belong.
Adonis is an 18+ M/M merman romance with mystery, hurt/comfort, found family, explicit heat, and a possessive, devoted creature.
