Novels and Novellas
Heartbound
Sylas Hills is a lonely fisherman without much hope in his life. Until, one day, when he is approached by an over-excitable selkie named Morel. Morel seduces Sylas with her friendly attitude and goofy personality, and Sylas can’t help but let himself be changed in ways he always promised himself he would never be.
Lifting himself from his depression and learning about Morel’s family gives Sylas reason to become more attentive to his own, and he rekindles the lost bond with his estranged sister, Amelia. But there are adversities to be faced: Morel’s colony is untrusting of Sylas, with their half-giant matriarch keeping watch with a threatening presence. And, while keeping watch over his own shoulder, Sylas can’t shake the feeling that Amelia’s husband is forcing her to do the same.
But Sylas is determined not to fall back into his miserable old life. He will do whatever it takes to prove himself to Morel’s family. And perhaps, when he does, they will help him save his sister.
