Beneath The Moonlit Tide

Born of two worlds yet belonging fully to neither, Amara is something extraordinary—the daughter of a mermaid and a vampire.

Bound to the ocean by the light of day, she can only walk upon the land beneath the cover of night, when her legs return and an unnatural thirst for blood stirs within her. Neither wholly creature of the sea nor creature of the darkness, she lives between two worlds that seem determined to keep her apart from both.

For twenty-two years, the ocean has been her home, and her mother the only family she has ever known. But when death takes her mother away, Amara is left alone with the mystery of her own existence and a longing to find the father she's never met.

Leaving behind the only world she understands, she ventures onto land in search of something she has always yearned for—a place to belong.

There, fate draws her into the lives of two very different men.

Alexander, a human who has lost everyone he ever held dear, carries the scars of repeated tragedy and the haunting fear that anyone he allows himself to love will eventually leave him behind. Alaric, an immortal vampire who lost the woman he devoted centuries of his life to loving, has spent more than a hundred years mourning her death, believing his heart could never open to love again.

Yet neither is prepared for Amara, or for the feelings she awakens within them. As their lives become intertwined, three hearts shaped by loss begin to discover that love may still be possible, even when the fear of losing it never truly disappears.

But Amara's journey began with a different kind of longing.

Somewhere in the world is a father who has never known of her existence. And when her search finally leads her to Drake, an ancient vampire with his own history of love and loss, both father and daughter discover a bond neither knew they were missing.

As Amara struggles to understand the mermaid and vampire blood flowing through her veins, she finds herself caught between two worlds, two men, and the possibility of a family she never dreamed could be hers.

For each of them, the past holds something that can never be reclaimed. Yet through one another, they may discover that losing someone does not mean losing the chance to love again.

And sometimes, the greatest gifts in life are the ones we never knew we were missing.

**Do you risk belonging to someone when you already know what losing someone can do to you?**
