Death in the Deep

Something is poisoning Crocodile Lake. And it's not just the wildlife dying.

Dr. Silva Crawford is a brilliant marine biologist with a secret buried so deep it could get her killed: she's not fully human. Half-fae, half-mortal, Silva was born under a death sentence from the supernatural High Council, and only a binding spell has kept her hidden—until now.

When an urgent call from Florida's Crocodile Lake Refuge pulls Silva and her research team into a wave of dying wildlife, toxic waters, and impossible contaminants, she finds more than environmental collapse waiting in the swamps. She finds Mark Kitsa—rugged, brooding, and infuriatingly magnetic.

Mark isn't just the refuge's head ranger. He's a lion shifter. An alpha. And the moment he meets Silva, he knows she's his fated mate—a bond forbidden by the laws of his pack and deadly if discovered. But there's more to Silva than meets the eye… and the truth is clawing its way to the surface.

As the contamination spreads, they uncover a terrifying conspiracy linked to Biomax, a biotech giant conducting grotesque genetic experiments in an offshore facility. With assassins closing in and the High Council out for blood, Silva must confront the truth about her powers, her lineage, and a love that was never meant to exist.

Shifters. Secrets. Science. And a love written in magic and blood.
Dive into a lush, suspenseful paranormal romance perfect for fans of Christine Feehan and J.R. Ward, where passion and peril collide deep in the heart of the Florida wilds.
