The Marsh’s Kelpie: A Water Spirit Romance. Monster Rites, #14

The river demands a sacrifice. She is more than willing to drown. Aelyvria knows the ancient rules of the marsh: never linger by the water's edge after nightfall, and never answer the call of the shadows that lurk beneath the surface. But the black, glass-like mirror of the river holds a secret that calls to her very soul. When the midnight water stirs against the current, parting to reveal a creature of terrifying beauty, she doesn't run.
She waits. Nokck is a Myth brought to devastating life-a Kelpie, a primordial water spirit driven by feral hunger and bound by the restless tides. With skin as pale as the moon and dark, endless eyes that promise the slow, inescapable drag of the undertow, he is a predator who has found his perfect prize. But when his webbed fingers finally interlace with hers, the hunt transforms into a profound, undeniable recognition.
A mythic bond, ancient and unbreakable, awakens between the mortal woman and the monster of the deep. Drawn into a lush, submerged world where the river itself acts as an accomplice to their desires, Aelyvria willingly surrenders to his chilling, possessive embrace. Beneath the tangled roots of weeping willows, the line between human and supernatural completely blurs. Their union is a dangerous, breathless dance of primal dominance and euphoric submission.
In the sunless depths, where oxygen becomes a stolen luxury and passion hits like a surging riptide, Nokck intends to claim her body, her breath, and her soul. The Marsh's Kelpie is a sinfully dark, atmospheric, and intensely steamy monster romance that plunges fearlessly into the depths of supernatural desire. Perfect for readers who crave fated mates, dangerously alluring non-human heroes, and unabashedly explicit encounters that push the boundaries of fantasy romance.
Will you sink into the sweet depths, or will the undertow swallow you whole?
