"A tale filled with adventure, magic, and the power of love, Dangerous Depths will leave you enchanted."
~ Chiara Sullivan, BOOKS FOR A DELICATE ETERNITY
Hell hath no fury like a selkie separated from his true love.
The gate to the sea creature realm is finally open. Yara wants to bask in the glow of her budding relationship with Treygan and explore Medusa's world, but as the new leader of Rathe her powers are needed to save a sea creature she's never met.
Rownan assumes the worst is behind him when he returns home to be reunited with his wife, Vienna, only to discover she's gone. She traveled to the evil realm of Harte to find another gateway to Earth and was never heard from again. Rownan claimed he would go through hell to be with her, and now he must prove it.
Rownan, Yara, and Treygan will put their lives and souls at risk by traveling to the most dangerous realm of all. Love is supposed to conquer all, but no one has ever conquered Harte.

THE EXCERPT:
Vienna and I had sat on this beach, and so many
others in Rathe, more times than I could count. I turned my head and the
glittering sand turned into a mirage of a young Vienna. I wasn’t delusional, I
knew it was just me reminiscing, but there she was, skipping down the beach
several yards away. She saw me, waved, and ran over to me.
She looked so real. My mind retained every detail,
right down to the sand in her black, windblown hair. “Have you seen all the
shells that washed ashore?”
Of all the conversations we ever had, this one was
my favorite. One of the first times we discussed being more than friends.
“Yeah.” I smiled. “How many have you collected?”
She bent down and picked up a piece of sea glass,
holding it up and admiring it in the moonlight. “Only one. The rest belong
here, on the beach—or in the ocean, if the tide chooses to carry them away.”
She tossed the sea glass back into the sand and sat down beside me. “I don’t
keep them. I just like admiring them, holding them between my fingers and
feeling how different each one is. Except for this one.” She removed a shell
from her armband. At first it looked all white, but then I noticed the hints of
green and silver. “Feel it. It’s hard and soft at the same time. The edges are
ragged, but run your fingers along the silver veins—they’re soft as silk.”
I rubbed it, noting all the different textures.
“You’re right.”
“It reminds me of you.” Her ivory cheeks blushed and
she looked down, studying the shell in my fingers. “Something so unique should
be treasured. Forever.”
“The shell?”
She leaned toward me—barely an inch—but it was
enough to feel the energy building between us. “You, Rownan. I would treasure
you forever.”
It was the first time I kissed her. The first time I
had kissed anyone. We were barely teenagers, but I remembered it like it
happened yesterday.
I pulled away and smiled at her.
She groaned, frustrated. “I was afraid that would
happen.”
“What’s wrong?” Panic flooded me. Had I turned some
part of her to stone like Treygan had done when he kissed Kimber?
“I knew if you kissed me, I’d be forever ruined for
anyone else. No other selkie, or any creature for that matter, will ever top
that.”
Sweet
relief.
“Good. Because I hope you never kiss anyone else.” I handed her shell
back to her. “I want to keep you—I mean, treasure you. Forever.”
