The Kelpie's Kiss: A Romantasy of Watery Graves and Undying Devotion

🌊 Marine biologist Isla MacLeod returns to her Scottish hometown to investigate mysterious drownings in the loch, only to discover the legends are true: a kelpie haunts these waters. But the creature she encounters is no mindless monster-he's a devastatingly beautiful water spirit named Lachlan, cursed to drown humans or watch his own kind perish. When Isla becomes his next intended victim, she offers him a bargain: help her stop the real killer poisoning the loch, and she'll find a way to break his curse. As they investigate the toxic waters and unravel corporate conspiracy, their dangerous game transforms into a passionate connection that defies ancient magic and human fear. But Lachlan's kiss still carries death, and his curse demands a life-either hers or his own. With the loch dying and ancient magic fading, they must find a way to rewrite a thousand-year-old curse before their love becomes another legend at the bottom of the sea.
