Little Nymph by yoursecret3

Looking for a tension filled, steamy enemies to lovers pirate story? Leave your real life behind and dive into a whole new world with two moons, pirates, sirens, ogres, and many more distractions;) Aura, daughter of one of the most influential pirates in all of Trodeaion, and sadly seasick is raised by a family friend for the first nineteen years of her life. Despite missing her father as his visits become rarer and rarer the more she starts to look like her mom, she loves her life. That is, until one random morning, a group of pirates invades the tavern she works at and takes her hostage on their ship. The infuriating captain insists he's an honourable man, yet he's made a deal with her father's rival to deliver her to him. She has three months on his ship to find a way to escape certain death. Can she do it? (Excuse this horrible blurb, I hate writing them and I want to get back to working on the book itself so it's the best I can do for now. It's unlikely that many people will see this right now anyway, so it doesn't matter) TW: Many serious themes in this one! SA, vi0lence, mention of vomit, mention of dr0wning, mention of dism4mberment, mature themes etc.

And what if the human he fell in love with went to live with him in the sea instead? Though born as a regular human on land, Henrietta always felt as if she were suffocating. She struggled to survive and belong among her kind. On a night when she sought to end her life at sea, she was rescued by Elsen, a merman who had once felt the same as her. Despite coming from different worlds, their shared experiences instantly built a bridge between them. When misfortune struck again, Henrietta lost her home and was driven to the edge once more. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Elsen brought her to his home in the deep sea. Although the ocean depths were tranquil and soothing, Henrietta's heart was still plagued with worries. And she soon discovered that Elsen also had yet to defeat his own demons. Will these two broken souls finally heal and come to love not only each other but themselves as well?

Chasing Tide (A Merman's Tale And The Human Who Desired Him) by AlphaKelly

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one. Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others. You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being. She took everything. His Light. His Heart. His Soul. It had no end. For years it went on like it would never end. But, it did. Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe. ******* "My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him." So...this is how it feels to love a person. "I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots." "Nothing can stop me from falling into your embrace." ******* ®®
