The Endless Deep - Jessie Joi

Despite all odds, Maren pulled off the impossible.

Little does she know, impossible is only the beginning.

After rescuing Kai from captivity, marine biologist Maren agrees to help him adapt to life on land while he searches for a safe way back to the sea. Posing as the cousin of her best friend Cee, Kai enters a human world that was never meant for him-while Maren struggles to balance her future, her research, and the growing feelings she can no longer deny.

As Kai adjusts to land and their proximity draws them closer, Maren is forced to confront the cost of loving someone who may not be able to stay. The ocean calls to Kai more urgently each day, and dangerous forces are still hunting what they lost.

With time slipping away, Maren must decide whether love means holding on, or learning to release what was never hers to keep.

The Endless Deep is a slow-burn romantic fantasy rooted in environmental devotion, ocean mythology, and the ache of impossible choices.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Mermaid romance and ocean folklore

• Eco-romance and environmental themes

• Forced proximity and forbidden connection

• Love caught between land and sea
