She signed up to study a monster. She didn't expect to fall for the man inside it. Y/N is a marine biologist with something to prove. The remote Norwegian facility offers her the career-making opportunity of a lifetime: study the Havmannen, a legendary orca-shifter held in captivity. A creature of myth. A scientific breakthrough waiting to happen. But Kael is no mindless specimen. He's intelligent. He's furious. And he wants nothing more than to see his human captors suffer. When a violent storm gives him the chance to escape, he doesn't flee. He saves her life instead. Stranded together in a hidden sea cave, the lines between scientist and subject blur. He is grieving, lonely, and more human than she ever imagined. She is curious, compassionate, and the first person to see him as something other than a monster. But their fragile bond is dangerous. The facility wants him exploited. The world wants him caged. And the deeper she falls, the more impossible their future becomes. She can save her career. Or she can save him. She can't do both.
