My Lab Experiment Claimed Me as His Mate

Nora has thirty days to teach a mute deep-sea hybrid how to bond — or he goes to the dissection table. Palm to glass, hand in hand, she teaches him every lesson of courtship, never realizing he’s the last Kraken alive and he’s been saying yes all along. When she learns the truth and tries to run, he shatters the glass and takes her to the abyss as his mate. But in the drowned ruins below, Nora remembers a boy in a tank, a stolen summer, and a promise she never kept.
