Caught in the Dark Navy Admiral’s Net

Selah Cardi was once an ordinary marine biology student, but her life takes an unexpected turn when she awakens inside the pages of a romance novel as a minor, inconsequential background character. Determined to navigate the story and secure her survival, she intervenes in the plot by rescuing Maria, hoping to earn the lasting gratitude and protection of Maria’s fiancé, Duke Herbert. With this strategic move, Selah believes she has successfully paved the way for a quiet, uneventful life away from the novel's central drama. However, her carefully laid plans unravel when Admiral Ellaim takes a sudden interest in her. He discovers that Selah possesses a rare magical ability: the power to breathe underwater. This revelation leads to an even more astonishing truth—Ellaim is not entirely human, but rather a merman known as a siren. Afflicted by a mysterious illness, he realizes that Selah’s unique aquatic powers are the key to his recovery, binding their fates together in ways she never anticipated. Now caught in the admiral’s inescapable net, Selah finds herself entangled with a powerful figure who refuses to let her go. As the demands of his condition draw her deeper into his world, she must wonder if her simple dream of retiring peacefully by the sea will ever become a reality.
