Ink’s Grace is a slow burn Cetean love story set in the Underwater World. This age gap romance is a journey of trauma and healing, where two wounded souls come together over chocolate. Divina knows not all scars are created equal, there are no rules for healing, that each journey has highs and lows, just like any life-giving ocean… Yet she cannot shake the idea of health she imposes on herself. Her life and body have been marked by tragedy, from before she was even born, to her most recent trials in flesh trade with the Witches. Now she is locked in a war between her passionate desire and her aversion to touch. Something must break. Francis is a disciplined male, fully in control of his mind and emotions, but Divina, Requiem housemaid and survivor, tests him with quiet snark and conservative beauty.
