The SC Heathglow’s orders from the Federation were simple: survey and report. Lieutenant Saxby expected another dull “bag and tag” mission. What he finds instead is a sentient world that claims him—rewriting his DNA strand by screaming strand the moment he touches the water.

Adapt or die. Those are Saxby’s only choices.
Indigo, the planet’s living heart, has seen countless species fail to adapt. But Saxby’s stubborn resilience draws Indigo close. As Saxby develops scaled skin, gills, and a physiology designed for the crushing depths, Indigo helps him navigate the shift, quietly hiding his growing attraction.
Saxby flees back to the planet after realizing the Federation may have deliberately sacrificed him. There, as their bond deepens, Indigo’s otherworldly anatomy redefines everything Saxby knew about intimacy.
What begins as survival becomes a love that transcends species, space, and the cold ocean depths. Together, Saxby and Indigo must stand against an empire desperate to control what it cannot understand—even if it means revealing the planet’s deadliest secret.

Music of the Ocean, book one in the Don’t Touch the Water series, is a story of transformation, belonging, and the terrifying beauty of falling in love with something not quite human.
