Three weeks at sea. Two researchers. One chance to evolve.
“What would Charles Darwin do?”
In Charlie Bowen’s twenty-six years of life, the motto has never failed her. Until now. She’s confident the naturalist wouldn’t know what to do if he were stuck at sea with Mateo Alvarez. Throw him overboard, most likely.
Participating as a scientific advisor on the SeaStar research vessel is Charlie’s dream come true. However, her fantasies never included a documentary film or cohabitation in tiny quarters with her sworn enemy. Despite her exhilaration to uncover what lurks in the ocean’s depths, she’s wholly unprepared to discover something far more revolutionary at the surface—with Mateo, it’s hard to hide the scars of her past. Worse, she may not want to.
For years, she’s abided by a strict set of guidelines to keep her heart safe. Her life begins and ends with her best friend and PhD work. Yet with every lingering glance, broken rule, and stolen kiss, Charlie begins to rediscover parts of herself she once considered lost.
But life at sea is not the real world—a reality that continues to haunt her, even miles offshore—and as the two move into unknown territory with each other, there’s one question that matters most: Can their relationship evolve into something spectacular, or are they doomed for extinction?

Get a Rec from me & What my Taste in books look like
What are some books that represent your taste overall and do we have any in common? 👀
Before we dive into this, Bindery now has an option to request recs and you can go to the 🔗 in my bio and click “Get a Rec” and ask for details of what you’d like from the books I’ve read! I’m also making lists of 2026 releases in fantasy, romance and horror so far so happy to share some of these early on with you guys (these will be recs of what I’m looking forward to rather than what I’ve read) so GO GO GO 🤎
As for my taste in books, I’m never going to be the type that picks only 5 top books for the year guys and I’ve learned to accept it because honestly, what do you mean my top 5 books in one year? I would have to host a meeting with myself for a whole month to decide that 😭 So instead, you guys get my taste in books throughout various sub-genres that I yap about all the time!
