A Thousand Heartbeats
Same author's tender, low-heat forbidden romance with a guaranteed happy ending, but swaps sea-curse melancholy for royal court intrigue, war, and enemies-to-lovers friction.
The Elite (The Selection #2)
Same author's yearning, chaste romance where love is forbidden by duty, but set in a palace competition with a love triangle instead of ocean magic.
Legendary
Lush YA fantasy romance with forbidden attraction and slow-burn longing, but darker and trickier, with a morally grey love interest and a game-like plot.
Caraval / Legendary / Finale / Spectacular
Dreamy YA fantasy romance built on forbidden love, sisterly found-family, and slow burn; more magical-mystery plotting and a higher body count of secrets.
Icebreaker
Another forbidden slow-burn with a tight found-family crew, but swapped for a contemporary hockey setting and far more explicit heat.
Maybe someday
Keeps the aching forbidden slow-burn where love feels like a betrayal, though it trades ocean magic for a grittier, heavier contemporary with real spice.
