The Sea-Ogre's Eager Bride

The oceanic setting and monster romance vibe are so unique. I'm curious whether the mythological elements or personal interests influenced this creative choice.

The push and pull between the characters was so fiery — did that come naturally in the writing or did it take some balancing to keep it believable?

The story shifts smoothly but I wonder if the pacing was planned to keep readers hooked or if it evolved during writing to maintain tension.
