Tidegift & the Water Guardian

A Spicy Fated Bond Fae Romance of Sacred Vows and Desire

She escaped the sea once. But the island that saved her may have claimed her long before she washed ashore.

After escaping captivity in a devastating shipwreck, Halveria washes ashore on a remote island and into the care of Bacariell, a Water Fae guardian who calls her Tidegift.

As he heals her wounds, an undeniable bond grows between them. But Bacariell’s life is ruled by sacred vows, and desire has no place in the duty binding him to the sanctum he protects.

When the island’s secrets begin to surface, Halveria discovers that the man who saved her may also be the one ordered to surrender her.

Contains mature themes, sensual intimacy, and the emotional weight of fantasy love stories where hearts are tested and happily ever afters are earned.

Tidegift & the Water Guardian was such a perfect short story. There is magic, mystery, duty, slow burn, fighting, and bonds that somehow make this small glimpse into the world feel so much bigger than it is. ... The writing is beautiful ... and I was completely invested from beginning to end.

A pretty fast read and unputdownable. There was some action, adventure, close proximity and forbidden love. The characters were fantastic and written with depth. ... The world in which this story was written in was amazing and captivating and the description is vivid and beautiful enough to feel as if you were right there. A highly recommended read!
