A gorgeous, charismatic, too-sexy-for-his-own-good Alpha, to be precise. But, of course, things can't ever go smoothly. Nicole ends up rejected like it's a bad fever dream. Cool. Fine. Whatever. She's had worse mornings. Until her boyfriend turns up dead. Now she’s the prime suspect, her one-night stand is the lead investigator, and fate is laughing in her face. Oh—and did we mention the part where she has magic? Not the cute crystal-in-your-bra kind. The kind she's not supposed to talk about. The kind that gets noticed. As the case unravels, so does Nicole’s carefully controlled life. Her powers are spiking. People are dying. And hidden conspiracies keep coming to light... -- This is a fated/rejected mates urban fantasy romance. Content warning for: Nudity, more nudity, swear words, inappropriate humor, dead people, undead people, incomprehensible amounts of magic, too much supernatural whosits and whatsits, werewolves and all the fetishes that come with them, did I mention the nudity?, and a questionable level of sanity at times.

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
