The Tidebound Rejection

Cassian Rook rejected Mara Quill in front of the entire harbor—just as their fated bond ignited beneath their skin. Then the flood alarms screamed, and the city began to sink. To stop Blackwater Harbor from drowning, the cold commander must drag the woman he shamed into the sealed tide-control tower and share his life-tide with her. Every touch forces them to feel each other’s pain, memories, and forbidden desire, while Mara’s hidden bloodline reveals a conspiracy tied to Cassian’s own command seal. He may be the only man who can save her—or the one who betrayed the entire city. When the gates collapse and the true mastermind demands Mara’s blood, will she trust the man who rejected her, or let Blackwater Harbor—and Cassian—drown?
