As King Meade's new healer, Ellanora has two secrets that could destroy her: she's a psychic, and she's in love with the king.
When Ellanora's secrets are exposed in court, not only is her reputation at stake, but so is the king's. Her only recourse is to become betrothed immediately to the first suitable man who presents himself. Marriage will quiet the palace gossips and enable Ellanora to retain her position as master healer.
But should Ellanora marry a man she doesn't love to protect the only man she will ever truly love?
"This fantasy romance short story had court gossip, an age gap forbidden love, arranged marriages, a king with secrets, and a healer with special gifts. I loved how Ellanora and Meade's story unfolded, with whimsical world building that was swoony."
An Unfortunate Reputation is a sweet and clean fantasy romance set in Toni Cabell’s Water Witch world. This standalone novella is technically a prequel, but fans prefer to read it AFTER The Lightness of Water.
Four years ago, Linden Arlyss managed to lift the mists surrounding Delavan Manor for ninety seconds, just long enough for her injured brother, Matteo “Tam” Arlyss, to slip inside and return home.
But the mists are thinning more with each passing day, which means the magic that has kept Delavan Manor safely hidden from the outside world is waning. Tam must prepare to show himself, gruesome scars and all, to society once again.
Even worse, Tam must steel himself for the inevitable departure of the one bright spot in his dreary life: Jorri Jermyn. The beautiful animal healer and her refugee family have been living at Delavan since the start of the war. The only thing preventing Jorri from leaving are the magical wards surrounding the estate. Once they’re down, Jorri will be gone. And Tam can’t really blame her for wanting to leave.
After all, no young woman could ever learn to love the scarred mage of Delavan.
Or could she?
