  It’s time to remove her crown. Aurora was raised to lead, with the expectation that she will one day become ruler of the Mer of Triste Island. There’s just one problem. Nobody’s bothered to ask Aurora if she wants to be queen. Chafing at the confines of her role, Aurora risks everything for a chance at a new life. Ready for adventure, Aurora washes up on Siren Island at the feet of one very bewildered video-game designer. The clock is ticking before the Royal guards find her, and Aurora is determined to experience everything that life on Siren Island can offer. Including Nathan. Nathan can’t believe his eyes when the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen in real life walks out of the ocean and asks him for a kiss. From the moment he meets Aurora, his life is turned upside down. Painfully shy, with a heart of gold, Nathan finds himself torn between falling for Aurora and protecting the seemingly naive beauty. It isn’t long before her past comes calling, and Aurora is forced to make a choice between her people and the only man who has ever seen her for who she truly is. Can she have it all–or will Aurora choose duty over love?

  Goddess of the sea 
  Head of the Zephyr Maritime Administration. 
  Spymaster. 
  Amphitrite has always lived in the shadows of her sisters, but the shadows are where she does her best work. Living two lives was always easy enough for the Goddess; from being a pirate ship captain chasing secrets instead of gold to an upstanding government official. She has worked alongside her spies and sirens for centuries, guarding both the sea and Halcyon. 
  But a war has started against the Titans, and the darkness taking over the sea is now more than she can handle alone. 
  West Murphy has been the golden heir all his life, making selfish choices and surrounding himself with disposable people. That was until the night an act of violence forever changed his life. Now, feeling betrayed by everyone he knows, he considers himself a hollow shell of a man with no true purpose. 
  Until a tsunami changes the tides of his fate forever. 
  This is book two in the "Reign of Goddesses" series. To truly enjoy book two, it is recommended that you read book one. 
  TW: adult subject matter discussed. Recommended for 18+. Scenes of violence and assault are all happening in the past.
