Ella is used to doing as she's told and keeping busy, cooking and cleaning for her temperamental stepmother. But when she quite literally falls into the arms of a handsome water spirit named Rodan, she discovers that her proper life is missing a few things. Why is Rodan set on refusing her request, when he's clearly attracted to her? This short, sweet, and steamy open-door romance features virgin/'playboy' vibes, humor, hints of Cinderella and The Frog Prince, a mid-to-plus-sized, neurodiverse FMC, and an MMC who makes her breakfast. Crystalline is a Waterlore Romance, a series of sweet and steamy novelettes and short novels that can be read in any order.
