Protected by the Cursed Gargoyle: A Fated Mates Paranormal Romance (My Monster, My Protector) by Chloe Graves

What is fate but desire set in stone?

Gwen
Running an antique shop is more dust and desk work than ancient artifacts and dodging boulders. Or so I tell myself when vampires attack, seeking a strange diadem my fingers itch to place on my head. Alone, outnumbered, I'm another loss in a war I don't understand—only to be rescued by a high flying escape on wings of stone.

Onyx eyes don't lie when my gargoyle guardian explains I'm a witch with a target on my back. His solemn vow to protect me feels as solid as his carved chest, and his chiseled arms offer a safety I've never known.

But he guards a secret that threatens to break the one relic I can't salvage—my heart.

Garrex
Cursed to stillness by day and living stone by night, I've spent centuries atoning for my failure and waiting. For her, for Gwen, my mate.

Her fiery spirit and stubborn determination draw me in like a moth to a flame, even as her reckless bravery tests the limits of my patience. With every glimpse of her untamed magic, I find myself falling deeper under the captivating witch's spell.

But the shadows of my past are relentless, and Gwen is hunted by the same ancient evil that claimed my previous ward.

I vow to guard Gwen with my life, my love, my everything—even if the truth of my ruin shatters the bond between us.

Protected by the Cursed Gargoyle is a standalone paranormal romance novella in the My Monster, My Protector series. Perfect for fans of steamy fated mates, crafty heroines with dangerous destinies, and insistent, brooding bodyguard gargoyle heroes.

My Monster, My Protector

In a world where the things that go bump in the night don’t just lurk—they love, My Monster, My Protector offers a darkly intimate look at the bond between beast and beloved. Each book unearths a new, primal protector—creatures feared for their strength, shunned for their form, and yet drawn irresistibly to the women who refuse to flinch. These are not fairytales dressed in velvet; they’re raw, feral romances where danger is constant, and devotion runs deeper than instinct.

What makes this series stand apart isn’t just the heat or the tension—it’s the surprising tenderness found in places most would never think to look. Set in richly imagined worlds filled with ancient curses, shadowy forests, and hidden realms, the stories balance gritty survival with slow-burning connection. Heroines aren’t here to be saved—they’re survivors in their own right, and sometimes it’s the monster who learns what it means to be human.

Part paranormal romance, part monster fantasy, this series thrives on contrast: beauty and brutality, fear and longing, otherness and understanding. For readers who crave protective anti-heroes, haunting atmospheres, and stories that blend myth and menace with deep emotional payoff, this series slips under the skin and stays there.
