Gargoyled at First Sight

Sammy: After years of barely scraping by, I finally found stability in a job as a manager at Harmony Glen's botanical gardens. It’s a safe place for my son, Corey, and maybe a safe place for me. I've learned the hard way that trusting leads to heartbreak, so when Gavrel arrives from France, all sophisticated charm and patient smiles, I keep my distance. But he's impossible to ignore when he's making breakfast for Corey, helping fix sprinklers, and looking at me like I’m worth fighting for. Then Corey's estranged grandmother shows up threatening legal action, and suddenly Gavrel is the only thing standing between me and losing everything. I’m afraid of falling for him, but I think it might already be too late.

Gavrel: Not long after I meet Sammy, I know she's my fated mate. She doesn’t trust easily, and I understand why. She's been hurt and abandoned before. So I’ll prove myself through patience. I’ll fly her son to school, repair what’s broken, and show her what it means to have someone who stays. When her past threatens to destroy the life she’s built, I’ll fight with everything I have to protect my mate and the boy who’s already claimed a place in my heart. Now I just need to convince her that some bonds are meant to last forever.

Gargoyled at First Sight is part of the Harmony Glen shared world. Expect fated mates, yearning, cozy small town monster setting, guardian/protector, a lonely hero, found family, and he falls first tropes.

Though they once lived in secret, “monsters” have inhabited the earth as long as humans. As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, the ability to remain hidden dwindled. Earth’s nonhuman creatures faced a choice: allow themselves to be discovered, or step forward and introduce themselves. Either option could have ended badly for monsters and humans alike—and in some places, it did.

But not in Harmony Glen.

After The Great Revelation, Harmony Glen welcomed monsters with open arms. This small, lakeside town in Upstate New York is now home to humans and nonhumans! Integration has been so successful in Harmony Glen, the town even changed its motto to “Come for the harmony, stay for the happily ever after.”
