Snowed In With the GargoyleA Cozy Holiday Monster Romance
Ever wondered if a statue is real?
Sierra
I didn’t. Until the gargoyle outside my office window started accepting my coffee, chocolate, and power bars and paying me back in hand-carved bottle caps. Weird? Absolutely. But after a year of terrible dates, I’ll take mysterious companionship from a stone statue.
Then Christmas Eve happens. A last-minute contract, a blizzard, a power outage, and suddenly I’m snowed in at the office with the mysterious gargoyle I’ve been feeding all summer.
Except… he’s not a statue.
Darius
I’ve been stone for eighty years, and I had no intention of waking yet. Then Sierra happened with her tantalizing scent and tempting little offerings. A blizzard traps her in the freezing office, and if I want to keep her alive, I have to break the one rule I’ve spent my entire life living by.
I’m not supposed to reveal myself. I’m certainly not supposed to touch her. Unfortunately, my fated mate has a talent for making impossible things irresistible.
Oh, and apparently, we’re adopting a cat.
Snowed In With the Gargoyle is a short, steamy novella that is part of the Monsters and Mistletoe shared author series.
