Groves and Granite
(2025)(The third book in the Brightstone Bay Romantic Comedies series)
A novel by Paula Lester
When a rule-bound gargoyle and a free-spirited dryad accidentally awaken an ancient power beneath Brightstone Bay, they’re forced into the world’s strangest partnership—half investigation, half accidental courtship.
Ellia Greenroot only wanted to heal her grove, not unleash the town’s biggest magical headache in centuries. Garric Grimaldsson, the Council’s most unflappable containment officer, arrived to keep things ‘under control.’ But when their opposing magics spark, the results are anything but orderly.
Now the pair must balance duty and desire as a living heartstone threatens to remake the coast, bureaucrats swarm like seagulls, and a mouthy forest sprite keeps taking bets on when they’ll finally kiss.
If Brightstone Bay has taught them anything, it’s that love—like magic—is impossible to regulate.
Groves and Granite is a laugh-out-loud paranormal rom-com full of banter, blossoming magic, and slow-burn chemistry, perfect for fans of cozy small-town fantasy and monster boyfriends with excellent paperwork habits.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
