Kit inherits a crumbling stone courthouse from a great-aunt she barely knew. The plan: sell it, save the lavender farm, move on.
The plan does not account for the gargoyle.
Aldric has been guarding this building for three hundred and twenty-three years. He's carved from limestone. He doesn't sleep. He doesn't eat. He doesn't leave. And he has opinions about the structural integrity of everything Kit touches.
He's seven feet of living stone, glowing amber eyes, wings that don't fit through doorways, and a communication style best described as "dry enough to start a fire." He tracks her heartbeat through three floors of masonry. He considers her ladder placement a personal affront. And he's been alone so long that the first time she touches his hand, every gargoyle on the building opens its eyes.
She can't sell the building without destroying him. She can't save the farm without the money. And she definitely can't keep pretending the stone man on the roof isn't the most interesting thing that's happened to her in twenty-nine years.
Some things are set in stone. Some things shouldn't be.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
