Description

The first book in New York Times bestselling author Christine Warren sexy Gargoyle series about a beautiful young woman who uncovers a strong, stoic beast—who turns out to be the man of her dreams...
Ella Harrow is trying to carve out a normal life for herself, despite her psychic abilities. As museum docent and gift-shop manager, Ella is able to keep her distance from people—and her powers in check—while surrounding herself with the artifacts she loves.
But when a thousand-year-old statue, complete with fangs and wings comes to life, how is Ella supposed to react? She's never seen anyone more hard-bodied, deadly...or disastrously desirous than the male who now stands before her.
Kees is not your ordinary gargoyle. He is a Guardian, sworn to protect humans from danger. But when a stunning human triggers his reawakening, the powerful lust and urge to protect this woman rears from the depths of his soul. As Kees's heart slowly opens to his beauty, he and Ella must stand together in order to fight the evil that threatens the world...
"Soars with fun, witty characters and nonstop action." ?Publishers Weekly on Stone Cold Lover

      • bioText: Christine Warren is the New York Times bestselling author of The Others series, including Wolf at the Door, Big Bad Wolf, Born to Be Wild, Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here, and Black Magic Woman. Born and raised in coastal New England, she now lives as a transplant in the Pacific Northwest. (She completely bypassed those states in the middle due to her phobia of being landlocked). When not writing, she enjoys horseback riding, playing with her pets, identifying dogs from photos of their underbellies, concocting all sorts of yummies (both liquid and solid), and, most of all, reading things someone else had to agonize over.

        November 25, 2013
        Warren (Hungry Like a Wolf) launches a series with this solid paranormal romance. After museum docent Ella Harrow is accosted by a sleazy philanthropist, she teasingly chides a grotesque gargoyle statue for not protecting her. It springs to life, startling them both. Kees, a member of the Guild of Wardens, is puzzled to be woken from his magical slumber by a human with untrained magical abilities. Ella is drawn to Kees’s gorgeous new form as he explains the danger of the seven demons of the Dark, but problems quickly overshadow lust: the police search for the missing statue, Kees encounters dead ends in finding his team, and inexplicable events foreshadow encroaching evil. The sexual attraction between Kees and Ella is palpable, and readers will love watching the logical Kees fight the concept of emotions as Ella blossoms from a guilt-laden hermit into a gutsy heroine. Despite some repetition, this is a clever, wry tale that bodes well for future installments.
