Fatima finds herself thrust into a reality that includes Gargoyles, Elves, Succubae... oh my! Unsure of the new world around her, she's torn between her new lover, old friend and the beasties threatening the very existence of the human race. Who can she trust? Time is running out, and Lorn is determined that Fatima will come to terms with her new life as his mate.

Ebony Beauties Wanted To Marry Rich Bachelors. Age: Unimportant. Must be willing to relocate. Criterion: Winged Shaped Birthmark. Tattoos are not acceptable!!! Aman almost falls out of her chair in laughter after reading the personal ad on the cover of her morning paper. There's no way it can be real. What kind of gold diggers would respond? Better still what type of desperate old man would place the ad in the first place? To each his own! She just knows she and her little winged birthmark are going to stay clear.

What was once thought of as a humorous advertisement has quickly turned into a permanent problem for Aman. Now she finds herself mated to a sexy, mythical man (of sorts) who insists she belongs to him. The disturbing part is that she's not entirely certain he's wrong. Sergei considers himself a lucky Gargoyle to have found his mate so quickly while others of his species face an uncertain future. He's determined to do anything to make Aman happy, well, short of agreeing to her ridiculous request that they have time apart. He longs for the day when his little hell-cat will accept their union instead of tormenting him at every turn. Just as it seems the couple has reached an impenetrable impasse, a snap decision threatens to tear the pair apart permanently and push Sergei to the point of no return.

For Lorn De LaRue, Gargoyles have always been as common place as the humans they are sworn to protect. It's up to Lorn to make sure their existence is preserved—by any means necessary. Right now the means would appear to be Dr. Fatima Smith, an ebony beauty who never imagined her interest in Gothic folklore would force her into a world she had never known existed. Time is running out, and Lorn is determined Fatima will come to terms with her new life as his mate. Fatima finds herself thrust into a reality that includes Gargoyles, Elves, and Succubae... oh my! Unsure of the new world around her, she's torn between her new lover, old friend and the beasties threatening the very existence of the human race. Who can she trust?
