Bartender. Reluctant thief. Potentially doomed. Over the past three years, I’ve been trying to save my brother from a monster’s terrible curse. Stealing potential magical solutions, searching for a cure, desperate to get him back. But I’m failing, life constantly getting in the way. Damn. And then my world is turned upside down in one eventful weekend. I never expected the gargoyle’s mark… After being forced to steal a strange ring by one gargoyle, I find myself marked by another. Asher… He becomes my bodyguard, duty-bound to be by my side. Gargoyles never mark humans to offer their exclusive protection anymore. There’s no need. Their magical system keeps us all safe from the monsters plaguing our world. Which means there is a different kind of nasty lurking in the shadows, waiting to take me down. Why me? As I search for answers, I find myself enraptured by Asher. He is a walking temptation, beyond delicious, setting my pulse on fire. But I must resist him, despite this instant attraction. Easier said than done. And his constant proximity isn’t helping at all. I really don’t need any more complications in my life! But Asher would be the sweetest complication... Stone Temptation is the first book in an M/M Paranormal Romance series featuring a human wreathed in mystery, and a gargoyle with a love for scented candles, crystal healing, and kicking monster ass. Dive into a twisty tale packed with gargoyles, monsters, magic, plenty of mayhem, and a sprinkle of spice. This series follows the same couple, their romance blossoming across the books with an eventual HEA. This book is not a standalone.
