The third book in New York Times bestselling author Christine Warren’s mesmerizing Gargoyles series, where even the most dangerous beast can be tamed by the woman he holds above all else…
Wynn Powe comes from a long line of powerful women, but when an elusive enemy draws too close for comfort, Wynn pursues a creature who can put an end to the fight.
But when the powerful Guardian she calls forth makes her heart beast faster and her breath quicken, she must handle something she didn’t count on at all—an earth-shattering attraction to the monster himself.
Enter Knox. He may be a newly summoned gargoyle, but he possesses all the skills and memories of his race…and that includes protecting the beautiful woman he’s bound to. But he never could have imagined the fierce attraction that has taken hold of him, body and soul. Is his desire for Wynn worth the risk of being destroyed?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Warren's third book of the paranormal romance Gargoyles series (after Stone Cold Lover) is an alluring, fast-moving tale with a wry, gutsy heroine and a sexy-as-sin hero. The Guardians who protect humans from the Order of Eternal Darkness have been turned into stone statues, and human Wardens need to find and revive them before the Order destroys them. Wynn Powe, a witch and healer, resents that women aren't permitted to be Wardens. She goes searching for a statue in an old mansion but finds only fragments. When she's attacked by the property's caretaker, a Guardian appears in fierce warrior form. Knox, a newbie Guardian whose human form is walking sex magnet, cannot believe the audacity of the feisty human witch; she both dispels his expectations of humans and is curiously fascinating. As Knox is brought up to speed on the activities of the Order, Wynn attempts to decipher her missing Warden brother's to-do list while resisting her attraction to Knox. A quirky ex-Warden uncle and a super hacker friend help with the mission, while seductive kisses and sizzling intimacy smooth out the edges in Wynn and Knox's relationship. This is a fiery, fierce, and fun outing in a series that has staying power.
