Christmas Shopping for a Mate (Milson Valley 34‪)‬

[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Alternative, Interracial, Wizards/Witches, Fae, Shifters, Gargoyles, Vampires, Paranormals, Magic, MM, HEA] Anton Surkov, a powerful, jovial and warm-hearted gargoyle warrior, is taking his younger siblings and cousins to the movies when he unexpectedly discovers his fated mate, Dale Howard, a hardworking assistant floor manager at a busy department store. Thrilled, Anton approaches and is stunned when Dale uses a one-time pass that grants nearly anything he wants, including rejecting a mate. Refusing to give up, Anton chooses to be patience and persistent. He consistently visits Dale at the store to Christmas shop, slowly capturing his mate’s attention. And it works. Dale can’t help noticing Anton, the man is happy and is so damn determined he causes Dale’s heart to race. When Anton is suddenly shot and taken to the gargoyle domain for safety, Dale’s avoidance of the mate situation does a sudden turn. He couldn’t avoid the mate connection and staying with Anton after the shooting draws them close physically and emotionally, and soon he’s wondering how he’d ever resisted his jolly gargoyle.
