Description
He turned to stone five hundred years ago. Then his fated mate turned up with a wrecking ball.
Structural engineer Stacey has brought down bigger buildings than one crumbling Scottish kirk, and she signs the demolition order without a second thought.
Then the gargoyle she marked for the skip wakes up, pins her to the wall and growls that she just tried to kill him – right before announcing that she’s his fated mate.
Hallr has guarded the crumbling kirk for centuries, and he has no interest in a bossy human with a hard hat and a wrecking ball…until her hand lands on his chest and the stone comes roaring back to life.
There’s just one problem. Thanks to a filing mix-up at the Hot Tatties Dating Agency, Hallr is officially matched to another woman – and the agency is adamant that Stacey isn’t his mate.
Hallr knows better.
Stacey can bulldoze his home, argue with his matchmaker and deny their bond until she’s blue in the face, but fate has trapped them together. Stray too far from her and Hallr crumbles straight back to stone. The only thing that keeps him warm and breathing is a taste of her blood.
Hallr has waited five hundred years for exactly one mate. He has no intention of letting a wrecking ball, a filing error or Stacey’s stubborn refusal stand between them.
Good thing gargoyles are built to last.
