Stone Embrace

By E.J. James

Cleo Williams didn't come to Rittenhouse Square looking for love-especially not the kind carved in granite and soaked in ancient power. But when her fingers brush the cold chest of a forgotten gargoyle during a late-night inspection, the impossible happens. Stone becomes skin. Eyes glow blue. And a winged protector with a body built to wreck her self-control awakens with one mission: claim the woman who freed him.

Alaric has guarded Philadelphia's secrets for over two hundred years, trapped between flesh and stone. Until Cleo. Her scent, her touch, the way she moans his name-everything about her calls to the beast inside him. But the more he indulges in her warm, willing body, the closer he comes to losing his last grip on duty.

Now, with a rival determined to expose them and ancient magic rising beneath the city, Cleo has a choice: walk away from the only male who's ever made her truly feel... or risk letting his hard, inhuman body ruin her for anyone else.
Philadelphia's hottest love affair isn't between mortals... it's between stone, flesh, and the woman brave enough to take it all.
