For Lorn De LaRue, Gargoyles have always been as common place as the humans they are sworn to protect. It's up to Lorn to make sure their existence is preserved -- by any means necessary. Right now the means would appear to be Dr. Fatima Smith, an ebony beauty who never imagined her interest in Gothic folklore would force her into a world she had never known existed. Time is running out, and Lorn is determined Fatima will come to terms with her new life as his mate. Fatima finds herself thrust into a reality that includes Gargoyles, Elves, and Succubae... oh my Unsure of the new world around her, she's torn between her new lover, old friend and the beasties threatening the very existence of the human race. Who can she trust?
