She restores ancient stone for a living. She's about to bring one very grumpy gargoyle back to life.

For centuries, Cairn has stood watch over a ruined Scottish castle.

Literally.

An alien gargoyle trapped in stone, he's waited through wars, storms and the passing of empires for the one woman destined to wake him. The only problem? Humans thought he was just another statue.

Traditional stonemason Georgie has spent her career restoring Scotland's historic buildings. Cleaning centuries of moss from an ancient gargoyle should have been just another day on the job... until the statue opens its eyes.

Now an impossibly handsome winged alien insists she's his fated mate, a matchmaking agency wants to help free his still-slumbering brothers, and someone will do anything to keep the gargoyles trapped in stone forever.

There's just one tiny complication: stray too far from Georgie, and Cairn turns straight back to stone. The only way to keep him warm, winged and hers is to let him taste her blood.

After hundreds of years alone, Cairn has finally found the woman who can bring him back to life. Convincing Georgie they're meant to be together may prove even harder than surviving six centuries as a statue.
