She ran from a man who made her small… and found a monster who refused to.

When Elara stumbles into a hidden town of creatures in the dead of night, the last thing she expects is safety—especially not from the gargoyle watching from above. Thorne is everything she should fear: claws, wings, and a presence carved from stone and shadow. But he never touches without permission. Never takes. Only protects.

As Elara begins to heal in a place where monsters are kinder than men, the line between fear and desire begins to blur. Because the more she sees of Thorne—the restraint, the quiet devotion, the way he holds himself back—the more she wants to step closer.

But love with a creature like him isn’t simple. And trusting again might be the most dangerous thing of all.

If you crave protective monsters, slow-burn tension, and a romance where consent is as powerful as desire… step into the dark.
