All my life, I was a human in a town full of supernatural beings.Until I discover that I have latent magic and a dangerous destiny to fulfill.I need protection and Dax Tremaine, a gargoyle I've known since childhood, volunteers for the job. He doesn't know that I've been in love with him for a decade. Or that I'm still a virgin because I can't let go of my fantasies of our future.I never thought he would know, much less want me. Until a warlock casts a spell on me and Dax kisses me to break it.The heat between us explodes but Dax is holding back. As the peril around me grows, I learn more about Dax's past...and why he won't let himself love me.I'm determined to survive my destiny and protect everyone I love. Especially a certain gruff gargoyle.But unless Dax can open his heart, I may not get my happily ever after.
