The Gargoyle and the Lady by Sara Ivy Hill

Can a monster save her from a monster?
Hannalinde is a lady no longer. Her father’s treason stripped her of her home and title years ago, and the monster who hunts her at night has taken what little dignity she had left. Now, the half-gargoyle child growing inside her has made her situation urgent.

The goblin wars left Rikard a hero, but one with deep scars, ruined wings, and the inability to continue his line. His legacy is slipping through his fingers.

He requires a mate and an heir to keep his family’s standing. She needs protection only a gargoyle husband can provide. The logical solution to both their problems? A marriage of convenience with the simplest terms: no bedding and no biting.
But the longer they share a home, the harder it is to pretend that it’s just an arrangement. She mends things in him the healers said were beyond repair. He gives her back pieces of herself she thought were gone for good. And the careful distance they agreed upon is disappearing fast.

However, the monster who hurt her is still out there. And the secrets holding their marriage together could be the same ones that tear it apart…

The Gargoyle & the Lady is a steamy high-fantasy monster romance with a grumpy, protective gargoyle hero, a marriage of convenience, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It’s the second standalone book in the Nightfall Guardians monster romance series about powerful gargoyle guardians who defend their mates against the world…at any cost.
