Santa baby, slip an Englishman under the tree for me…

When I received a letter in the mail explaining that I had inherited my great-aunt’s estate in England, I thought it was a scam. That kind of stuff only happens in the movies, and last I checked, I was not the main character in Hallmark’s latest flick.

But it was real. And something possessed me to say yes.

Six months later, I’m boarding a flight to England, ready and anxious to get my new life started.

What I didn’t expect was to land mid-snowstorm, or to find a handsome, older man waiting for me at baggage claim. He’s tall, rugged, and drives an ancient Rover that looks like it’s seen better days.

And because of said storm, we’re now stuck together in my new home. Snowed in for the foreseeable future.

Then there’s the chemistry we have, which neither one of us seems too eager to ignore.

Hell, maybe I am the main character after all…

After getting laid off from my job, all I want to do is go home, put on a Halloween movie, and take a hot bath to soak away my troubles.

But things take a turn as soon as my head sinks below the water.

When I come back up for air and open my eyes, I'm not in my bathtub anymore—I'm in the arms of a very large, very gray, very masculine man.

Turns out, he's a gargoyle, and I'm no longer in my world.

Thoren says I'm his mate, that he's waited for me for his entire life. And there's no denying this pull between us. But I'm determined to figure out a way to get back home.

There's just one problem, the bond is growing stronger every day. When he's away, there's a heaviness in my chest. And when he's near, my body aches for him.

Leaving him may be harder than I originally thought.

Alys grew up hearing stories about the Fae that were hunting her; dark, powerful creatures that could live forever.

Her mother warned her about them, moving them from city to city, always trying to stay one step ahead. But Alys always thought they were merely the ramblings of an eccentric woman and let her guard down once her mother was gone.

Left on her own, she's found, marked, and taken. Asher is tall, dark, and handsome…and Fae. He claims he took Alys from the human world for her own safety but she doesn't trust him or the dangerous feeling he stirs inside of her.

As he pushes, she pulls, refusing to be used as a pawn in whatever game he's playing.

Forced to live under the same roof as her captor, Alys soon learns there's more to the story, discovering the disturbing truth about her connection to Asher. When the opportunity to leave presents itself, it won't be easy for her to walk away. Faced with an impossible decision, she'll have to choose what life she wants to lead, and who she wants to lead it with.
