A quirky romance writer in hiding. A sexy gargoyle lover turned bodyguard. And a stalker who just won't quit...

Ryder Thomas (aka Ryder St. James)

I assumed writing swoony romance novels about humans and otherkind might attract some unsavory attention, but I never imagined I'd have an obsessive fan stalking me. Fortunately, my BFF Max has an in with a town he assures me can keep me safe.

As a former foster kid, I'm pretty resilient, but this situation is messing with my sleep, and I'm on deadline for my next book!

About the only thing that can help at times like this is some regular mind-blowing… release. Trust me, solo methods just aren't enough, and hooking up with randos isn't my style. I need someone safe who can reliably rock my world in the bedroom and maybe help me with my research as a bonus!

Enter the hunky Scottish gargoyle who's been flirting with me ever since I arrived to hide out in Mystic Hollow. We come up with an ideal no-strings and no-feelings arrangement until I leave town for my next book tour.

After all, romance is just a fantasy I write about in my books—right?

Hell's bells, but Ryder slips past all my defenses and wins my affection without even trying! Now, I'll do whatever it takes to keep the man I love safe. Even if it means putting my heart as well as my life on the line.
