Kneading the Gargoyle (Creature Comforts #1)

One midnight massage. One ancient gargoyle. Zero chance of staying professional.

Tamsin Beck needs money. Fast.

Her rent is overdue, her hands are wrecked from too many massage clients, and the mysterious midnight job at Apex Wellness Clinic sounds like the start of a true crime episode.

But the signing bonus is enough to keep her off the street, so she takes the risk. Then she meets her first after-hours client.

Cyprian is not human. He is seven feet of stone, wings, heat, control, and ancient hunger.

A gargoyle CEO whose body is locking itself into permanent petrification, he has spent centuries surviving through discipline, isolation, and emotional restraint.

Until Tamsin puts her hands on him.

Her touch eases the stone-lock. His control starts to fracture.

And the more time she spends with the massive, brooding gargoyle who watches her like she is something precious, the harder it becomes to pretend this is only a job.

Cyprian knows better than to want her. Tamsin knows better than to trust a monster with too much money, too much power, and a dangerously possessive need to protect her.

But when a rival supernatural corporation targets Cyprian’s entire species, Tamsin becomes more than his massage therapist.

She becomes his weakness. His obsession. His mate. And Cyprian will tear through stone, steel, and blood before he lets anyone take her from him.
