Stone doesn't bleed. It doesn't hunger. And it sure as hell doesn't tell you to run.
Tamsin Quill came to Grimvale Cathedral to investigate a structural failure.
Instead, she found a man buried inside the walls.
For three hundred twenty-seven years, Rhydian Mordane has been chained beneath the cathedral, transformed into its living foundation by an oath deliberately twisted into a prison.
Winged. Clawed. Violent. Very much awake. And extremely pissed off.
Tamsin should report him. She should run. Instead, the half-fae conservator puts her hands on the cracks and starts figuring out how to break him free.
Bad idea.
Because the men who buried Rhydian never left Grimvale. Their descendants have spent centuries maintaining the lie, and they have no intention of letting one stubborn woman and one murderous gargoyle destroy what they built.
When Tamsin becomes leverage, Rhydian stops pretending there is anything civilized about him.
He will break bones for her. Spill blood for her. Bring the cathedral down around them before he lets anyone put another chain around her throat.
There's just one problem. Tamsin Quill belongs to no one.
Not the committee hunting them. Not the bloodline trying to control her. And not the sexy monster who looks at her like he'd happily slaughter the world and call the bodies an offering.
If Rhydian wants her, he'll have to do the one thing no one bothered to do for him.
Ask.
Bound to the Gargoyle is a dark, explicit Gothic monster romance featuring a lethal winged protector, a sharp-tongued half-fae heroine, ancient oaths, hidden cults, touch-starved obsession, blood-soaked secrets, forced proximity, praise and possessive energy, and a bond built on one rule: Mine never means owned.
Welcome to Grimvale. The first sentinel is awake.
TRIGGER / CONTENT WARNING
ENTER GRIMVALE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is not a gentle monster romance.
Bound to the Gargoyle contains graphic violence, on-page killing, blood and bodily injury, broken bones, death, attempted abduction, magical coercion and forced obedience, ritual blood magic, cult activity, centuries-long conscious imprisonment, confinement, structural collapse and entrapment, body-to-stone transformation, threats, possessive/protective monster behavior, biting and marking, dominance and praise elements, and explicit on-page sex including heavy petting, oral sex, penetration, unprotected sex, and internal ejaculation.
Rhydian is dangerous. He kills. He does not apologize for protecting what matters to him.
But sexual consent between the main couple is explicit and ongoing. Boundaries are discussed, permission is requested, and the story deliberately distinguishes possession from ownership.
No cheating. 18+ only.
Okay, you've been warned. Let's do this.: )
