ARC Opportunity for The Gargoyle & the Spinster
May 06, 2025 4:26 pm
Hi lovely,
Ready for a taste of my brand new fantasy monster romance?
I’m getting ready to launch my new gargoyle romance series. First up, the prequel novella!
THE GARGOYLE & THE SPINSTER is a 25,000-word novella about a stoic gargoyle who guards a seaside village and the vibrant human woman who catches his eye. It’s a high-fantasy monster romance full of pining, language barrier, and size difference (a few of my favorite tropes and I hope yours, too)! It's short and steamy with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
I’m looking for Amazon and Goodreads reviews on or soon after the official launch on June 5! If you can commit to that time frame, you’re invited to download an advance review copy.
Note: this version has some spicy art inside! As always, please do not share this link or distribute the ARC in any way. It is for your personal use only.
The village spinster. The monster who guards the gate. One night that changes everything.
Daughter of a fisherman, Maggie’s true love has always been the sea. Maybe that’s why she never married. But when her father grows too sick to captain his ship, she shoulders the weight of her family’s survival, even if it means accepting a marriage proposal from a greedy sailor who wants their fishing boat more than her.
It’s not the life she dreamed of, but dreams don’t put food on the table.
Evrard has guarded Brinehelm for years, watching over the village gate. Now, war calls him away to fight the encroaching goblin horde. Though he doesn’t question his duty, he will miss the brave human woman who meets his gaze without fear.
When Maggie learns he’s leaving, she offers him a goodbye to remember: One reckless night. No promises. No regrets.
They both know it can’t last beyond the morning.
But with Evrard gone, Maggie must face a future she doesn’t want—and a man determined to take everything from her. And when Evrard reaches his new post, he realizes leaving her unprotected might be his greatest mistake.
She’s done sacrificing herself for others. He’s done following orders. And this time, nothing will keep them apart.
The Gargoyle & the Spinster is a short, steamy prequel to the Nightfall Guardians series filled with forbidden love, a protective gargoyle, and the human woman who earns his ultimate devotion.
