What's worse than being stalked by a gargoyle?
Falling in love with one.


Angie's made it her mission to hold onto the home that is last piece of her heritage. But when a mysterious man makes an offer on the life-sized gargoyle in her garden, she quickly discovers her property holds more than sentimental heirlooms. Beneath its stony facade hides a world where legends are more than mythology, and ancient stories have roots from beyond the stars. The stone sentinel that's guarded her family for generations is not only alive—

He's a sexy-as-hell alien who can't leave well enough alone.

Sten’s ship crashed on Earth centuries ago, and he has watched Angie's family for generations, sworn to protect his deceased friend's bloodline. He never understood what could drive a Khargal to break the Prime Directive and fall in love with a human, let alone procreate, but Angie makes Sten consider things beyond mere duty. She's resourceful, funny, and her smile is enough to melt a statue's heart.

And now she's in danger.

Unaware of her alien ancestry, Angie has no idea what's at stake. With enemies closing in, Sten is forced to break the silence he's maintained for centuries. Can he convince this stubborn human she belongs on another world? More importantly, can he convince her she belongs by his side?

Khargals of Duras

A thousand years ago, a Khargal scouting party left Duras, only to crash on a planet called Earth.

Injured and outnumbered, the stranded Khargals hid among stone effigies and observed the slow evolution of the planet’s primitive inhabitants. With no means of returning to Duras, they watched from their shadowy perches and faded into legend, becoming the mythical gargoyles.

Until today. Long after any hope for rescue had died, the distress signal has finally been answered.

It's time to go home.
