Heiress Loretta Shaw is notorious for her loose morals and sexual needs. Trouble is, itโs taken her one too many one- night stands to realize that no man can extinguish the sexual fire she feels toward her guardian, Cray Diamond.A long-ago curse made Cray immortalโa gargoyle, a guardian, who is impelled to protect a human chosen by the curse. He is imprisoned in stone during daylight hours but dusk returns him to flesh and bone to carry out his immortal duty.That Cray can shift between human and living gargoyle at night bothers Loretta not one bit. Sheโs seen him naked many times and her desire for himโin any shape or formโ knows no bounds. Sheโs tired of his resistance. Heโs her gargoyleโฆand she wants him in her bed.
