About this audiobook

For three hundred years, he kept the vow. Now Marlowe has come home to sell him. Stone conservator Elise Marlowe has one job: assess Saint Aldric's Abbey on the Maine coast before the bulldozers arrive, and remove anything valuable enough to sell. That includes the enormous gargoyle crouched on the chapel roof. A collector has offered half a million dollars for it. Then, on her second night, the gargoyle moves. His name is Corvin. Elise's ancestor carved him from the cliff in 1724 and bound him with a vow: guard the ancient hunger sealed beneath the chapel until a Marlowe sets him free. Every dawn he turns to stone. Every night he wakes, alone. And for two hundred and thirty-five years, he has hated the Marlowe family for walking away and leaving him there. Now the last Marlowe is standing in his chapel with a chisel in her hand. But the construction crew has cracked the Seal. Something is waking in the dark. A workman nearly dies in the crypt. Elise's trusted mentor is asking far too many questions about the gargoyle. And a hidden journal reveals the true price of Corvin's freedom, a price no Marlowe has ever been willing to pay. As the autumn equinox approaches, Elise must decide what she believes, who she can trust, and what she is willing to give for a guardian who was never allowed to want anything for himself. Inside you'll find: Enemies to lovers between a skeptical scientist and a bitter stone guardian A protective, winged monster hero who has never been loved A smart, stubborn heroine who fights back A gothic abbey on a cliff, a sealed darkness, and a mentor's betrayal Slow burn longing with kisses worth waiting for A clean, closed-door romance with no explicit scenes A standalone story with a satisfying happily ever after If you love monster romance full of danger, devotion, and swoon, without the spice, climb the cliff to Saint Aldric's tonight.
