Think you know about gargoyles? The beautiful winged race disappeared eight hundred years ago. When they last walked the earth, they traveled in close-knit packs, their throats marked with ancient runes. Their greatest enemies were the ugly and brutal harpies that people today mistake for gargoyles.

After escaping his unwanted past as a notorious young womanizer in thirteenth century England, Victor has set his sights on modern-day Samantha Evans. But Sam's been burned before by guys with extreme good looks. And she's determined to steer clear of the mouthwatering gargoyle. But Victor is used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Samantha. Only Sam's willpower—and a meddlesome bit of magic—stand in his way.
