Bound in Stone
Florist. Witch. Thirty, flirty, and out for blood.
Astra Flores has a lot on her plate. The last thing she needs is a behemoth of a protector who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space. But that’s exactly what she gets when the men who killed her mother come after her—and the statue she’s spent her life spilling secrets to suddenly starts walking, talking, and standing between her and danger.
Guardian. Gargoyle. Astra’s fated mate.
Halston failed to protect Astra’s mother, and the guilt still haunts him. Now, as Astra hunts down her mother’s killers, he’s determined to keep her alive—even if that means standing in her way. Protective, stubborn, and endlessly devoted, Halston will risk everything to shield the woman he knows is meant to be his, no matter the cost.
But can he convince Astra that some battles are better fought together?

Bound in Stone is for the girlies that watched Gargoyles as a kid and thought that Goliath and his detective should have gotten together. Now, as an adult, I can fully appreciate it happening in novel form. It scratches that itch with a magical setting with a witch who has to fight for survival, but thankfully she's not alone.
A spicy exploration of what protection and stony silence can mean, this is just a fun little palate cleanser between more serious reads.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS STORY! The prologue had my attention so quick. I loved gargoyles the 90s cartoon as a child so I have a soft spot for gargoyles. I love witches and FMCs in their 30s, so this was a great read hitting all those points.
