Heart of Stone

by C.E. Murphy

A SECRET WORLD REVEALED

Defense lawyer Margrit Knight works on the side of order and justice, but chafes against society’s expectations: she finds peace in jogging Central Park late at night, where she can avoid thinking about the off-again romance with her over-protective ex. She’s searching for something more—

—and she knows she’s found what she’s looking for when a man wanted for murder turns out to be a gargoyle.

Compelling, enigmatic Alban Korund belongs to the hidden society of Old Races who have lived alongside the human race since time began...and he's breaking one of the most sacred rules of their society by approaching Margrit. The danger he represents is as intriguing as the handsome, shape-shifting gargoyle himself is, and although entering his world will change her life forever, Margrit is all in.

But to clear Alban’s name, they have to prove his alibi—and Margrit’s ex, a cop, makes that nearly impossible. Together, they must thread the needle between saving Alban and keeping the Old Races’ secrets...or Margrit, who is only human, may pay the price...
