The village spinster. The monster who guards the gate. One night that changes everything.
Daughter of a fisherman, Maggie's true love has always been the sea. Maybe that's why she never married. But when her father grows too sick to captain his ship, she shoulders the weight of her family's survival, even if it means accepting a marriage proposal from a greedy sailor who wants their fishing boat more than her.

It's not the life she dreamed of, but dreams don't put food on the table.

Evrard has guarded Brinehelm for years, watching over the village gate. Now, war calls him away to fight the encroaching goblin horde. Though he doesn't question his duty, he will miss the brave human woman who meets his gaze without fear.
When Maggie learns he's leaving, she offers him a goodbye to remember: One reckless night. No promises. No regrets.
They both know it can't last beyond the morning.

But with Evrard gone, Maggie must face a future she doesn't want -- and a man determined to take everything from her. And when Evrard reaches his new post, he realizes leaving her unprotected might be his greatest mistake.

She's done sacrificing herself for others. He's done following orders. And this time, nothing will keep them apart.

The Gargoyle & the Spinster is a short, steamy prequel to the Nightfall Guardians series filled with forbidden love, a protective gargoyle, and the human woman who earns his ultimate devotion.
