Stone Shadow is a funny, high-heat paranormal monster romance where a failed girls’-night cemetery summoning leaves the quiet younger sister with a six-foot gargoyle protector hiding in her studio walls. Between a women-only share-house lease, a six-year-old niece who calls the guardians Mr Monster, and a burglar who steals her studio condom stash right before her first time, this book blends found-family comedy with explicit behind-closed-doors spice. Available in e-book and paperback on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and Google Play.

Fans of reachable wide monster and paranormal rom-com authors Juliette Cross in Wolf Gone Wild, Sarah Hawley in A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon, Lillian Lark in Deceived by the Gargoyles, Lynsay Sands in The Rogue Hunter, and Robyn Peterman in It’s a Wonderful Midlife Crisis will devour this, alongside aspirational icons Kresley Cole in A Hunger Like No Other and Gena Showalter in The Darkest Night.

As Book 4 in the five-book complete Heart of Steel series, it packs in unforgettable microtropes: driving drunk cousins home while they belt out the Rolling Stones, dressing a horned protector in leftover charity-calendar track pants, a predawn solo vibrator scene thinking about her guardian, and a rogue brother-in-law inhaling a dozen meat pies. It carries the chaotic supernatural roommate energy of What We Do in the Shadows and Charmed.

For readers who love: spicy monster romance, gargoyle boyfriend, virgin heroine, size difference, creative anatomy, sisters and cousins found family, paranormal rom-com, and protective bodyguard. Perfect for fans of: What We Do in the Shadows, Charmed, Practical Magic, and The Sims.
