When the Weaver Met the Gargoyle: Leafshire Cove Monsters, Book 1
A shire-esque party forces a straight-laced human weaver and a brooding gargoyle guard together in the most delightfully tension-filled ways.
I have one talent, and it's not relationships. It's weaving. But I have one chance to keep my cozy little life in the magical Leafshire Cove, and it's going to require a partner.
I swore off romance—my last relationship was a humiliating disaster. But to enter the mayor's tapestry contest and win the contract attached, I need a date, thanks to a ridiculous ancient faerie spell requiring attendants to bring a potential partner.
When my frenemy suggests the new watchtower guard, a growly gargoyle named Romulus who never speaks and hides inside a massive cloak, I think she's finally lost her mind. But said frenemy refuses to back down, and suddenly, the gargoyle and I are forced into a temporary match.
Romulus is employed by the mayor, so he has no choice but to go. Because of a past issue with his stone magic, he's dead set on remaining single, so there shouldn't be a problem.
Until we share the wrong pot of tea…
Magic and cozy mayhem combine in this spicy standalone fantasy romance. All the books in the Leafshire Cove series are short and sweet, with a happily ever after for their human/monster couples.
