The second book in New York Times bestselling author Christine Warren's breathtaking Gargoyle series. Sometimes the beast will only awake if he has an innocent woman to protect...Art restorer Felicity "Fil" Shaltis can read the magic in auras, but her fascination with a valuable statue she's asked to locate is magical in an entirely different way. Drawn to the stone beast in a way that mystifies even her, it's all Fil can do to keep from being enraptured by the creature's stone form. At least, until the fierce gargoyle statue comes to life as a powerful, and powerfully hot, immortal warrior ... Spar had no intention of waking unless one of the seven demons of the Dark pushed him to leave his isolation. But when a stunning, innocent woman finds herself marked by the demon, Spar is instantly drawn to her, will do anything to save her. With a looming threat to humanity on the rise, Spar has no time to fall for the woman who's pure beauty commands his soul. But even the most fearsome beast of all doesn't get to choose who steals his heart... "Soars with fun, witty characters and nonstop action." ?Publishers Weekly on Stone Cold LoverDon't miss the other books in the Gargoyle series: Book #1: Heart of Stone Book #3: Hard as a Rock Book #4: Rocked by LoveBook #5: Hard to Handle
