Heart of Stone

A SECRET WORLD REVEALED Defense lawyer Margrit Knight chafes against ordinary social expectations, whether that's finding the right guy and settling down, or representing those the world has given up on. She's searching for something more- -and she finds what she's looking for when Alban Korund, wanted for murder, reveals himself as a living, breathing gargoyle. Compelling and enigmatic, Alban 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...
