The Gargoyle's Captive
by Katee Robert
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
You get a cathartic blend of angst and steam as a fierce heroine finds unexpected connection in a morally gray underworld.
Synopsis
Grace is a monster hunter who went into her demon deal with eyes wide open. Years ago, her mother made the same choice and was never seen again, and the answers Grace seeks can only be found in the demon realm. She doesn’t care that she’s auctioned off to a gargoyle. She doesn’t plan to stay with him longer than strictly necessary. Unfortunately, she didn’t read the small print of her contract. Every time she tries to escape, she’s transported back into Bram’s tender care. He never hurts her, never punishes her, just meets her fury with an easy charm she doesn’t know how to fight. She doesn’t mean to give in, to stop fighting. But the moment she does, she starts to forget what brought her to this place and what her goals are. After a life starved of pleasure, she’s all willing to let Bram seduce her again and again… At least until the past comes calling.
