Four years ago, dragon shifter Sofia had an affair with a gargoyle. The next morning, he disappeared—and abandoned an infant on her doorstep.
Now he’s back, and Sofia is afraid he wants to claim the child she’s been raising as her own.
Griffin isn’t back because he wants the child. What Sofia doesn’t know is that the kid isn’t even his. He’s back because his boss told him to protect her and the baby. A task he doesn’t think he’s capable of doing.
Unfortunately, the more time he spends with Sofia and her adopted daughter Penelope, the less he wants to leave.
And the more danger he’s putting them in.[image error]
Excerpt:
At the end of the block, he turned the corner, then clamped his teeth onto the straps of his duffle and summoned the magic. He directed his body not to turn to stone but to the leathery, winged creature that would allow him to fly across the lawns until he dropped with an almost soundless thud into her backyard.
Quiet as a cat, he stalked around the outside of the house until he figured out which window belonged to the sleeping child, and then he shifted into his stone form and stood watch, as gargoyles had for century upon century.
Good thing gargoyles needed little sleep, because the babe did indeed wake at 6:00 a.m.
As soon as he heard the first snuffle and yawn, the soft sound of blankets being kicked away, he shifted into human form, snagged his bag, and used his magic to unlock the kitchen door and slip inside.
He waylaid the child as she was about to head into Sofia’s bedroom. She looked up at him, unblinking blue eyes gone wide. Her red hair was tousled, her nightgown wrinkled, and she clutched a stuffed purple dragon in her arm.
Cute.
He lifted a finger to his lips and then motioned for her to walk down the hallway, away from the bedrooms.
She shook her head.
“We don’t want to wake your, er…” What did she call Sofia? He had no idea.
“You aren’t supposed to be in my house,” the little girl said.
“Do you know who I am?” Was that even possible? She’d been three months old when he left her here.
She shook her head again. “That’s why you aren’t supposed to be here.”
“It’s okay. I’m your, er, Sofia’s friend.”
“Sofia is my mommy.”
Okay, one question answered. “And I’m your mommy’s friend.”
She shook her head yet again. “Mommy doesn’t have friends.”
