A gargoyle's heart isn't made of stone.
Matt's forty, possibly too late to change his life around, but his age isn't going to stop him. He has a chance at a new life for himself and his daughter with the Rosewood pack and intends to make the most out of it. Apparently, that includes playing bodyguard during a mission to save a new friend's brother.
Tyler has been in a cage for years and doubts he'll ever get out of it permanently. When he's bought during the auction, he's not surprised. What does surprise him is when his mate, of all people, is the one who gets him out of that cage and out of the infernal hell his life has been for over a decade.
Tyler is finally free, but he doesn't know what to do with his life beyond being with his mate. Matt offers him everything he's ever wanted, but it comes with a complication-Matt's ex-wife, who is also the woman who's kept Tyler prisoner.
Pamela is dangerous, but so is Tyler, and he's not afraid to use his strength and his gargoyle form to defend his new family.
