In the ruins of a country destroyed by a curse. Princess Leesa goes looking for a way to help her people. Desperate to find an item of value to trade for supplies, she trespasses into an abandoned palace.
There, she finds more than she bargained for when she encounters a lonely Gargoyle who offers to provide her with everything she needs, for a price.
If she's willing to pay it, she may find the love she's been looking for. Or she may lose it, forever.
"Beauty & the Faun"
Kayla, a poor young woman runs away when her rich uncle and aunt arrange her marriage to a shifter prince from another land. Her uncle needs gold to settle his debts and the king is offering a great reward if he can obtain a willing bride for his son.

Del
set the lantern down on a chest across from the bed. He got a candle and lit it
from the lantern light. "You must be tired. Maybe you should get some
rest."
The
bed did look comfortable, with its green and yellow patchwork quilt and the
fluffy pillows. Up here the walls were painted a soothing blue, and the two
windows had curtains that fluttered in the breeze. Other than the bed and the
table, there was a rocking chair and gold trimmed mirror on the wall opposite
the windows.
"Where
will you sleep?" she asked.
"There's
only one bed, my lady. Where do you think?"
"With
me? In the bed?" Kayla gasped. She'd never shared a bed before, especially
not with a man.
"You
don't trust me? I brought you here to protect you and I don't even know your
name or where you're from." Del perched his hands on his hips. "Or
maybe I should turn you back over to those satyrs who chased you."
"No,
don't." Better not antagonize him. She'd had enough drama for one night.
"I'm sorry, Del. My name is Kayla. I'm from the mansion about three miles
from here. Sir Frederick and Lady Diane of Ashley Manor."
"Don't
know them," Del said. "I try to stay away from those types. Why were
you on the road at this time of night?"
"I
wanted to go to town to the inn. I was looking for work. I might have to leave
my employment."
"At
night?"
This
was getting ridiculous. He was skeptical, and rightfully so. Kayla sighed and
sat on the edge of the bed. "I'm not being truthful, Del. I was running
away because my uncle wants to marry me off to someone I've never met."
"Oh."
His expression softened, and he dropped his arms to his sides. "So, your
uncle is Sir Frederick, right?"
"Right,"
she said.
"Don't
aristocrats arrange marriages all the time?"
"I
suppose so. But I'm not an aristocrat. I'm the poor relation. Me and my
mother."
He
smiled as he covered her with the blanket. "You should know that I
normally don't find beautiful young maidens in the forest after midnight
either. Especially naked ones," he said. "You are a maiden, aren't
you?"
It
took a few seconds for her to catch his meaning, and when she did, heat spread
across her face. Kayla pulled the blanket up so that it rested just below her
chin. "Yes, I am."
A
smiled spread across his full lips, completely disarming her. "Ah, then. I
was right. It will be a very lucky gentleman who tastes you for the first
time."
Now
the heat was cutting a path downward, waking up a feeling in her center that
she'd never experienced before. Was this some enchantment?
Del
leaned closer and kissed her cheek. "You have a fire, my lady. Whoever
wins your heart and ignites your passion will be at your mercy."
