Born of Stone - Gargoyle Masters, #1

Strong beats a heart encased in stone. Created from the Wizard's Stone, the Gargoyle Masters can turn from human to stone warriors in the blink of an eye, but they are lovers as well as fighters. Orestes tries to stay away from humans. He doesn't appreciate the hero worship or overzealous women. But one night of spying the new kitchen help has him rethinking his desire to not speak to human women.
Astrid wants to keep her head down and do her job in the hopes of being fed rather than beat. Her life is turned upside down once Master Orestes realizes how she's been treated. But trusting him to care for her will take every ounce of her ability to forgive and forget. Master Nel has been captured, when gargoyles are used to being the ultimate strength in the realm. It will take the help of an unlikely heroine to free him and learn who is behind this betrayal.
Phaidra is used to being ignored. The unrelenting attention of a Gargoyle Master is almost more than she can bear. Turning a blind eye to his captivity is not an option, especially when the one betraying him should be one of his strongest supporters.
