The Gargoyle Dilemma
(2022)(The sixth book in the Enchanted Rock Immortals series)
A Novella by Amanda Reid
Priority one for overworked, Human Paranormal crime analyst Cheryl Velazco? Time with her aging, ill grandmother in snowy northern New Mexico. Not anywhere on her list? A chance encounter with a solid, sexy gargoyle.
But this is no mere minor fae. Cher’s instincts say he’s Ethan Porter, a lead to a fugitive North American Council Security has been hunting. If only her womanly bits wouldn’t scream ‘yes’ every time she sees the hot hunk of gargoyle. Doesn’t matter. She could never fraternize with a potential suspect, no matter how tempted.
Ethan Porter curses himself every day for promising his father he’d protect his impulsive, trouble-making half-sister who betrayed the North American Council and over 20 crime syndicates. Unfortunately, a gargoyle’s word is his bond.
Before he can convince his spoiled sister to turn herself in, a smart, sexy human paranormal recognizes him and threatens what he believed a quiet place far from their often violent world. Nowhere on his to-do list should be fantasizing about a gorgeous, genius woman he can never possess.
A blizzard, an assassin army, and the North American Council’s Security forces seem to be stacked against them. Will Cher and Ethan continue to separately battle the powers opposing them, or can they fight their way to each other and find a path to love?
***
Demons and Vampires. Elves and Fairies. Mages and Witches. Werewolves and Dragons. Psychics and Telekinetics.
These magical beings and more exist, rubbing shoulders in their daily lives with unsuspecting humans. But a supernatural society doesn’t happen without order. Millennia ago, the Clans—Sanguis, Fae, Magic, Shifter, and Human Paranormal—wisely formed a Council to maintain that order. The end? To ensure the worlds of human and paranormal beings didn’t collide and break out into a war that would result in the extermination or subjugation of either.
As human civilization progressed, the first council formed the All Clan Charter at the natural vortex in Great Zimbabwe, giving each clan a voice in the administration of affairs both between the clans and with humans. Next, Asia formed its council at Chengtu Vortex. Then European at Warel Chakra Vortex. North America came next at the natural vortex humans called Enchanted Rock, in what today is known as Texas.
Now, thriving communities of paranormal beings exist in and around the granite outcropping. Humans scrabble over the dome, not suspecting an entire city exists within its confines: the North American Council and all its departments—Legislative, Administrative, Security, Medical, Vortex Transportation, and Legal, plus restaurants, clan hotels, and shops catering to the paranormal crowds.
Also under that dome? Intrigue, politics, and most importantly, love.
These are the stories of The Enchanted Rock Immortals.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
