Angielski
He's been watching from the roof for eight centuries. She's about to give him something worth waking up for.
Architect Amelia Harris doesn't believe in curses. She believes in load-bearing walls, proper mortar ratios, and proving her father wrong. When she's hired to restore the crumbling gothic mansion Blackwood Manor, she expects drafts, dust, and the occasional collapsed beam. She does not expect to wake a 847-year-old gargoyle named Gideon-a sarcastic, silver-eyed menace who immediately insults her boots and informs her that she's now magically bound to him.
The curse is simple: seven nights of "mutual surrender" or Gideon stays stone forever. The catch? He can't leave her side. Literally. Stone cuffs appear when she tries to run. And the only way to break them involves a lot less clothing and a lot more dirty talk than any preservation grant ever prepared her for.
Gideon is granite-hard, devastatingly charming, and has the emotional vulnerability of a man who's been alone for eight centuries. Amelia is stubborn, repressed, and secretly desperate to be seen. As the nights heat up-from rooftop encounters to blindfolded sensory play to a wing job that defies physics-they realize the curse isn't the only thing breaking. Their walls are crumbling too.
But the curse fights back. Gideon starts to crumble. And the seventh night demands a surrender neither of them knows how to give.
Rock Hard is a full-length kinky romcom monster romance with a guaranteed HEA, a gargoyle who purrs "darling" like a threat, and an architect who finally learns that some blueprints are meant to be torn up.
Because consent is sexy. And so is a 6'6" stone guardian who worships you with his wings.
