The Bachelor Thief

Attain Walsh knew something was odd at Nicholas Lindson's ranch. Ever since his best friend married Sandra, things have turned...strange. Wanting to get to the bottom of things, Attain begins to show up unexpectedly. He's shocked to stumble across Nicholas making out with someone other than his wife. The idea that his buddy was a cheat had never crossed his mind. Unable to help himself, Attain confronts Nicholas...and learns that the marriage is a sham. Both Nicholas and Sandra have separate partners. Not only that, but his friend's partner-Bodb-isn't human. He's a gargoyle. When Attain meets more of them, he's shocked to find himself attracted to one of the huge beasts-a dark-blue gargoyle named Ssimeas. Then he learns about mates-someone the gargoyle considers the other half of their soul-and Ssimeas claims that Attain is his. But Attain is a confirmed bachelor. He has no desire to be anyone's soul mate. Can Attain convince the gargoyle to leave him alone? Or will the male's flattering pursuit sway him into turning his life upside down?
