title: Hardened Desire
author: Pimentel, Layna
description: What could Luc Mercier, a gargoyle that's more than a century old, possibly have in common with modern introvert, and self-professed workaholic Gillian Harris? Loneliness and isolation.
  When meddlesome friends bring the two together, neither is prepared for the flurry of emotions nor revelations that overwhelm them. That is, until Gillian stumbles across the truth and struggles with how she let her guard down.
  Learning to love again, and then letting go, has never been harder.
