title: Gargoyle's Challenge
author: Foxx, Nia
description: Ebony Beauties Wanted To Marry Rich Bachelors. Age: Unimportant. Must be willing to relocate. Criterion: Winged Shaped Birthmark. Tattoos are not acceptable!!! Aman Jacobs almost fell out of her chair after reading the personal ad on the cover of her morning paper. It had to be a joke. What kind of gold diggers would respond? Better still what type of desperate old man would place the ad in the first place? To each his own! She just knew she and her little winged birthmark were going to stay clear. Theirs was a chance meeting and Sergei Romanov considered himself a lucky gargoyle to have found his mate so quickly while others of his species faced an uncertain future. He longs for the day when his little hell-cat will accept their union instead of tormenting him at every turn. Just when it seems the couple has reached an insurmountable impasse a snap decision threatens to tear the pair apart permanently and push Sergei to the point of no return.
