description: Brenda thought her Aunt’s Bed and Breakfast a house of horrors
  As an eight-year-old child Brenda was bitten by a monster chained in the basement. Now 17 years later she returns to face her fears.
  
  He looks like a monster
  With claws at his hands and feet, broad wings, horns and a massive snout, Milton terrifies Brenda. Centuries ago, before the Earth was even formed, Milton committed the worst sin imaginable and as payment for this sin, he is forced to look like an evil gargoyle.
  
  Now she needs his help
  Milton offers to help Brenda’s infant nephew, but only if Brenda agrees to marry him. While she agonizes over her decision, Brenda learns that he is not evil as he appears. But she also realizes if she marries him, she will not be first in his life. He must complete his quest, even if it means sacrificing her.
  
  How can her growing love survive under those conditions?
