  Would you dance for a statue? What if he woke and claimed you? 
   
   
   
  I've got big dreams of a career on the stage. Unfortunately dreams don't pay the bills. Working as an exotic dancer for a mysterious monster client sure beats being groped by some of the sleazy humans I've danced for. 
   
   
   
  Performing alone on a rooftop for a statue sounds strange, sure. Then the statue comes alive and turns into a huge, sweet protective gargoyle. My dance frees William from his rocky prison, but he tells me if I don’t stop, he'll have no choice but to claim me forever. Beneath the rough, stony exterior, my powerful gargoyle mate has a tender heart. But he's holding back. 
   
   
   
  How can I convince him he's worthy? Will he still love me when he realizes how much trouble I am? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  She asked for an angel. Hell sent her something better. 
  Gemma Holloway is a ceramicist running on fumes, back rent, and the stubborn refusal to admit her dream is dying. When her kiln fails and eviction becomes a countdown, she does something desperate — she begs the universe for help. 
  What steps through the tear in her studio wall is not a guardian angel. 
  Azrael is ancient, terrifying, and inexplicably determined to reorganize her entire life. He bullies her landlord into an extension. He secures a gallery meeting she'd never have landed alone. He critiques her glazes, makes perfect coffee, and looks at threats to her safety like he would burn the world down to eliminate them. 
  He is also not what he claims to be. 
  A fallen angel with six centuries of blood on his hands. A woman who throws pottery at his head and refuses to run. 
  When the hierarchy that owns Azrael comes to collect, he surrenders himself to save her. The deal is simple: his freedom for her safety. 
  But Gemma Holloway did not survive three months of back rent and a dead kiln to lose the only being who ever looked at her like she was worth fighting for. 
  She walks into hell. 
  Not with power. Not with a plan. With a half-researched ritual, a best friend who refuses to let her be an idiot alone, and the stubborn, impossible grace of a woman who has decided she is not leaving without what's hers. 
  There was never any safety. There were never any guarantees. She's choosing him anyway. 
  Sweet as Sin is a standalone paranormal romance featuring a grumpy fallen angel who doesn't do feelings, a sunshine ceramicist who won't stop making him have them, a bond that can only break by choice, and a happily ever after earned in hellfire. 
  Perfect for readers who love: Nalini Singh's angel mythology, Jennifer L. Armentrout's dark intensity, and heroines who storm impossible places for love. 
  Content note: explicit sexual content, supernatural violence, and a hero who will reorganize your entire life without asking.
