The Vampire and the Grumpy Gargoyle (Love in Wyrdwood)A Cozy Paranormal Monster Romance

Love in Wyrdwood #2

Turns out the only thing harder than parenting? Catching feelings for a literal rock.

Between night shifts at the hospital and wrangling my half-vampire, half-witch tween twin boys, I’ve got exactly zero time for romance—especially the brooding kind with wings, stone shoulders, and a voice that could melt granite.

But when a building blackout introduces me to Dominic, the mysteriously hot gargoyle super of our paranormal apartment complex, things start getting… complicated.

He’s gruff. I’m tired. The tension is ridiculous.
And Wyrdwood? Wyrdwood’s never been known for keeping things less than chaotic—or keeping things casual.

I just wanted to survive the week.
Now I’m dodging magical mishaps, unexpected sparks, and the kind of chemistry that could wake the undead.

In the supernatural small town of Wyrdwood, midlife comes with moody teens, magical mayhem, and a second chance at love—with paranormal men who are anything but ordinary. From grumpy werewolf coaches to broody gargoyles and cinnamon roll orcs with tool belts, the local monsters are just as messy, magical, and swoon-worthy as the single moms who fall for them. The Love in Wyrdwood series is a collection of cozy, standalone paranormal monster rom-coms full of flirty banter, monster-sized heart, and midlife magic—proving that happily ever after might just come with claws, fur, or fangs. Spice Level 1 (Kissing, Flirty Banter with Minor Innuendo).

Also known as The Witch and the Werewolf Gym Teacher (Love in Wyrdwood) Book 2.
