Claimed by the Chasm

A geologist of rare determination, Dr. Aris Thorne trusts only science. But when a daring solo expedition into the uncharted Blackspire Mountains ends in a cataclysmic fall, she awakens in a world that defies all logic. She is no longer a scientist; she is a prisoner. Her captor is Kael, a creature of nightmare and legend, a gargoyle of stone and sinew rumored to guard the mountain's heart. He is a monster, a savage, yet his touch ignites a forbidden and primal desire that shatters her scientific calm.
Aris is caught in a web of erotic obsession, her body betraying her mind with every tantalizing and unconditional surrender. Kael is bound by an ancient, agonizing curse, and he believes Aris is the key to his salvation-his fated mate, a prize he will never let go. Trapped between the life she knew and a tormented love that feels more real than anything before it, Aris must make an impossible choice.
As her team launches a desperate rescue mission from the world above, she is forced to confront the ultimate question: when the line between monster and mate blurs, can she embrace a wanton new reality, or will the secrets of the abyss destroy them both?
