Unintended Guardian

**Cursed to darkness, he makes a wish for freedom. She shows up instead…**

*A shapeshifting gryphon cursed to eternal darkness…*

Sunlight shouldn't be deadly to Griff Cyrus. Determined to break his curse, he follows an oracle's bizarre instructions to have a magical package shipped to his apartment. Since when do brown trucks deliver mystical cures?

*A lonely woman craving the spice of life…*

Kala Kaneko's social life couldn’t be more bland. When a strange parcel arrives at her door by mistake, she seizes the excuse to introduce herself to the intended recipient, her mysterious neighbor.

*Fate has a twisted sense of humor…*

Griff expects the package to free him from the curse, but opening the box unleashes a mythical creature bent on Kala's death. Yet if Griff follows his instincts to protect her, he could sacrifice his last chance at freedom.

**Welcome to the Mythos Legacy!**

*Unintended Guardian* is the short story introduction to the Mythos Legacy series, where real myths find real love. The first chapter of *Treasured Claim*, the first full-length novel in the series, is included at the back of this book!

Each standalone story in the series can be read in any order (and ends happily!). I hope you enjoy these contemporary fantasy/paranormal romances, where mythological beings like shapeshifting gryphons find their perfect match (who are more than up to the job) among humans.
