Isn't it every woman's dream for a sexy hunky stone statue to suddenly come to life? That's just what happened to Katie James. Poor Katie has severe first date syndrome and when she is attracted to the stone statue in the garden of the Victorian house she's bought to Read more...

Katie James is unlucky in love — so unlucky she's been reduced to kissing the marble statue in her own garden. But her luck changes when the statue warms to life in her arms — and turns out to be a hunk straight out of any woman's fantasy! Well, almost...Jorlan en Sarr hails from a distant planet and like all the other men Katie's known, he comes with a lot of baggage.

Entombed in his stony skin for centuries, Jorlan has been waiting for a maiden fair to break the spell. Yet this statuesque beauty with the will of an Amazon and kisses like flame is a far cry from the obedient damsels of Imperia. And though Jorlan is tempted to abandon all for the sake of Katie, unless he can convince her to give him her heart in two weeks' time, he'll be turned back to stone. And she'll be lost to him forever.

Summary

Jorlan en Sarr, a mighty alien prince, is cursed by his half-brother to spend eternity as a marble statue, able to see, hear and feel everything around him, yet be unable to respond. His one chance for freedom is a spell that catapults him to Earth, where he spends one thousand years awaiting a woman's kiss.

When beautiful and bold home renovator Katie James buys an old Victorian mansion, she never dreams the magnificent, naked statue in her garden is actually a flesh and blood man. But the moment she places an impulsive kiss upon the statue's lips, cool stone quickly becomes warm bronzed skin. Before long, she is swept up in tumultuous passion that will either save this man she has come to love, or destroy him.
