I’m running out of time. In six months, on my 1,000th birthday, I will permanently turn to stone. Unless I find my fated mate. As Gargoyle King of New York City, the last place I expected to find true love was on a dating app. But when one mysteriously shows up on my phone, I decide I have nothing to lose. I sign up and immediately have a match. And she’s human.

It's been nearly two decades since I lost the love of my life and I'm still struggling to move on. My grief plays on a perpetual cycle, and every time I think I’m ready to move forward—bam—something new throws me back into the depths of it. The latest hit comes in the form of a movie being made about the inspiring life my fiancé lived. Things go from bad to worse when the actor cast to play him waltzes into my bar, begging me to help him with the role. “Help me become Tyler Taylor.”

My life has been a whirlwind of heartbreak, beginning with the death of my brother when I was 18-years-old. He was my best friend. I worked through my grief by writing a book about his life and that book was turned into a movie.
