Protecting Prince (Dragon's Mate #3)
Hope Bennett

Sometimes it seems that everything Prince touches breaks. Even when he wants more than anything to look suave and sexy, just for once, he can’t even stay on his own two feet. Desperate to impress his mate somehow, Prince sets out to find something he’s good at. Something, that is, except breaking things. With his family rolling their eyes at him, his mate oblivious to his presence and his self-esteem falling by the minute, Prince begins to get desperate.
Darren is a workaholic old gargoyle. What could he possibly offer someone as young and vibrant as Prince?
When Darren arrives at the castle to do some security updates for the family, he intends to do his job, keep himself to himself, and go home. But that isn’t what fate has planned for him. No, fate has given him Prince. The clumsiest, sweetest, most generous man he’s ever met. He has to squash these new feelings, he has to control himself, he has to focus on work… and he has to protect Prince, even if it’s from his own overbearing family. That’s what gargoyles are good at, after all.
A slow-burn, age-gap m/m romance between a dragon shifter and a gargoyle.
The third book in the DRAGON’S MATE series, Protecting Prince can be read as a standalone. It does feature some crossover characters, though, so why not enjoy the whole series?
This book is everything I love about fantasy, romance, shifters, fated mates and found families. Featuring a young dragon shifter, a sexy older man, a large family, over-protective cousins, several accidents, some serious gargoyle research, lots of feels and an HEA.
Warning: contains explicit language and scenes.
