Blood from a Stone

Samson Bellmaine enjoyed a carefree and selfish life as the son of a wealthy land baron in the year 1511. Handsome, rich and of title he knew no bounds when it came to getting what he wanted from women. Nor did he care the consequences of his actions or the trail of broken hearts he'd left in his wake. After a callous dalliance with the daughter of a high priestess of the ancient Tuatha de D'annan, Samson soon finds himself cursed, to sit out his existence as a stone gargoyle, Awakening once every fifty years for one month's time. And after five centuries of searching for a way to break the unbreakable curse to no avail, he's grown content to make use of his short time as a man drowning himself in booze, women and hedonistic pleasures.And then...he meets Willow Dalton, a smart, pretty nurse who works in the children's ward at a local hospital. As love warms his heart and he discovers a mysterious side-effect of his circumstance, he is now in a race against time, determined to stay at Willow's side and daring to hope that he might finally be freed of his stone prison once and for all.
