Guarding Gus Book 1 | Digital Download

Description

Who knew that a simple trip to the hardware store could change your fate forever…

Nico is relishing his quiet mornings as a bonsai bodyguard and adjusting to life as a transman. Brant is recovering from his past in the military and dreams of opening a bakery truck. During a chance encounter amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, this mismatched duo strike an instant friendship when they discover an abandoned baby gargoyle, Gustopher, setting them off on a thrilling 3-day adventure to rescue the little creature and reunite it with its rightful owner.

As they set out on their mission, they encounter predicaments unusual to temporary foster parents. Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market. To ensure Gus’s safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge. Fortunately, their journey leads them to encounter Remi, an eccentric vampire who guards the secret cheese caves of Wisconsin, and Jasper, a seasoned traveler, who accompanies the renowned Manley Cup, the cherished trophy of a championship hockey team.

Together, this peculiar quartet must work together to navigate both gargoyle-raising and crime-boss hunting. As they traverse the mountains of Multnomah, a tough decision lies before them, forging unbreakable bonds and solidifying their motley chosen family. In the midst of it all, Gustopher surprises them with delightful…qualities, adding an extra dose of astonishment everywhere they go.
