A match between a vampire and shifter could be deadly-but this broken beaver doesn't give a dam. Silent film actor Casimir Moreau had imagined that life as a vampire would be freewheeling and glamorous. Instead, he's plunged into a restrictive society whose rules he runs afoul of at every turn. To "rehabilitate" him, the vampire council orders him mated to an incubus with impeccable breeding who'll mold Cas into the upstanding vampire he ought to be. Or else. As an inactive beaver shifter, construction engineer Rusty Johnson has fought-and overcome-bias and disrespect his entire life. But when his longtime boyfriend leaves him for political reasons, Rusty is ready to call it a day. Next stop? Supernatural Selection and his guaranteed perfect mate, a bear shifter living far away from Rusty's disapproving clan. But then a spell snafu at Supernatural Selection robs both men of their intended husbands. Rusty can't face returning to his clan, and Cas needs somebody on his arm to keep the council happy, so they agree to pretend to be married. Nobody needs to know their relationship is fake-especially since it's starting to feel suspiciously like the real thing.
