Some mates come with very special packages. As the oldest son of irresponsible, selfish parents, Craig doesn't remember the last time he shifted into his turtle form and took a nice relaxing swim. He's far too busy working two jobs and taking care of his six younger siblings. When Craig's mate comes crashing into the diner kitchen, where he's a cook, his life gets even more complicated. As the oldest vampire in existence, Zadimus has spent a lot of his years alone and liked it. Zadimus never thought his introverted nature would ever be a problem until he meets his mate’s family.
