Handsome Jake Savage is a young corporate climber in a world where shifters coexist with humans. He wants nothing more than the promotion he has worked his ass off for. But when he is usurped by an office drone, he is left jobless and desperate. Along comes his dream job . . . with one caveat. His new boss-to-be is rumored to favor ‘married’ employees. As luck would have it, his two closest rivals wear those all-important wedding rings on their fourth fingers. “But I have too have a wife! Here she is!” Jake declares, grabbing the only picture of a woman he has on his iPhone: Terry, his hot neighbor, caught in an embarrassing photo position. So now he has to hatch an elaborate scheme to get Terry to pretend to be his wife. The only trouble is Terry really, REALLY hates his guts. Terry Contralto has just been dumped by her boyfriend, who stole most of her cash. She’s desperate not to be evicted, and even though she’s wary of her handsome werewolf neighbor with his strange ‘if you agree to be my wife for the weekend, I will give you cash’ proposition, she accepts. Now they have to survive the weekend retreat organized by Jake’s potential new boss, where he will pit the three job candidates against one another in contests that will require cunning, strength, agility, memory, compatibility and a whole lot of shifting. Can Jake and Terry first survive each other? And will their ‘pretend marriage’ ruse actually work? You will not have read anything like this shifter romance before! With laughter and romance thrown in for good measure, this is a twist on both the romantic comedy and shifter tropes that is guaranteed to have you feeling fuzzy and warm inside!
