I’m the runt of the litter. Not only am I much smaller than my four raccoon shifter brothers, I’m always behind. They all know what they want to do with their lives, and they can’t wait to move away from home to follow their dreams. All I know is that I like to bake, and I like Slade—the huge grizzly shifter next door who my brothers say I should stay away from.

I’m not very good at taking advice, apparently.

Less than a week after Slade knocks me up, he goes to prison for murder. He confesses and everything. I shouldn’t harbor a secret hope that he’s innocent. I know that. Which is why I don’t tell him about the baby.

But when he gets out six years later on good behavior, I offer to pick him up. Because I have to know if he’s really as bad as everyone thinks he is.

Dean

When cryptids came out as living among us, there was definitely a settling in period, but now having a loch ness monster as your neighbor and a bigfoot as your security guard at work is just par for the course. Luckily for me, I happen to work with the sweetest, sexiest cephalopod in the entire building. Unfortunately for him, his people skills aren’t the greatest. When our harpy boss demands that I teach him how to interact with people, I’m only too happy to take up the job. I can teach him all about the human holiday of Christmas while giving him important people skills. If our lessons happen to look like dates, well… I won’t complain. And maybe I’ll get those sexy tentacles wrapped around me before too long.

It’s embarrassing that my boss assigned someone to teach me people skills. It’s also hopeless. If learning how to interact with human beings was something I could learn in a class, I would have done so by now. I’m an excellent student. But hanging out with Dean Miller isn’t so bad, even if my tentacles have a mind of their own and won’t stop touching him. He doesn’t mind my awkwardness the way other people do, and he doesn’t mind my tentacles either. His easy acceptance makes me want things that I’m not used to wanting. I wonder what he would do if I asked for more than people lessons?

Get ready for roaming tentacles, a shy cephalopod who’s never been kissed, and the human who is all too ready to help him with… everything. There’s ice skating, hot chocolate, holiday bazaars, tree decorating, baking, and of course a happily ever after for everyone (except for their rude boss).

Leo is constantly getting photographed doing things he shouldn't. Like multiple alphas at the same time, for instance. In a room full of other people.

The scandals are adding up, and his agent isn't happy.

When he almost loses the lead role in a high budget film because of his wild behavior, he's given an ultimatum: settle down with a boring alpha to clean up his image, or his agent won't represent him anymore.

The problem is finding a respectable alpha who will have him. That's where the Perfect Match Agency comes in. They promise to match him with an upstanding member of society in exchange for a little publicity.

Leo doesn't expect to like the guy. He certainly doesn't expect to be so drawn in by him that he goes into heat early.

But Leo has always been a little wild…

Heller doesn't need an alpha.

His life is already complete. He has plenty of friends, his dream job, and a tender relationship with his kid, who he gave up for adoption to two sweet alphas, only to end up as an honorary member of their family. Life is good, and he doesn't want anything to change.

Then he meets Sergey.

Half polar bear shifter and half Gentoo, Sergey is a walking contradiction. He's unapologetically sensual, but wants a lifelong bond. He's a wildly talented welder, but refuses to abide by the polar bear shifter welding rules. He promises Heller he'll settle for a one night stand, but after an all-nighter that completely rocks Heller's world, Sergey sends him a text that makes him question everything:

How about one more time?
