Fake Mate for Gamers
Category: consort of fire
Two wolf shifters, Mackenzie Carter and Noah Taylor, reluctantly agree to engage in a pretend mating arrangement, but to their surprise, they discover something genuine blossoming between them in this steamy paranormal romantic comedy by Lana Ferguson.
Mackenzie, a young doctor, has endured a string of disastrous dates. From model train enthusiasts to mansplainers, and even men strangely fixated on her tail, she has struggled to find a suitable partner. With her grandmother's constant pressure to settle down, Mackenzie feels cornered. In a moment of desperation, she decides to tell her grandmother that she has found someone, blurting out the name of the first man she sees - Noah Taylor, the brooding and reclusive interventional cardiologist at Denver General.
Noah has spent his entire life concealing his true nature as a wolf shifter. Outdated societal stigmas surrounding unmated alphas have made him wary of revealing his supernatural identity, fearing it could jeopardize his medical career. When an anonymous tip threatens to expose his secret, Noah is left with two choices: come clean to the hospital board and risk everything, or find himself a mate. Fate seems to intervene when the friendly ER doctor, Mackenzie, approaches him with a proposition - to be her fake boyfriend and help her appease her grandmother.
Mackenzie and Noah rationalize that this arrangement would be a mutually beneficial business transaction. Mackenzie would keep her grandmother off her back, while Noah would have the opportunity to prove he can continue working without a real mate. What starts as a pretense, however, soon evolves into a very real friends-with-benefits relationship, blurring the lines between their fake and genuine feelings.
As Mackenzie and Noah navigate the complexities of their growing bond, they come to the realization that love is a completely different kind of animal. The initial convenience of their arrangement gives way to a deeper connection, forcing them to confront the unexpected emotions that have taken root.
Through this steamy paranormal romantic comedy, Lana Ferguson masterfully weaves a tale of two wolf shifters who, in their quest to maintain control over their lives, unexpectedly find themselves surrendering to the undeniable pull of a real and profound love.
