When Ford Piracini moves to Oakedge for an internship, he hopes to find the mate of his dreams in the big city. It's long past time for the boy-crazy shifter to find his first relationship. Although he still has one foot in the closet, he's ready to take that last step out - and the Fated Date Agency is the first and only place he intends to look. There's no point in wasting time on something that's not going to last. Jarvis Ashbaugh has his eyes on the new intern from the time Ford shows up. Gay shifters like the two of them are rare - and Ford is just Jarvis's type. The unconventional young engineer isn't looking for love. He's a free spirit, not the relationship kind, so he never plans to fall for Ford. All Jarvis wants is to have a little fun while Ford waits for his mate. But something more might be at work between these two shifters - something that's greater than fate...
