Promised to a stranger in an arranged marriage masked ball he wasn't supposed to attend. Paired for life with a monster she doesn't know how to tame. The last thing either expected to find was love.

Wolf shifter Malin Fenren of the Dark Claw Pack should have been celebrating his first days as a happily mated future Alpha. Instead, the woman he thought was his forever mate left him at the altar for someone else and his exciting future turned into something far more horrific- a fate where he turns into the worst kind of monster he could imagine before succumbing to his own destruction. In a last ditch effort to save him from a quick decline into madness and death, Malin's parents swap him in for a spot in the Mate Masquerade, where volunteers from each supernatural community are paired in arranged marriages with strangers to maintain peace between them all.

As part of the often-maligned human community, Isabella Thompson stepped up as a volunteer for this year's Mate Masquerade in exchange for payment of her father's debts. She doesn't quite know what she's gotten herself into, but if it saves her sisters from poverty and destitution, she's going to make the best of things. Getting paired with a monster who might kill her at any moment was a risk she'd have to take. But falling for her assigned mate definitely wasn't part of the plan.

This paranormal fantasy romance book was originally part of the Wicked Arrangements collaboration and is now part of the Mate Masquerade series. Each book in this series features an arranged marriage masquerade ball where participants are paired and expected to wed and bed a stranger by the end of the night.
