Only true beauty can tame the beast... Allyse Montlake needs a job and quick. But what can a curvy girl with a penchant for plant magic do in the current job market? It's just not the kind of thing that most people put on applications these days. To help her mother with medical expenses, she has to get something that pays more than her bookstore job. When she goes with her friend Cara to a job fair, she has no idea she's just applied for a position on Extreme Bachelor-in front of the camera and not behind the scenes as she intended. When she meets the man behind the mystique, can he love her for who she is and see the beauty behind the curves? Soren Rochester is a werewolf and the owner of Barks, one of America's most successful pet store chains. He also happens to be fighting a curse from one pissed off witch, and he's running short on time to find a mate or else. When his assistant suggests a reality television show, he reluctantly agrees. Can this beast find true love amidst the glittering dresses of the contestants, or will he find her only to lose her in a field of thorns?
