Jennifer lives alone. She works alone. She travels alone. Everything in her life is centered around that solitude. She doesn't do well with crowds or groups of people, so she's chosen a job where she can work by herself without being distracted. When her boss requests her presence on a company retreat that could lead to an incredible promotion, she realizes she needs to make herself seem as mature, well-rounded, and stable as possible. What better way than by bringing her mate along? The problem is that Jennifer doesn't have a mate. Red pandas are notorious for living on their own or in very, very small groups, and she doesn't exactly have a list of boyfriends on call. When a chance encounter leads to the perfect opportunity to claim a fake mate as her own, Jennifer doesn't resist. After all, what's the worst thing that could happen?
