Cynthia is a male vampire noble with one useless talent: baking cakes. Sent into a diplomatic marriage with the werewolf pack, he expects humiliation, especially when his groom, Carl, declares he would rather die than touch a man. Then Cynthia lifts his black veil, and Carl changes his mind on the spot. Their chaotic marriage turns unexpectedly sweet, until Carl leaves on a mission and never comes back. Weeks later, a letter says he has fallen for a human girl and wants Cynthia sent away. Heartbroken and homeless, Cynthia is taken in by Carl's cold older brother, Sephus, a werewolf who claims to hate vampires. But Sephus's restraint is cracking, Carl is racing home from the border, and one drunken night leaves Cynthia in the arms of someone who says he is Carl... even though everything about him feels wrong.
