Rookie rabbit-cop Hazel Quinn always dreams about being a part of Major Crimes, but keeps getting upstaged by Jace, the precinct's insufferably charming fox detective. One tipsy night, she accidentally sends a daring photo to her crush Dr. Rowan—a deer, and it lands in Jace's terminal instead.
Neither of them knows it yet. When a crescent birthmark finally gives her away, Jace keeps quiet, playing tender stranger online while closing in on her in real life. Then the chat leaks, and he tells the whole precinct she's his secret girlfriend.
To save her career and investigate the leak, they sign a fake-relationship contract and move into the suspect's luxury apartment as a couple. Forced proximity, a scent-compatibility scanner, and one very compromising smart bed make the act increasingly hard to maintain.
Just when Hazel decides she might actually want this fox, she discovers the anonymous lover and her real-life rival were the same person all along. Now Jace has one chance to prove he wants the real Hazel—furious, proud, and done being anyone's Bluebell.
