sun-bronzed surfer voice.
    I gulped. "Yeah."
    Being around them both made me feel like I was thirteen years old again. As Logan shoved my luggage in the back of the taxi, Kai leaned in deathly close to me. I gazed dumbfounded at his tense eyes. Kai stared at me too with a craving lick of the corner of his mouth.
    "There's one catch, where we're going you need to dress up a bit. No worries. By the looks of it, you'd fill out a dress very nicely..."
    Having been out of the dating game for a while, I was dazed.
    Wait, is this hunk actually hitting on me?
    My throat constricted with total and utter disbelief. Kai moved back and smiled before ducking low into the car.
    Logan shouted. "Everything's packed up. Let's get outta here."
    *
    I wore the only dressy outfit I brought—a pair of bedazzled hip-hugging jeans. Which wasn't really dressy at all. More low-scale casual. But the reason I don't buy the fancier stuff is because—well, no one's looking at me. Most of the time I'm roaming aisles of the library with my nose in a good book. Sorta got a real bad weakness for shameless steamy romance...
    "Ah! There she is," Logan announced with a smile stretching across his face. He advanced towards me with a rapid pace. So, fast that my heart hammered in my chest.
    A bunch of extremely attractive people stood around. It was hard not to notice. Are All of these people here for me? This was a much bigger welcoming than I thought.
    Kai urged me to speak to the crowd, guiding me by the small of my back. When we stopped, he encircled me in his deliciously tattooed arms. I don’t know what it was. His cologne. His hair gel Or, his musk. But something about Kai Hunter made me struggle to breathe.
    "Say a little something, Jenny." I stumbled up to the microphone.
    "Uh-hey, my name is Jenny Mason. And I just wanted to say that this is a dream come true ."
    The crowd standing on the beach applauded. That's when Kai and Logan surprised me, when they stepped up to my sides.
    "Tonight is a special night for our weretiger clan. Tonight we have chosen a mate—"
    Mate? weretiger? Wuh?
    Kai continued. "—who will choose one of us to breed strong healthy cubs. She’s a mail order bride from CurvyStripes.com"
    I raised my eyebrow totally bewildered.
    No. No. No. This isn't what I signed up for at all...
    "As the two Alphas of the Hunter clan, Logan and I will battle to claim Jenny as our mate, bride and our pleasing lover."
    The crowd applauded even louder and my body went completely rigid. "Wait!" I tried to shout over the crowd.
    What the HELL have I gotten myself into?!

Chapter Two
    A fter his speech, I grabbed tightly on to Kai's shirt, popping one of his buttons. Kai then leaned down to me. And I’m not sure, but I think he sniffed my hair...
    "Everything okay?" he asked cocking his head. He had an earthy cologne, that made being close to him almost addictive.
    " No, no, no , I think you don’t understand. I won a raffle at the Library. I’m not the girl you think I am."
    “You’re fine,” Kai shrugged his broad shoulders. “Just because we’re two alphas who ordered you off the internet, doesn’t mean we won’t woo you—you’ll see.”
    That’s not what worried me at all. My mind raced at the thought of having to lie to the Hunters, but if I told them who I really was? Would they just eat me alive ?
    Logan eased between Kai and me and wrapped his heavily muscled arm around my waist. Both of the brothers led me around like they owned me. Like they wanted to mark their territory.
    “I think I got this, bro. Let me take Jenny off of your hands...” Logan bellowed with a dark animalistic tone.
    Maybe I can just make a run for it. I pondered.
    All I kept thinking to myself is... Fat girls don't run.
    “How long do I have to decide between you two?” I asked, swallowing hard.
    “You have a week. Most mated pairs happen much faster, but we thought we’d take things slowly,” Logan replied.
    Only seven days?
    Seven days was just as
