use the agency’s office tomorrow night to audition people for a reality show. The owner of the agency called Homeland Security to report the incident.”
    “The vampires are doing a reality show?” Alyssa asked.
    Sean nodded. “Yes. And since they want to audition humans, it gives us the perfect chance to go in undercover.”
    “And infiltrate DVN,” Austin whispered. His heartbeat quickened. He ought to volunteer. He might get to see her again.
    “What kind of reality show? Is it like The Bachelor?” Emma exchanged a look with Alyssa. “With female contestants?”
    Alyssa shuddered. “They could call it Bride of Dracula”
    “I bet it’s more like a vampire Survivor,” Austin suggested. “They strand a group of humans on a deserted island with some hungry vampires, and see which one survives.”
    Alyssa grimaced. “That’s terrible.”
    Sean rested a hand on the doorknob. “You’re all wrong. They want men. Live men.” He gave Austin and Garrett each a pointed look. “I need you two on that show.”
    Garrett turned pale. “Oh, God.”
    Oh, yes. “How do we get on?” Austin asked.
    “It’s all arranged. Just a minute. I have someone waiting outside in the hall.” Sean left the room.
    Silence descended. Alyssa gave the guys sympathetic looks.
    “Well, here’s your chance to be on the telly.” Emma attempted a cheerful smile. “You might be famous.”
    “They might be dinner,” Alyssa muttered.
    Garrett sighed. “Why don’t we just bomb them all and get it over with?”
    Emma rolled her eyes. “Because we’re not sure an explosion would actually kill them. Besides, there are innocent humans working at Romatech and DVN. And Shanna is with them, too.”
    Alyssa nodded. “This could be the best way to find her.”
    Austin remained quiet to disguise the fact that his heart was racing and his breathing more shallow. His first priority should be finding Shanna, but all he could think about was the possibility of seeing her again. Shit. What was wrong with him? Working undercover could be dangerous, and all he could think about was the mystery woman? There was a name for agents who allowed themselves to get distracted. Deceased.
    Sean appeared at the door again, this time with a middle-aged woman in an expensive suit. “This is Ms. Elizabeth Stein.”
    The woman greeted them with a slight nod and an even slighter smile. Her dark hair was swept up into a bun, her slender frame held stiffly erect.
    “Ms. Stein is the owner of the Stars of Tomorrow Casting Agency,” Sean explained. “It’s one of the most prestigious agencies in the city.”
    She lifted her chin and looked down her long nose at them. “The most prestigious agency.”
    “Of course.” Sean motioned toward the men. “Will they do?”
    She stepped forward and studied Garrett with narrowed eyes. “Striking. I’d love to sign him up.”
    Garrett smiled, baring his perfect white teeth. “Thank you, ma’am.”
    Ms. Stein withdrew some papers from her expensive valise. “You understand that I represent only the most promising actors and actresses in the city. I am highly selective.”
    “So are we,” Austin muttered.
    She turned and inspected him slowly. With the lift of an eyebrow, she sniffed. “He’s not my type, but he’ll do.”
    “What? I’m not striking?” Austin tried to look appalled. “My sensitive side is crushed.” Or it would be, if he had one.
    “Austin.” Sean shot him a warning look. “Fill out the paperwork. And since you two will be working undercover, invent new names for yourselves.”
    Ms. Stein passed out the papers. “I suggest you select a name that would be appropriate for the stage or television.”
    Austin skimmed over the contract, then filled it out and signed it. “What kind of reality show is it?”
    “I don’t know a great deal about it, but it appears to be a competition.” Ms. Stein slanted a doubtful look at Austin. “It’s called The Sexiest Man on Earth”
    Emma let out a
