Rodrick Dracon is the twin heir to the Dragon Inn. When he finds himself longing for a mate after being footloose and fancy free, he finds himself drawn to the most obnoxious, brassy woman he has ever met: Jaxon Sinclair. She is the one woman who doesn't melt when he goes by or hangs on his every word. She is just aggravating and down right sexy as sin! Soon the sparks fly, passion goes into boiling and Halloween approaches. Can this wolf shifter get this woman to heel before the full moon? Will Jax turn the tables on this ladies man and tame the wolf?
 
Sneak peek Unedited Excerpt (please excuse the typos and other mistakes):
 

Hearing a knock on the door, Damien poked his head inside and spying Rod looking out the window, he walked inside, closing the door quietly behind him.
 

"Well, brother of mine, you seem to have found the one woman who could give two shits about you." Damien shook his head as laughter gleamed in his eyes. "Man, Jaxon Sinclair of all people and you just had to taunt her, didn't you? You couldn't just let it go for one night. Then you kissed her. If you didn't want her pissed at you even more, this should do it." 
 

"Are you done being an asshole? And please, can you stop giving me a play by play? I was there and I really don't need you telling me your opinion of the situation." Rod turned around and he practically growled at his twin in response. His eyes glowed a bright golden hue and his breath huffed through his nose in annoyance. "I need you to back off, brother of mine, before the wolf inside me decides to take offense against his chosen mate and tries to take out your throat. I don't think blood will get out of the Persian carpet and mother will have a hissy fit."
 

Damien watched his brother warily as the golden eyes watched him and he could feel the dragon inside him itching to take him up on the fight but thankfully, his cooler head was in control of his body and he shook his head in bemusement. 
 

"Ok, Ok…sheesh Rod, it isn't like I do not want you to settle down but Jax????? She can't stand you or did until you kissed her like that. Man what anatomy were you thinking with, your dick?"

"Not sure, Damien, what the hell happened but one minute I was trying to yank her chain and the next thing I know, I want to claim her and mark her as mine for everyone to see and know." Rod shook his head as his body finally cooled down to function and walked over to where Damien stood and laid a hand on his twin's arm, and said baffled, "She is my mate Damien and I have no clue who will kill whom after it is all said and done. The wolf wants her with every breath I take and it was hard enough walking away without running back to rip her clothes off and take her right then and there."
 

Rod's face looked up at Damien and it was a picture of utter perplexity that had Damien chuckling softly. Squeezing his arm, Damien walked over to the mini bar and grabbed two beers. Popping them open, he gave Rod one and then took a long swallow of his before answering his twin.
 

"Rod, love's a bitch and if you admit it, you have wanted her for a long time. The sparks between you two was felt by many people. It was a flaming miracle that you two lasted before combusting. My god, man, you found your mate and with the full moon coming tomorrow, you either deal with the hand fate gave you or give up learning what makes this woman call to you and the wolf inside you. You need her and the wolf is determined to have her regardless of what happens." Damien swallowed some more beer as he watched Rod's face get calmer and contemplative. The glow from his twin's eyes seemed to dampen though it was still there ready to flare in an instant.
 

"Brother you need her and now it's your time to claim her. Listen to me for a change and since I owe you for helping me get my head on straight about Alicia a few months ago, I would really appreciate that you not take a chunk out of my hide. I don't think she would appreciate that very much and if you think she won't kill you, and then you really haven't seen her pissed off and gunning for vengeance." Damien said with a grimace as he put down his empty beer bottle in the trash and walked over to Rodrick who still stood like a rock, a contemplative expression on his face. "Go for a run and get your game head on brother of mine. Jax is going to test you in every way and then some. It is time to get ready for a war because her heart is clearly behind some strong shields and the wolf will not settle for anything but her heart, body and soul before this is all said and done. Know you have my support and if you need me for anything, just let me know. I have your back like always, Rod."
 

Damien nodded and as he walked out he could hear Rod, muttering under his breath and smiled as he walked away from a man about to meet his greatest adversary: the woman meant to be his for all time and man; he didn't envy the chase Jax was going to give Rodrick. Chuckling, he went down to the Inn and made sure that the guests were happy now that the entertainment his twin had to deliver that night was over for the time being.
