Trager Smith is a workaholic. It keeps his mind busy from always being pressured into settling down. But he refuses after experiencing a horrible breakup, and now, he’s written off relationships, reconciling with a life of solitude. However, his construction crew buddies have other plans, setting him up for a night of fun with a down-and-out stripper. Reatha Johnson has been a dancer since before being legal. It’s how it is in these parts. Females aren’t worth much, seen as only a means to an end. And her wolf is exhausted, ready to submit to a man who sees her as nothing more than a paycheck. Will Trager work through a haunting past to find his future? Will Reatha claw her way out of the club? Will Trager and Reatha be each other’s saviors, or will they sink together?
