Chloe Dennison needed a break. She'd always had what she referred to as itchy feet, needing to change jobs and lifestyles regularly. She knew she had simply never found her heart's passion, never found something she could do forever. The only place quiet enough for her to make major life-changing decisions was a borrowed cabin secluded from noise and interruptions, and just perfect for her to take the time to think about her future. After all, with her cousin Matthew working for Rutledge Security and his sister Mary married to Dominic Rutledge, she knew it was finally time for her to sit down and truly find what she wanted to do with her life.In this idyllic location Chloe runs into the one man who has the ability to make her heart beat faster and arouse her body when he is around...Samuel Rutledge, the last of the unmarried or unmated Rutledge brothers. While taking a short break from her long ten-hour drive to the cabin, Chloe sees something that makes her doubt her sanity. There, in the forest, with the full moon shining down, she spies Samuel...changing into a werewolf. For the first time in her life, Chloe has to believe in something she has never encountered before.Samuel Rutledge is feeling the pinch. His three brothers are married, mated, settled down and raising families. Now it's his turn and Chloe is the object of his intense sexual interest. All bets are off as Samuel and Chloe engage in a battle of the sexes where a simple game of cards has them sexually baiting and teasing each other, pushing each other further until one of them finally snaps.
