Ruffskin - Megan Derr
An ordinary rainy day at the Bremen is interrupted when a strange courier shows up with a package for Peyton Blue, the Bremen's much-loved owner and bartender.
The package turns out to be a piece of something from Peyton's past—a gift from a man he still loves, but does not dare go near, because of the crime he committed years ago that forced him to flee his pack.
Unfortunately, the gift isn't the only piece of his past that comes calling, and it's up to Johnnie to put the past where it belongs once and for all, if any of them hope to have a future.

What did I tell you?
Johnnie snapped, slapping Grim's hands away. Do not touch me. If you want to touch, you can go back to your stupid ex. I said do not touch me!
Slapping at Grim's hands again, he turned and stalked across the bar to the pool table, leaving Grim to hang up their wet, muddy coats. Angry, he yanked down his cue stick from the rack.
The balls were already racked, ready, and waiting. The bar, thankfully, was empty. It had been nothing but rain, rain, and more rain the past few days. Locals were braced for the hurricane season not far off, and to judge by the already foul weather, it was going to be an interesting time.
Johnnie struck, sending balls scattering, wishing each and every one of them was the head of the pretty little witch who had all but plastered himself to Grim while they had been out shopping. And right in front of him! Like Johnnie did not even exist.
That was easily
