The Pony Express Rides Again… On a motorbike. Lachlan enjoys living on the edge, and in a war-torn land rife with savagery, life as a Pony Express Rider puts good cash in his pockets and, on occasion, a roof over his head. Any roof will do. Doesn’t have to be his. Until his path clashes with Adair’s. At the Chlodwig, a ramshackle pub renown for its dance fights and high stakes betting, Lachlan and Adair’s heated argument turns into something far more raw and powerful—something neither of them is prepared for. Something Lachlan’s not sure he can recover from. This time, he’s met his match. But beyond the cover of the dance fights, Adair belongs to a group of scavengers, thieves who make Pony Express Riders their intended targets. Is Lachlan prepared to risk his loyalty, his job, and everything he thinks he’s earned—for a werewolf?

Embattled Lovers Adair leads a very successful band of scavengers, bandits who prey on Pony Express riders and their motorbikes. But since the first night he spotted Lachlan in the crowd at the Chlodwigs, Adair's been far too relenting with captured Pony Express riders, and he's been concentrating his efforts on winning the Dance Wars rather than snatching their prey. Adair's crew is getting suspicious—has their leader gone soft? There's no place in their world for a sappy Werewolf. Adair rashly promises a kill for their next capture—only to have his world come crashing down on him when Lachlan's motorbike falls in their trap. Adair can't go back on his word. Seems there may be only one option left—one neither rider nor werewolf is ready to face.

The Big Bad Wolf is at the door? It's that time again. Mating season. Adair can scent it, getting closer, harder to resist. Mating needs are not something he can control, not any more than he can control his transformations, but so far, Lachlan's been right there for him after every full moon. But what happens when Lachlan's not there, and Cedric, Adair's ex-lover, the werewolf who turned him, shows up instead? Will Adair be able to resist the pull of his instincts, going against his own nature, or will he succumb to Cedric's advances and risk everything he and Lachlan have fought to build together?

It's been a year since Lachlan first set foot in the Chlodwig—and set his eyes on Adair. What started as a down and dirty one-night stand has grown into something more, but what they have can't last forever—not when their lives are so diametrically opposed. Knowing Adair won't listen to any reasoning of his, and he's not ready to take that step that will take him away from his life as scavenger and dance warrior, Lachlan decides it's time to take action. It's a win all, lose all bet when Lachlan walks in the Chlodwig with a crew of his own, challenging Adair in a dance fight that will either cost him his lover, or win him forever...
