Dirty Fight by P. Jameson

Rodney “Hot Rod” Turner has spent his whole life trying to do right by the people around him, but it’s come at a cost. Dreams have crashed and burned. His existence is stagnant, and the future is as dim as the morning is after whiskey. But he’s content drinking his nights away to numb out the consequences of his choices. Until he’s tossed into the thrilling world of the Vixens of Cedar Valley. Now his friends are settling in with their shifter mates and making him want a chance at that kind of happiness too. If only he didn’t have the weight of the world on his shoulders. If he could just offer the sweet submissive vixen, Seraphina, the kind of life she deserved, he’d make her his for good.

Seraphina Mickelson’s inner fox is ready for a mate, and she’s got her eye on a certain snarky-broody human male with a heart bigger than his collection of rock band tees and Converse sneakers. Demanding, bossy, and bold with a side of sweet. He’s the perfect man to take care of her submissive side without taking advantage of her, the way her kind would. But Hot Rod Turner wants nothing to do with her. To make matters worse, the fearsome shifter her father promised her to years ago, is coming to claim her. If she doesn’t find someone to command her animal soon, her future might be decided for her.

With a shifter threatening his woman, and unexpected tragedy, Rod finds himself in a personal battle he can’t win alone. It will take Seraphina and her patient inner vixen to show him how to win this one. And maybe if he’s real damn lucky, he’ll win her in the process.
