She flashed
the sparkling diamond encrusted ring on her left hand.
He growled and yanked her toward his chest, crashing his mouth onto hers. When she was good and dizzy, he picked her up and deposited her back into the driver’s seat as if she weighed nothing more than a bag of flour.
“Hey, now.” She crossed her arms and pouted. “I wasn’t done with you.”
“And I’m not done with you.” He gave her a wolfish grin. “If we make it through the rest of this driving lesson alive, I’ll let you take your house-broken man out for some pizza and maybe, if you’re really lucky, I’ll even go to that club you’ve been talking about forever.”
“Really?” A smile stretched from ear to ear on Stasia’s face and she bounced in her seat.
She’d only mentioned the club at least a hundred times during the last year they’d been together. They’d spent most of that time traveling throughout the world, visiting werewolf packs and doing royal field work. It had been a great year. A wonderful year. They were just now getting settled back at the castle. Stasia, with her royal duties and occasional special live report at Lochness Broadcasting Studios, and Billy with his own classic car renovation shop. The wedding was only weeks away.
“It’s the coolest spot. I haven’t been there since we shot Vic’s dating show. I can’t wait to dance.”
“Only if you drive the whole way.” He held up a finger and raised an eyebrow. “Hands on the wheel at all times.”
“Were-scout’s honor,” she said with a two-fingered salute, putting the car into drive. “Let’s get out of here.”
The high-pitched horn of a passing car made Billy cringe. Stasia slammed on the breaks, smiled sheepishly at him, and checked her mirrors this time before pulling out onto the road. She couldn’t help but glance over at him from time to time, the breeze flowing through the open window over his shaggy hairstyle, making him smile contently. It was hard to look away. She loved that man.
Never in her life did she think she could feel this way.
It was safe to say that the Princess and the Wolf were going to live happily ever after.

Chapter One
Prince Leo Romanov glanced over his hand of cards at the ogre sitting next to him and flashed a dimpled grin. A sheen of sweat had coated the ogre’s green skin and he was currently rubbing an oversized fist in one of his beady little black eyes. Dark stringy hair fell across his face. His two equally ugly brothers, who took up the remaining seats around the poker table, had already thrown their cards on the green in disgust.
“Ready to fold, my man?” Leo asked with a hearty laugh and a slap on the ogre’s back.
The ogre grunted and sniffed. He glanced greedily at the large stack of money in the middle of the table. They’d been playing since nine o’clock last night. The first rays of the morning sun had already begun to peek through the dirty windows of the abandoned blood bank building they’d utilized for their game night.
Attempting to stifle a laugh, Leo ran a hand through his closely cropped blond hair and coughed into his elbow. Although already thirty-years-old by the time his grandfather had changed him to a vampire some seven hundred years ago, he’d maintained a boyish look with a clean shaven chin, dimpled cheeks, and an easy smile. It was a look that worked for him, both in the dating world and around the poker table. The monsters of the night always underestimated him. He had no trouble holding his own when it came to gambling.
And he usually won.
“I’ll call your bluff,” the ogre announced in a grating voice, pursing his plump green lips in determination. He laid his hand down on the table and revealed six cards from the suit of hearts. “Flush. Beat that, bat wings.”
His brothers grunted their approval, shifting excitedly in their seats. Leo stared wide-eyed at the cards. It was a decent hand. Better than he’d expected out of the creature who seemed too dumb to tie his own shoes. Maybe he’d underestimated the ogres and their determination to win.
“That’s a great hand there, Earl.” Leo nodded slowly. “Really great. I didn’t see that one coming.”
Earl snorted and reached out his long arms to encircle the pot of cash.
