Twenty one year old alpha werewolf Jon Wincester has had enough of his pack's alpha Romeo and his inability to understand Jon's insistence that a support network for wolves would be a good thing. In the heat of an argument, Jon storms out hearing Romeo shout "Get back here now, or don't ever come back!" Which is exactly what Jon intends to do. He turns his back on Manitoba and his pack and heads south. Realizing he is in Lucketsville, Virginia, he decides to stop for a bite. He meets a young wolf named Raine and they immediately fall in lust with each other. Getting mixed messages from Raine, Jon follows her one night, and what he discovers is the stuff of nightmares.Not knowing where to turn, Jon calls Romeo for help, only to discover there will be no help from the pack. On his own, he figures the only way to solve this problem will be he will need help from a vampire. He figures he can find one easily in a big city. He arrives in Washington, DC and little does Jon know that he will not find just any vampire but one of the most powerful ones around, all wrapped up in a beautiful redhead by the name of Dria. Dria comes as a package with her bonded human mate Rafe and together they will change Jon's life forever.Readers of Ms. Ellisson's VV Inn series have watched Dria, Rafe and Jon interact with each other through the course of three books. We discovered in the first book Vampire Vacation that Dria and Rafe run a vacation spot in Alaska that caters to the supernatural. Jon is Dria's wolf servant and the three of them have a close but unusual relationship. We have often wondered how such a strong alpha would allow himself to become Dria's servant, now Ms. Ellisson has answered our pleas and given us his story. We've come to expect our VV Inn stories to be told in multiple POVs, but this is Jon's story to tell and we hear it directly from him in his own voice. It's a story well told and, might I add, it's quite the story.It's not necessary to read the other books in this series, this novella stands on its own, but trust me, it will only whet your appetite for more of the trio. Ms. Ellisson packs the story with lust, violence, love and trust. Thank you Ms. Ellisson for letting us get to know Jon better, now back to work and give us more (please).Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild Dual Review Team
