Synopsis (Goodreads):

Can a desperate woman and a lonely alien shifter work together to defeat an unknown enemy?

A new year should be a time for new hope, but this year, Meg finds it hard to be optimistic. Betrayal and bad luck threaten everything she has worked for. And although she would never admit it, she’s lonely on her isolated farm.

During a last, desperate trip to find help, an old friend talks her into a blind date for the year end celebration. Despite her reluctance, the big, quiet alien sparks an almost forgotten desire, and she gives in for one reckless night.

Roardon is used to being alone. Other species regard his race with fear and suspicion. His brief encounter with a strong, beautiful female leaves him wanting more, but she disappears without a trace.

Then she appears again at the auction for contract workers. When a lack of other options forces her to hire him, he’s delighted at the chance to spend more time with her, despite the suspicion he can see on her face.

But Meg is in more trouble than she knows and the only way to save her may be to reveal his darkest secret - and lose her forever.

Thoughts on Her Alien Farmhand: Alien shapeshifters, folks. I am here for that! Seriously. It worked for me hard and I'm loving the slightly dangerous world and even more dangerous people who inhabit it.

So. Meg and Roardon. She's a woman on her own trying desperately to hang onto the farm that's been in her family for generations. One steamy night with a mystery man (and by that I mean she thinks he's her blind date and whoops, wrong dude) and a farmhand auction later and Meg has herself a slightly feral (but gentlemanly all the same) hunk to help her hold onto the homestead.

As for Roardon, he's lonely, for lack of a better word. He doesn't quite fit in with either his father's or his mother's people and he's been drifting through life just trying to make a place for himself. Meg gives him a purpose he didn't know he needed. She roused his beast (in a good way) and made him want to be the person she thought he was. So he does his thing and does what he can do to keep her safe.

A little steam, a little danger, a lady who wants to hold onto her heritage, and a man who is trying to find his place in the world. *thumbs up*
