Synopsis (Goodreads):
The cyborg cowboys of Carbon County thought they’d won the day…Thoughts on Theta: Hoo-boy. The Theta of the group has returned to the proverbial fold and IT IS NOT PRETTY. Mostly because Troy, you know, attempted to enslave his brothers to his will as part of his master plan to break the consortium's hold on all the shrouds. Probably surprising no one, that didn't exactly endear him to the rest of the cyborgs or their mates and now he's forced to be practically human as punishment (and to reflect on why what he did was so wrong).
The Theta shroud designation was always meant to be an outsider—a spy and saboteur lurking on the fringes of the elite cyborg soldiers. So even as he built a personality out of the dust of Diamond Valley, Montana, Troy Lehigh stayed apart from his brothers while they lived and loved. A Theta could never hope for such a bond.
His only desire, from the first moment he stole his consciousness from the soulless programming that controlled him, was to destroy the consortium that doomed him to solitude. He would’ve done it too, except his brothers chose love over war and trapped him in their midst.
But then, a hundred and fifty years ago, he met a sassy soiled dove in a Montana saloon…
Nell Dearly had wandered too far from home and was struggling to survive. But the long-lost farm girl has no idea just how far out she’ll go…
The cyborg cowboys of Carbon County have fought for each other, for love, and for Earth itself. But the shroud consortium they escaped never stopped seeking them. Now every star they see from Big Sky Country is in danger, and only a lonely Theta and the saloon girl he kissed once upon a time might save us.
As it turns out, that isn't even the worst of Troy's problems. A blast from his past (who he unwittingly helped shape into the woman she is now) has shown up and she's determined to retrieve the lost shroud and return him to his rightful owner.
Look, it's messy and a little complicated when otherwise good people are willing to do not-so-good things in an attempt to save themselves. It also has a tendency to mess with a person's head if they have any sort of decency. Which means both Troy and Nell are tangled up in one another and the deeper they fall, the more they become aware of how what they're doing might be hurting the very people they're coming to care for.
Yeah, it's messy. It's also puts them on the path to (sort of) do what Troy originally wanted to do. Which puts them in even more danger because the consortium isn't exactly an easy-to-defeat enemy.
A whole lot of danger, two people realizing what it means to love, a twisted (and powerful) enemy, and plenty of answers. *thumbs up*
