Synopsis (Goodreads):

Can a lonely woman heal the cruel scars of an alien warrior’s past?

A terrible war left Frantor scarred in body and soul. Now he hides on the isolated ranch he shares with his brothers-in-arms, determined to conceal his disfigurement.

In the midst of a raging blizzard, he finds a beautiful human female on his doorstep. He is irresistibly drawn to her but insists on concealing his appearance, even as they grow closer.

Florie has worked hard to establish her business, only to end up alone. Then she finds herself trapped with a mysterious alien warrior. He refuses to show himself, coming to her only under the cover of darkness.

Behind his gruff manner she senses a loneliness which matches her own, and his gentle touch stirs long forgotten feelings. But how can she hope for a future with someone she cannot even see?

When danger threatens the ranch, Frantor can no longer remain in hiding. Can he finally break the chains of the past?

Thoughts on Frantor: It's scarred, lonely Frantor's turn to woo his bride and...let's just say his alien brothers took him by surprise when they dropped Florie off at his place and the guy wasn't at all prepared for her. I mean mentally and emotionally. Frantor has hangups about his scars and cybernetic parts and he has to come to terms with them as much as the idea that a human woman would want him.

Fortunately for Frantor, Florie isn't at all put off by either his scars or his mechanical bits. She likes his kindness (even in the face of an unexpected guest) and she isn't about to let his seeming standoffishness push her aside. Which means she's soon convinced Frantor to spend time with her and the more time he spends, the more he sees how nicely they fit.

Sure, it takes time for the big guy to warm up and he wears a mask (at first) to hide his more obvious scars, but these two get where they need to be. Eventually. And Frantor finally shows himself to the other brides, which thrills Nelly since she has a soft spot for the alien who saved her earlier on.

A brother who sees himself as a monster, a woman who absolutely doesn't, a snowstorm, a few good meals with good company, and some sexy times. Because YES! *thumbs up*
