Synopsis (Goodreads):

Discipline. Restraint. Control.

Tomlin has been hiding his true nature his entire life, but cracks are beginning to show in his perfect facade. And then he meets a beautiful, intelligent female who could destroy all his barriers. He should run but he needs her help... he needs her.

Etta is too thin and too plain to interest most men, and that suits her just fine. Her scientific studies are far more interesting. She is sure that the stranger who appears at her remote lab is more than he seems to be, and she’d determined to solve the puzzle he presents.

But the more she uncovers, the more intrigued she becomes. He is rapidly becoming much more to her than an experiment, but the secrets he conceals could change everything...

Thoughts on Tomlin: Mysterious, rigidly controlled Tomlin is up and his special someone is a scientist more comfortable in a lab than being around others. Which actually works out nicely because Tomlin's not a big fan of being surrounded by people either.

Working on cleaning up the plot by Constance's father to build a weapon that could hurt many, Tomlin is already skating on the edge of his control. Following up on research on the gems that were going to used for the weapon, Tomlin finds an intense women with an insatiable mind instead of the staid male research doctor he was expecting. Let's just say that he's shocked by his response to her and has to go on some long runs to reinstate that control he's known for.

On Etta's end, she's convinced herself she's happier on her own, but she's lonely. Tomlin, with his folk stories and penchant for tidying up when things get messy, sparks her interest. The fact he's not entirely human doesn't bother her. Neither does his rather intense responses to her whenever things start to heat up.

Found family, experiments, a little danger, a man trying to find his place, and a lady who knows when someone special walks through her door. *thumbs up*
