  Summary

  When Lilian moved to Forks she expects rain, a small town and a quiet new life. What she didn’t expect is Dr. Carlisle Cullen – composed, handsome, and definitely not human.
  Determined to find out what he really is, she not only begins to test him piece by piece but getting to know him in the process. A bond evolving without either one of them being completely honest.
  How long until at least one party will, or must, reveal their cards? How long until her past catches up on her? How long until she not only has to, but wants to be honest?
