a human woman and a non-human male, Open Door, Explicit. · Halgren Reach
Hothouse Hours
He touches every living thing on the deck except her.
Edda Holm has spent two years breeding one stubborn green leaf on Halgren Reach's hot, wet fresh-food deck. Then the power trunk fails, the repair crew quotes a fortnight on half power, and the deck's enormous Aurrin botanist puts her trial first on the list of loads to cut. In writing. And he's right.
Faro Lisvane runs his fingertips along every stem he passes. People, his kind almost never touch. So why does the woman who lost the argument keep watching his hands?
Thirty degrees, soaking wet, shift after shift at his elbow, Edda learns he isn't careless but rigorous. Then a blight comes through the nutrient line, and the only crop that can save the deck is the one he would have sacrificed.
On the last cold night there is room in the shelter for one bank of stock. He gives it to hers. She refuses to let him pay alone.
An open-door alien romance: a curvy heroine at home in her body, a seven-foot hero learning what she means by touch, and a happy ending. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and Tiffany Roberts.
