a human woman and a non-human male, Open Door, Explicit. · Halgren Reach
Offered Aloud
His people may not touch a human until she offers it aloud. No human ever has.
Ros Tierney talks for a living. She is Halgren Reach's dockside interpreter, the woman who makes three species understand each other over bad radios. When the first Ombrai delegation stalls at the top of the gangway, she offers her hand to their security officer just to get them moving: Ilun Taresh, seven feet of careful, oxblood-skinned silence, a year in transit with no one to touch.
He takes exactly her hand. Not her wrist. Not one inch past her words.
So every time Ros wants more, she has to say it. Out loud, in plain words. And the woman who voices everyone else's sentences has never once said what she wants for herself.
Then his envoy charges him with touching her past her offer, and the only voice that can clear him is hers: on the record, in front of the whole dock.
An open-door alien romance: a curvy heroine at home in her body, an enormous hero who will not guess, and every touch offered aloud. HEA. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and Tiffany Roberts.
