a human woman and a non-human male, Open Door, Explicit. · Halgren Reach
Reach for Him
He has stood at the end of her bar every week for a year. She never once asked him to sit down.
Tess Kovar owns four percent of a bar with a ceiling nobody sane would have signed for. She knows her stock, her regulars, and — she thought — the enormous Umeth at the low end of her counter: a man who never takes a seat, which she read as his preference and matched out of respect.
Then a hull breach seals the transfer dock with the two of them inside, the chiller dies, and saving her cellar means two days of work shoulder to shoulder in a space built for one body. Close enough that touching stops being an accident. Close enough for Sennik to tell her what the standing means: among his people, a man sits only where he expects hands on him.
A year of careful distance. A year of nobody reaching for him. And she was so proud of being kind.
The lockdown lifts at dawn — and his transfer berth leaves with it.
A spicy, open-door alien romance: a curvy heroine, a devastating size difference, and a hero who will not guess. HEA. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon and Tiffany Roberts.
