A Bloomy Head by J. Winifred Butterworth A painting of a man and a woman embracing. Everything is sort of choppy and rough.
A lonely gas station worker visits a Halloween party at the estate of the wealthy town recluse, hoping to find love. What she finds instead is trouble—and a tall, handsome alien with a long tail, and a strange sidekick, looking to save her. She can’t tell if this big tiger with a shoe fetish is crazy or if he’s telling the truth about where he’s from; all she knows is she wants to know more about where he’s going. Keywords: Sassy pet sidekick, tail play, lots of fluids, spaceship, kidnapped by a bad guy, someone gets eaten because it’s a Sylvia Morrow book, sci-fi Cinderella with shoe sniffing, language barrier, fated mates, himbo, alien technology, he falls first, dual POV, holiday, he heals her, sweaty feet
