title: The Safety of Nowhere
author: Astres, Iris
description: Dinah Kelley has a warm heart but she's hardly noble. When she offers up her home to a displaced alien, after an Earth First attack, generosity isn't her only motivation. She's been a widow for two years, alone and very short on company, especially the sexy company Backusian males are known to provide. As a founding member of the Body House, the man she's let into her home knows exactly what to do with his considerable assets. He can give her healing sex, transcendent sex or just the filthy dirty sex that Dinah has in mind.
  
  Malcolm wakes in Dinah's home more than ready to oblige her with the spate of screaming orgasms she's after, but he also has to keep her safe. And there are many dangers circling around her--he can see them even if she can't. There's the danger he brings with him and the danger that she's courted living on her own surrounded by disreputable men. Caring for each other in the middle of such dark and violent times will bring a danger all its own.
