Home Within Skin (ePub)

A homeless trans man and an alien sex worker ruin each other's nights, film a porno, and fall in love.

***

Jax, a disabled trans man with more hangups than belongings, has survived two years of homelessness by keeping his head down and refusing to trust. The intergalactic Rrhi immigration reshaping life on Earth seems irrelevant until Jax sneaks into a hotel hoping for a respite from the cold and accidentally barges in on a Rrhi sex worker.

Sei-vész is stunning, but his defensiveness almost scares Jax away. Almost. Jax sees his vulnerabilities mirrored in Sei-vész, so he accepts the other man's reluctant offer of a truce. What starts as a one-time experiment spirals into an unexpected deep affection that draws them into each other's arms again and again.

When Sei-vész tries to protect Jax from his own stubbornness, though, Jax digs in his heels. Love isn't a guarantee, and relying on others is what landed him on the streets in the first place.

If Jax wants a future with Sei-vész, he'll need to challenge himself... and open up to trust. Otherwise he might be left out in the cold once again.
