Tentacles and Other Stocking Stuffers by Delaney Rain

It’s a satellite! It’s a meteor! It’s a…small alien spaceship?

The last thing bar manager Sam Litchfield expects to see when he gets home from work just weeks before Christmas is something crash landing in his backyard. And since he spent the drive there hearing on the radio about a meteor streaking through the sky, Sam is only prepared to tell the authorities about a space rock.
What’s he supposed to do when it’s actually a three-foot-tall alien with tentacles for arms in a broken spaceship? Well, in the spirit of the season, Sam helps Bhanzier get out of the cold and start repairs on his ship.
It isn’t long before the two of them discover that Bhanzier likes being in charge, Sam likes that too, and tiny tentacles can wiggle into lots of fun places. Sam starts to wish Bhanzier didn’t ever have to leave.
But two FBI agents think they know something crashed in Sam’s backyard, and then Sam remembers that he signed up for the Holiday Homes Tour with judges who want to come inside, too.

Sam’s determined to keep Bhanzier safe from prying eyes. But is getting him back into space and losing him forever really the only way?
