Eat My Moon Dust by Etta Pierce

Renata needs a holiday.Tinsley is a pastry chef stuck on an alien planet where cooked food is printed piping hot and perfect every time. Where’s the fun in that? The artistry? The sense of family and community?
When snow caps the distant mountains, she decides it’s high time for some community-building festivities. No one throws a holiday bash like a Canadian, after all. But in order to do it, she’ll need some serious help, and she’s willing to do anything to bring some Christmas cheer to Renata.
Hunar Fareshi is fed up. He’s the chief engineer in the human colony, aging out of the dating scene and struggling to make ends meet while he provides for his children from afar. And the “fresh start” he was promised? Only attainable if he entices a human into coiling with him. How is he supposed to do that when he’s three times their age and seen as the colony skhrooj?
The end of his contract looms mere weeks away. If he’s kicked out of the delegation, he’ll lose everything: his kids, his home, his savings… When the offensive human with bouncy brown silk offers a solution, he can’t afford to turn her away. He’ll play nice and make strange decorations until his contract is renewed.

Then they’ll go their separate ways… Right?
