Tentacles and Wedding Bells — Margaret L. Carter

Two funny, spicy, Lovecraftian short romances:In the Tentacles of Love: Lauren isn't sure what to make of her inexplicably shy fiancé, who insists they wait to engage in full intimacy—and nudity—until after the wedding. Does his reticence have something to do with his family's eccentric customs and pagan rituals? When Blake takes Lauren to visit the family's Victorian beach house, where the two of them will spend their honeymoon, her questions are answered. First, he introduces her to his twin brother, who lives in a boarded-up attic room… for a very good reason. He looks more like their father than Blake does. Then Blake finally unveils his true self. If Lauren can accept the mind-blowing revelation, their love may expand to a whole new dimension.Weird Wedding Guest: At Lauren's wedding, bridesmaid Roxanne can't wait to meet her mysterious e-mail pal, Wilbur, the groom's reclusive brother. To her shock, he proves to be truly out of this world—a half-alien, amorphous, six-foot-tall collage of scintillating tentacles and eye stalks. How can their meeting of minds rise above the radical differences between their bodies?
