Alien Triton's Prize
Reeled into a fake marriage with a merman...
How was I supposed to know my new boss was the owner’s nephew? Now, I’ve been fired for speaking up about his roaming hands. And if that isn’t bad enough, I get home early to find my boyfriend bumping the girl next door!
With nowhere to go, I decide to join the Starlight Lottery. The promise of fresh air and a job on an alien planet where no one knows me sounds just about perfect. I’m ecstatic when I’m accepted immediately.
But when I arrive at Aquaria, it’s not a job as a marine botanist that awaits me, but marriage to a triton! Cetius has a powerful tail and an upper body that puts the best bodybuilder to shame. But there’s a catch.
He doesn’t really want a wife. He just needs me to pretend to make his aging grandsire happy in his last days. After, I can choose between a pampered life under the waves or trying my luck on a small human settlement at the surface.
Too bad not everyone’s happy with the arrangement. Some would rather I end up as sushi for the sharks of this planet. And worst yet, I think I’m falling for my pretend triton mate.
Welcome to the Starlight Brides – where luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed!

Lynnea Lee
Lynnea Lee writes the kind of stories that pull readers out of the ordinary and drop them into the arms of alien warriors, mercenaries, and mates destined across the stars. Known for her fast-growing catalog of steamy science fiction romance, she blends heart, heat, and heroism in ways that keep fans coming back for more. Her worlds are alive with energy and emotion, where survival and desire often collide, and every love story feels both otherworldly and real.
Since the release of her first book, A Deal for Zeylum, Lynnea’s name has become a familiar one among readers who crave a mix of adventure and passion. Her popular series such as Tallean Mercenaries, Xarc’n Warriors, and Kadrixan Mates are filled with fierce heroines, growly alpha males, and high-stakes missions that test the limits of loyalty and trust. Each book carries her trademark balance of intensity and warmth, reminding readers that even in galaxies far from Earth, love still finds a way.
Starlight Brides
Across galaxies and oceans of stars, the Starlight Brides series dares to ask what happens when fate takes human hearts light-years from home. Each story casts a different woman into the unknown—into alien cultures and unfamiliar planets—through a celestial lottery that promises more than adventure. What begins as an escape from Earth often becomes a reckoning of identity, trust, and connection in places where human rules no longer apply.
Starlight Brides consists of 4 total books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Book Reviews
I really liked this book by Lynnea Lee and enjoyed the world this book took place in as well as the characters. I thought Cetius & his human mate Vera were interesting characters as well as Cetius' sister Cetia and grandsire Cetion. The epilogue at the end was a nice way to leave off this story.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
