He glows. She burns. Together, they’re impossible to hide.

NYT Bestselling Author Michelle M. Pillow is back with a brand new sci-fi alien romance adventure.

When Solar, a golden-skinned guard from the eternal daylight of Solarus, crash-lands outside Duskrock, Arizona, subtlety goes up in smoke. The catastrophically inept Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides have blown his cover, UFO headlines are everywhere, and a black-ops outfit called Milano is already on the hunt. Then Solar meets Dani Ember, a fire dancer whose spark pulls him like gravity, and hiding becomes the last thing on his mind.

Dani has always trusted flame more than people until an alien warrior explodes into her life, glowing like sunlight made flesh. Forced into hiding together, their connection ignites hotter with every touch. But with aliens Eclipse and Lunar also in Milano’s crosshairs, duty and desire collide. To save his companions, protect Earth, and give his divided world a chance at peace, Solar must make the one choice he never planned for… claiming the human who feels like home.

__

SOLAR BOUND is a steamy sci-fi paranormal romantic comedy with a grumpy golden alien and a sunshine fire dancer, forced proximity on Earth, sizzling open-door heat, black-ops hunters, and a guaranteed HEA with no cliffhanger. Perfect for fans of Ruby Dixon, Tiffany Roberts, and Evangeline Anderson.

Book two of the Bound Trilogy installment from the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series.

Michelle M. Pillow

Michelle M. Pillow’s imagination has always moved beyond the ordinary, crafting worlds where magic, romance, and adventure intertwine seamlessly. Born in Belleville, Kansas, she carried a fascination for the unknown into her studies at Fort Hays State University, earning a degree in History and English, later complementing it with photography from the New York Institute of Photography. These early explorations of storytelling and imagery laid the foundation for the vivid, immersive narratives that define her work.

Since her debut in 2004, Pillow has become a prolific presence in paranormal romance, fantasy, and science fiction, with over 100 novels that transport readers from the star-spanning battles of the Qurilixen World to the enchanting streets of Scotland in the Warlocks MacGregor series. Her Order of Magic series introduces midlife heroines discovering their powers, blending self-discovery with romance and a touch of humor, while her dragon shifter sagas weave together love, danger, and epic adventure across galaxies.

Pillow’s writing resonates because it balances intricate world-building with emotional depth. Characters face challenges that feel both fantastical and real, navigating love, loyalty, and identity in settings that are as richly detailed as they are imaginative. Her work has attracted praise from readers and fellow authors alike, and she has been recognized with support from institutions like the Mississippi Arts Commission for her contributions to contemporary paranormal fiction.

Beyond the page, Pillow remains deeply connected to her readers, often sharing glimpses into her creative process and the worlds she builds. Her stories are not just escapism, they are invitations to experience romance, magic, and adventure from the inside, and they have firmly established her as a leading voice in contemporary speculative fiction.

★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 / 10

This was another fun book in the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides Series and I was happy to get to know both Solar & Dani better after briefly getting to see them in the previous book in this trilogy. Solar & Dani made a great couple and I enjoyed seeing how they overcame the various obstacles in their path. I look forward to reading more about Lunar & Poppy in the next book.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
