Solar Bound

By Michelle M. Pillow

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.
