Eclipse Bound

Is this book a standalone or part of a series?

Eclipse Bound is Book 7 of the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series and the first book in Trilogy 3, a connected standalone trilogy featuring heroes from the planet Zorveya (Eclipse Bound, Solar Bound, Lunar Bound). The series is part of the Qurilixen World — an interconnected sci-fi paranormal romance universe spanning multiple series.

Does this book end on a cliffhanger?

No. Eclipse Bound delivers a complete happily-ever-after for Eclipse and Rowan. The Zorveya trilogy continues with Solar Bound and Lunar Bound, but each book is a standalone romance.

What’s the heat level?

Spicy. Open-door, fully on-the-page intimacy with a fated alien diplomat hero and a heroine who keeps her boundaries until she chooses otherwise.

Who is this book for?

Readers who love alien romance with diplomat heroes, forced-proximity hooks, and slow-burn fated bonds wrapped around a save-the-world plot. Perfect for fans of Tasha Black’s Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides and Renee Rose’s Zandian Brides.

What’s the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series about?

Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides is a 9-book sci-fi romance series organized as three connected standalone trilogies. The Killian brothers (Spark, Flame, Blaze) are hot-planet alien miners contracted to Earth brides through the Galaxy Brides matchmaking corporation. The Sintaz brothers (Ice, Frost, Snow) hail from a frozen tundra world where few remain, and their stories take the contract-mate setup to colder, captive-style territory. The Zorveya heroes (Eclipse Bound, Solar Bound, Lunar Bound) come from a planet of endless day-night conflict and bring the diplomatic-meets-fated-mate angle. Across all three trilogies, the in-universe Galaxy Brides corporation (first introduced in Michelle’s Dragon Lords series) pairs alpha aliens with the human women who turn their lives upside down. Each novella is a fast-paced, complete HEA.

What’s the Intergalactic Dating Agency?

The Intergalactic Dating Agency (IDA) is a multi-author shared universe where alien heroes meet their human mates. The Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series is Michelle M. Pillow’s contribution. Readers who enjoy Eclipse Bound will also love IDA novels by Mina Carter, Cara Bristol, and Heather K. Carson.

When was Eclipse Bound first published?

Eclipse Bound was originally released in September 2025 by The Raven Books LLC, kicking off Trilogy 3 of the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series.
