Flame

Is this book a standalone or part of a series?

Flame is Book 2 of the Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides series, set in the Qurilixen World—an interconnected sci-fi paranormal romance universe spanning 8 series and 40+ books. Within Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides, the 9 books are organized as three connected standalone trilogies: Spark/Flame/Blaze (the Killian brothers, hot-planet alien miners), Ice/Frost/Snow (brothers from the frozen world of Sintaz), and Eclipse Bound/Solar Bound/Lunar Bound (heroes from Zorveya, the planet of endless day-night conflict). All three trilogies feature heroes contracted through Galaxy Brides, the in-universe interstellar matchmaking corporation. Trilogies can be read in any order. Each book delivers a complete HEA.

Does this book end on a cliffhanger?

No. Flame delivers a complete happily ever after. The Qurilixen World continues across connected series.

What’s the heat level?

Spicy—explicit on-page intimacy with playful, comedic chemistry.

Who is this book for?

Readers who love sci-fi alien romance with mail-order-bride hooks, dating agency mishaps, and steamy alien-meets-Earth-woman comedy. Perfect for fans of Mina Carter’s Warriors of the Lathar (Latharian Mate Program) and Heather K. Carson’s Mating Season—both bestselling Intergalactic Dating Agency series.

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

Not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, especially if you’re an awkward hot alien looking for a little loving in sin city. Remember Galaxy Brides Corporation from Dragon Lords? This is that company in modern day when it first started—aliens looking for love land in Las Vegas, and Earth women had better watch out.

What is the Intergalactic Dating Agency?

The Intergalactic Dating Agency (IDA) is a multi-author science fiction romance branding project—a group of bestselling SFR authors each writing their own fully self-contained series around a shared theme: aliens looking for love through an intergalactic matchmaking agency. There’s no crossover between authors’ books—every series is a separate world. Galaxy Alien Mail Order Brides is Michelle M. Pillow’s IDA contribution, set entirely within her own Qurilixen World and built around her Galaxy Brides matchmaking corporation (first introduced in her Dragon Lords series). Every IDA author’s series is fully standalone. Other standout IDA series include Tasha Black’s Stargazer Alien Mail Order Brides, Elsa Jade’s Big Sky Alien Mail Order Brides, and Cara Bristol’s Alien Mate.

When was Flame first published?

Originally released October 24, 2016. Audiobook narrated by Kylie Stewart released December 27, 2017.
