He’s a growly alien minotaur who wants more from me than a marriage…

Cleaning out the oxygen scrubbers on the S.C Britannia, the last and only hope for the British nation, is not everyone’s idea of a great job, but it’s all I’ve got.

Working as a ‘mudlark’ isn’t glamorous, but having lost my family I don’t have any other options, so I get on with it as best I can.

Until I happen across my boss selling our supplies to an alien troll.

I never thought I’d enter the Starlight Lottery to escape my fate, nor that my selection would be immediate. And then I find out if I want to get away, I have to marry an alien minotaur, who just happens to be a king.

So far, so fairy tale…the catch…King Asteron needs an heir, and he wants to get started straight away.

Welcome to the Starlight Brides – where luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed!

Starlight Brides

The series

Full series details →

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.

Read full series description

This isn’t your typical alien romance. The series pulses with intimate, character-driven narratives that explore how vulnerability can become a strength, even in worlds that seem harsh or strange. The aliens aren’t just love interests—they’re warriors, rulers, and guardians with their own scars, traditions, and secrets. The tension isn’t just physical; it’s emotional, cultural, sometimes political. And yet, somewhere between duty and desire, survival and surrender, something unmistakably tender begins to take root.

With vivid world-building, unexpected pairings, and slow-burn intimacy layered into science fiction adventure, these stories explore themes like interspecies understanding, autonomy, and the quiet courage it takes to choose love where it isn’t expected. Whether on water worlds, frozen outposts, or domed alien cities, each book immerses readers in a unique setting that feels fully realized without losing sight of the emotional core.

For fans of sci-fi romance who crave both depth and heat, Starlight Brides offers a universe where hearts are not only won—they’re transformed.
