Overview
She answered a signal from the stars. Now the alien who sent it has crash-landed on Earth, and he says she's his fated mate.
Radio astronomer Dr. Juno Vale has spent six years exiled to the night shift at a remote desert observatory, living down the one mistake that made her a punchline. Then, at 3:17 one morning, she hears it: a signal from the edge of the solar system. It is a song, sad and strange and impossible. Someone out there is alone in the dark.
Breaking every rule in the book, Juno picks up a microphone and answers.
Nineteen days later, something falls out of the sky in fire.
Kael Varos is seven feet of storm-grey warrior, with silver light glowing beneath his skin, and he is the last survivor of a starship destroyed at the edge of our solar system. He crossed four and a half billion kilometers for one reason: the woman whose voice woke the fated mate bond in his blood. His markings blaze whenever Juno is near, and they beat in time with her heart. He has sworn he'll ask nothing of her.
But something followed Kael to Earth. Something that hunts. A secret military task force wants Kael in a cage. A traitor is bargaining away the planet for a place in the lifeboat. And far beyond the Moon, a darkness the size of a world is turning toward Earth, drawn by the voice that answered.
On the run across the American Southwest with a protective alien warrior who has never seen snow and thinks pie is the greatest achievement of humankind, Juno discovers a silver mark spreading across her own skin. The only way to save Earth is to complete the bond. That means doing the one thing she swore she'd never do again: believe in something with her whole heart.
Last Signal from the Stars is the first book in the Starbound Mates series, a standalone fated mate alien romance with a happily-ever-after. It's perfect for fans of alien romance, sci-fi romance, first contact, protective alien warriors, grumpy-sunshine romance, slow burn and instalove, found family, road-trip romance, and epic space opera adventure.
