Author: Alina Riley

Alina Riley writes paranormal romance built around alien worlds, fated partnerships, and connected short series. Taken by the Alien Bandit opens the Mated to the Baekex Bandit trilogy, followed by Saved by the Alien Bandit and Healing the Alien Bandit. The 2023 story pairs a human innkeeper with Tlezus, the alien bandit leader who takes her aboard his ship after a violent misunderstanding. Riley has also developed Crashing into an Alien Tribe, Reeling in the Alien, Alien Snack Searcher, and Holiday with an Alien Fated Mate. These sequences commonly use compact installments, recurring science-fiction romance conventions, and separate couples within a shared premise. Taken by the Alien Bandit establishes that pattern through its series-opening role and self-contained central relationship, while leaving the Baekex setting available for the two later books to revisit from new perspectives.
