Do any books follow up on Mirasta Yale?

Funny, I always had assumed they didn't do it anyway. Riker would have charmed her into letting him out anyway. I think the funny part is the fact that "Lilith" has a funky sex fetish.
^Whether he submitted to her sexual coercion or not, the attempt at coercion was still a sexual assault (or at least harassment), and most people wouldn't see it as funny if the sexes of the characters had been reversed.
She gets a mention in Q Continum.

And wouldn't her disappearance raise suspicions in Malcorian society? Even though the Chancellor knew about it?
Funny. I'm not a sensitve pussy who's offended by implied sexual contact.
At the time "First Contact" was being written, the producers knew that Wil Wheaton would be leaving TNG and planned to replace Wesley with a recurring character who'd potentially become a regular.
We were told that Mirasta Yale might become that recurring character, which is why she leaves with the Enterprise.
The producers came up with Ro Laren a bit later, instead. We were...somewhat disappointed, because we would have been considered among the creators of Yale and would have been entitled to some compensation whenever she appeared on television. Drat!

Really? I had no idea she could have become a regular. Would Carolyn Seymour do a series commitment?
Oh well. Ironic, really...a character named Yale was almost a lock!

I've no idea. All of this was during early story meetings, and casting was months away.
"Lilith from 'Cheers' nails Riker" is the description of this episode that everyone seems to recognize immediately if I'm trying to describe it. People generally seem to enjoy that scene a lot, and I wish I could say that I wrote it...but it was added in a later draft by someone else.
Neither is Christopher. That's why his most prominent original character, T'Rhyssa Chen, has sex in her very first appearance in the novel Greater Than the Sum.
Christopher is objecting to coercion, not implied sexual contact.

It seems that Bebe Neuwirth enjoyed doing that scene too. Probably the irony in that Lanel is pretty much the polar opposite of Lilith...
It seemed at times like actors from every sitcom shot on the Paramount lot wanted to be on TNG.
There was a strong thread of "how will all of this sound in the Malcorian version of The National Enquirer? in a lot of the ideas thrown around during story development on "First Contact." "I Slept With E.T!"
The show really was about the Malcorians as us, of course, dealing with the Trek characters as LGMs. Durken hits that one pretty much on the nose during his final speech, maybe a little too obviously:
