Sons of Lyra:
Runaway Hearts
Heir Prince
Lyra I hates his life, and it’s only getting worse. Not only do
Sebastian’s parents force him to remain on Lyra Prime with them and
control his life, now they’ve gone and arranged his marriage.
Unable to stand the thought of getting married before he’s seen the
stars as his three younger brothers do and tasted adventure, he
decides to run away. Only that’s not as easy as it sounds when
you’re one of the infamously handsome sons of Lyra.
Terea needs to
get away. She’s had it with men and her family. When she spots a
man who looks as though he has a little money, she sees her chance
and pickpockets him. The only trouble is, he’s quicker than her.
Before she knows what’s happening, she’s been caught and is
agreeing to leave the planet with him. Anything to escape Lyra
Prime and her future there.
Terea’s plan to
escape Sebastian when they’ve left the planet behind is shattered
when he cleans himself up and changes on her, losing his naive air
and becoming a confident and dangerously sexy man. A bottle of the
strongest alcohol available is her last resort, but getting him
drunk to the point of passing out means she’ll have to drink too,
and before she knows what she’s doing, she’s sitting astride his
lap feeding him the alcohol and kissing him.
When the ship
is forced to stop and boarded by Minervan military looking for him,
will Sebastian hand himself over to protect Terea? Will Terea stand
by and let the man she’s falling for get hurt or will she sacrifice
herself and return to her family for the sake of saving him? Will
two runaway hearts find the freedom they’re searching for in each
other’s arms?

Sons of Lyra:
Runaway Hearts
Heir Prince Lyra I only
had one thing to recommend him to women, and it was one thing he
wished he didn’t have—Royal blood. Never in his life had a woman
seen him for who he was. The second they realised he was a son of
Lyra and heir to the throne, they changed. Their petty flattery had
the opposite effect to what they wanted. It made him
leave.
He wished he were like his
younger brothers, free of the title of Heir Prince of Lyra. What he
wouldn’t give to be them, to be enjoying their lives and carving
out a reputation for themselves that didn’t tie them to the throne.
His next two brothers were both captains of the Lyran Imperial
Army. His youngest was in training to follow them. He’d wanted to
be a captain once, had desired to see the stars and experience the
universe’s many galaxies.
Leaning against the
balcony of his room in the palace, he stared up at the pitch black
sky and the millions of glittering stars, longing to be out there
with his brothers.
The piece of paper in his
hand rustled in the light breeze, reminding him of its presence.
Simply put, it was an order. It came from the highest power in the
land. It came from his parents.
They had decided it was
time for him to marry.
With Balt, the second
eldest of he and his brothers, married and settled on Lyra Five
with his wife, Kayla, his parents were anxious for another
marriage. More particularly, his mother was. He’d got the
impression countless times over that his father didn’t really care
if he or his brothers ever married.
He had to admit that
seeing his brother get married had made him consider marriage
himself, but he didn’t want it to be this way.
He stared at the piece of
paper. There was no name on it. She had been written about as
though she was a piece of property without any thoughts or
