Sons of Lyra: Runaway Hearts

by Felicity Heaton

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?

He listened to their loud laughter and chatter, and shook his head when one of them accidentally fired off a shot. He sighed. After all these years, he still couldn't understand why the city types insisted on coming to his mountain and disturbing his peace with their drunken hunting. Didn't they realise the dangers of the area, and carrying a gun when under the influence? If someone got killed tonight, it wouldn't be the first time, and he was getting tired of the inquests. The local police knew he had nothing to do with it, but they still insisted on questioning him every time a bunch of suits got it into their head to get drunk in town and get killed on the mountain.

When he'd first arrived in this part of the world all those years ago, he'd thought that being two miles from the nearest town would buy him a little peace, but it didn't.

He glanced up at the bright hunter's moon that was bathing the world in a silvery light and then at the mountains on the horizon.

Turning his back on the falling night, he walked into the cabin and closed the door. He locked it and then drew the little curtain aside and checked that the hunters were gone. Seeing no sign of them, he moved to the windows, drawing the drapes so they shut the world out.

He kicked his boots off beside the door and then walked across the wooden floor to the fireplace. Taking hold of one of the irons beside it, he stoked the embe...
