SummaryIs he the hero of her dreams...or the death of
them—and her?
On the day of her birth, Lia fulfilled a prophecy that ended
a 5,000-year war, and became a wife. But being the
fulfillment of a sacred prophecy makes for a stifling
childhood—not to mention a dangerous one. When an
assassination attempt goes wrong, Lia takes the opportunity
and runs from her destiny—as well as from her absent
husband.
Talon isn't sure what to expect when he rescues his bride
from a mining colony on a barren moon. What he doesn't
anticipate is her lack of gratitude and her repeated escape
attempts. Determined to convince his wife to accept her
duties, Talon knows he also needs to keep her safe, even if
he has to lock her up in his own quarters to do it.
As they get closer to their planet and Lia's coronation, the
danger around them increases, and so does the tension
between them. For their growing attraction to turn into
something more, they need to stay alive and learn to trust
each other—a tall order when Lia's experience in life
has taught her that trusting people can get you killed.
