Is he the hero of her dreams.or the death of them-and her? Interplanetary League series 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.
