Sometimes the love of your life comes with a history you never saw coming…

Caroline
The morning of my wedding I discover a devastating truth.
So I do the only thing I can—I run.
Until I find Sebastian.
He’s twice my age, impossibly attractive, and holds me like he’ll never let me go.
He tells me I belong to him…
How can the wrong man feel so right?

Sebastian
More than twenty years ago I ran to the mountains, determined never to marry again.
Not after my first marriage ended in disaster.
Then I find a white dress in a dark bar and my world changes.
But I have a devastating secret.
I just hope it doesn’t cost me the only woman I’ve ever truly loved.

The Runaway Hearts series proves that sometimes the best love stories begin with the worst decisions. If you’re looking for a spicy, age-gap, forbidden romance, then you’ll love Sebastian and Caroline’s story!

He married me to end a war.
He ruined me on our honeymoon.
Then he accused me of betrayal… and sent me home pregnant.

Alessandro Dante was supposed to be my enemy.

The ruthless mafia don my father wanted destroyed.
The cold, powerful king I was sold to as a peace offering.

But Alessandro didn’t touch me like a pawn.

He touched me like I was his.
Kissed me like he hated how badly he wanted me.
Claimed me until I forgot our marriage was only meant to be a truce.

Then his empire was attacked.

His men were poisoned.
His warehouse was destroyed.

And every betrayal led back to my family.

Back to me.

Alessandro didn’t see his wife.

He saw a Vitale.

So he sent me home.

Back to the father who sold me.
Back to the brother who hated him.
Back to the family that discovered I was carrying the Dante heir…

And decided my baby was their newest weapon.

Now I’m locked in the dark.
Starved. Bruised. Pregnant.

But I know something Alessandro doesn’t.

My family is coming for him.
The war isn’t over.
And the baby inside me is the weapon they plan to use against him.

I should hate him for sending me back.

But I can’t.

Because somewhere between his ring on my finger, his hands on my body, and his betrayal in my heart…

I fell for the unforgiving heir of the Dante dynasty.

We spent weeks planning this trip to Sicily together. And I was damn sure going to enjoy it, even if my lying, cheating boyfriend just abandoned me.

I push aside self-pity to venture out and take photographs. Later, I lock eyes with a stranger at a bar. This tattooed god, Constantine, is way out of my league, but to my surprise, he’s all in—every inch. And up in his hotel suite, he claims me for his own. Over and over again.

Constantine’s touch helps take away the pain, and he possesses me like I’ve never known. I fall hard. But beneath his kindness to me, to his family, to his dog, I sense danger. How could I know that to the city of Rome, he’s a brutal enforcer?

When I trust the wrong man, I discover just how dangerous Constantine can be. He may call me sweetheart, but the Roman Republic calls him Emperor—and trembles at his feet.

As this is a dark romance, the author highly recommends reading the ‘content warning’ page.

When Persephone Lancaster receives a marriage proposal from the ill-tempered Duke of Kielder, she refuses—and then reconsiders. The obscene sum of money he’s offering Persephone would save her family from ruin. With her characteristic optimism, she travels to the far reaches of Northumberland to wed a greatly feared stranger. Lodged deep in a thick forest infested with wild dogs, the Duke’s castle is as cold and forbidding as the Duke himself, a man with terrible scars on his body and his soul. But the Duke’s steely determination to protect his heart at all costs is challenged by his growing attachment to his lovely and gentle bride. With caring persistence, Persephone attempts to pierce the Duke’s armor and reach the man beneath. Yet he cannot tolerate such exposure, and his repeated rejections take their toll. But when grave danger arises, the Duke realizes he must face the risk of revealing his true feelings or lose the woman he cannot live without.

A regency romance novel you won’t want to put down.
