Love’s Remains
(Where You’ll Land #2)
By Jacqueline Simon Gunn
Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 250 Pages
June 4th 2019
The second year of graduate school started out as a new beginning. I felt stronger. My heart had stitched itself up. I had finally healed enough on the inside to let love flourish once again. But an ever-present ex-boyfriend made the unresolved emotions between us impossible to ignore.
Then new complications emerged: Said ex-boyfriend began dating Cecilia, who just happened to be the ex-girlfriend of my new love interest. I should have hated her. I wanted to hate her. But, I have to admit, I liked her.
As the semester progressed, the tangled web between us deepened in ways I never could have anticipated, and it spread to those closest to us. We had the same classes, the same friends, the same interests. Then, of course, there were all the secrets, some of which could ruin the love I believed I wanted, I deserved.
Once again, I got pulled into the dizzying vortex of all that remained unfinished. And doubt crept in. Had I really healed enough to make myself vulnerable again? Had I made the right choices?
But the big question is: Can we ever really leave past relationships behind?
This is the second book in the Where You’ll Land series, but can be read as a stand-alone.
But I wasn’t trying to get his attention anymore. Now that I had it, though, I had to admit that part of me still wanted it. Him.
“You’ve ruined my life.”
“I thought we were waaaay past this.”
“That’s easy for you to say. I didn’t hurt you over and over and over.”
“I hurt myself by hurting you.” His face wore a look of compassion. I hated that look, because it reminded me that he was a good person, that he had tried over and over to apologize. He unwittingly brought out the part of me that I hated, and I projected that hate onto him, because it was easier to hate someone else than to hate myself. Tears poured out of my eyes. And he wrapped his arms around me, holding me as wept.
And I hated that his arms still felt good.
Alex pulled up in his car. He walked me over, practically holding me up as I acted limper than I felt. He laid me down in the backseat. Alex and he switched places, so he could drive me home.
I closed my eyes and tried to stop the car from spinning. I was horrified by my behavior. I dreaded going to sleep, because I knew how humiliated I’d feel tomorrow when I was sober and realized how much control I had lost.

January 8th 2019
After a bad breakup, I packed up my life and moved to Miami to study for my doctorate in psychology. I made one promise to myself: Do not get romantically involved while I was in school. I needed to heal. And then Will Easton came into my life. He was warm and sweet and intelligent. And he got me. What I didn’t know was that Will was running from a tragedy of his own.
When you try to escape your past without confronting your emotions, you repeat those same past patterns over and over. And that’s just what happened to Will and me, along with a few others who got swept up into the storm that was our relationship. Then came the awful secret. The one that changed everything.
Sometimes the most painful relationships are the ones that help us grow into who we are and to find the love we had been searching for all along.
Which begs the question: Can we choose who we love?

The High Queen is dying…
At the royal summons, Shae mounts a wingabeast and soars through the air to the high hold of Faeraven, where all is not as it seems. Visions warn her of danger, and a dark soul touches hers in the night. When she encounters an attractive but disturbing musician, her wayward heart awakens.
But then there is Kai, a guardian of Faeraven and of Shae. Secrets bind him to her, and her safety lies at the center of every decision he makes.
On a desperate journey fraught with peril and the unknown, they battle warlike garns, waevens, ferocious raptors, and the wraiths of their own regrets. Yet, they must endure the campaign long enough to release the DawnKing and the salvation he offers into a divided land. To prevail, each must learn that sometimes victory comes only through surrender
Goodreads│Amazon│Barnes & Noble│ChristianBook│Harbourlight/Pelican
EXCERPT
(Note: After arriving at the high hold, Shae and Kai visit Lof Raelein (High Queen) Maeven.)
They ascended a circular stairway within a corner tower of the keep, and then followed a paneled corridor. Their footsteps echoed above a faint thread of music—an intricate weaving of voice and instrument, which grew in volume.
Kai knocked on a carved and gilded door at the end of a short corridor. A round-faced maid bowed her head and admitted them. Shae followed Kai into what must be the Lof Raelein’s chambers. Exhaustion lent her a curious detachment, as if she walked in her sleep. The elaborate chambers themselves added to the illusion, for their exquisite beauty did not seem quite real.
In the Lof Raelein’s outer chamber, a seating area waited before an enormous marble fireplace where a fire glowed. Upon the mantle twined carven images of unibeasts and gryphons. Above it perched a variety of stuffed fowl—pheasants, wingens, and graylets among them. The birds appeared so life-like, Shae imagined they might spread their wings and take flight at any moment. On the wall over the mantel hung a tapestry that showed the first of the Kindren entering Elderland from Anden Raven at Gilead Riann— the Gate of Life.
The maid opened another carved and gilded door and led them into the inner chamber. Details imprinted themselves in brief flashes on Shae’s tired mind…white furnishings….mats in deep colors…vibrant tapestries…a prism turning in a stray draft at the window embrasure and refracting rainbows through the chamber.
The music ceased as they entered, but flaemlings flitted from perch to perch in a hanging golden cage and trilled their own melodies. A fire of fragrant draetenn boughs in the marble hearth snapped and crackled its percussion.
A movement drew Shae’s eye to one of the window embrasures, where the changing light of late afternoon obscured the figure of a musician bent over his lute.
“Kai.” A voice rasped from the carved bed that dominated the room. “You have brought her?”
Shae started. In a combination of weariness and awe of Torindan, she had all but forgotten the purpose of her visit.
The musician came away from the window, and light slanted across him to reveal a lithe figure and features of surpassing beauty. Vibrant hair of gold sprang above a well-formed brow. Fathomless eyes held her. Shae caught her breath, and her hand went out in a blind motion.
Kai’s arm braced her. “I have brought Shae—by too long a journey.”
“She will rest then, after greeting me.”
Shae tore her gaze from the musician as the Lof Raelein made her pronouncement.

The Emperor’s Seal
Touching Time Book 1
by Amanda Roberts
Genre: Time Travel Romance
The
Emperor’s Seal – the divine symbol of the Emperor on earth – is missing. The
Empress will do whatever it takes to get it back.
Jiayi has a gift – she can travel through time just
by touching historical artifacts. More than anything, she wants to escape the
clutches of the Empress and run away to a foreign land. Finding the Emperor’s
Seal could be her only chance at freedom, but is she willing to risk the wrath
of the Empress?
Historian and wannabe archaeologist Zhihao has no
love for the Empress or the Qing Dynasty, but when the Empress orders him to
find the Emperor’s Seal in exchange for funding China’s first history museum,
he cannot refuse. It is only after he accepts the assignment that he realizes
the key to finding the seal lies in the hands of a palace slave.
Civil unrest and encroaching foreign powers
threaten Jiayi and Zhihao’s mission and lives as they hunt for The Emperor’s
Seal.
The Empress’s Dagger
Touching Time Book 2
As the
Qing Empire continues to crumble, the Empress is more desperate than ever to
find a way to secure her stranglehold on the country. Every day, she forces
Jiayi to use her powers to see into the past to the time of Empress Wu to
discover the secret to securing power.
But Jiayi already knows the answer.
Empress Wu’s dagger is more than it appears.
Blessed with an ancient power, the dagger can be used to make and destroy
empires.
Jiayi’s ability to travel through time is growing
stronger, and she is not sure she wants to use that power to prop up a dying
empress. There is only one man she wants to save. The man she lost her heart
to. A man who died over a thousand years ago.
Zhihao knows he cannot fall in love with Jiayi, a
palace slave. But with each passing day, his feelings grow stronger.
When a ghost from his past walks into his life,
Zhihao may have to choose between his country and the woman he loves.
Secrets will
be revealed in the second exciting installment of the Touching Time Trilogy!
The Slave’s Necklace
Touching Time Book 3
Kill the Empress, save the world.
That is what people from all sides are telling
Jiayi. She not only has the power to kill the empress, but to set up a new
future for China. Jiayi has spent her life as a palace slave. Freedom for China
could mean a lifetime of servitude for her.
And Jiayi is tired of living for everyone else.
As Jiayi’s powers grow, she finds herself living
more and more in the past, even as the future is barreling toward her.
Zhihao’s past is catching up with him, leaving
death and heartache in its wake. Zhihao is going to have to make a choice, but
he isn’t sure he can do it alone.
Jiayi and Zhihao stand on the precipice of a new
world. But they will only survive if they can overcome the past and stand
together, no matter how much it hurts.
Get lost in
time in this thrilling conclusion to the Touching Time Trilogy!
As Jiayi woke, she heard her name being called louder and louder.
“Jiayi! Jiayi, answer me! Did you find it? Do you know where the seal is?”
Jiayi opened her eyes and the empress was right in front of her. She started as the hard eyes looked deep into her own.
“Jiayi! Answer me! What did you see?”
“Lady Cai…” Jiayi said as she tried to recall the details of the vision. “The emperor gave the seal to Lady Cai.”
She heard other women in the room gasp. She looked around and saw the empress’s other ladies, her attendants and maids, all looking at her. While the empress kept Jiayi’s powers secret from her ministers and male counselors, she did not bother hiding Jiayi from her friends and ladies—her real advisors.
“You mean the Lady Cai? The one the emperor nearly gave up the throne for?” one of the ladies, Princess Der Ling, asked. “He truly trusted her that much?”
Jiayi nodded. “He loved her,” she said.
“But what about the seal?” the empress snapped, grabbing Jiayi’s arm and shaking her.
She knew the empress would be angry when she found out Jiayi did not know where it was. But maybe she could give her enough information to temper her anger.
“There was a battle, on the road to Jehol. Some barbarians. I don’t know who,” she explained. “The emperor feared that they would kill him and steal the seal. He wanted Lady Cai to hide it, to protect it.”
“And?” The empress was shaking. She held her hands out as if Jiayi was in possession of the seal and could simply hand it over to her.
“And…I…I dropped it,” Jiayi said, tears forming in her eyes. “I’m sorry, but the vision ended before he could hand it to me. I don’t know where it is. But he certainly gave it to Lady Cai! If we know where the battle took place, she must have hidden it nearby and…”
The empress slapped Jiayi so hard across the face she thought her neck snapped. She held her breath, afraid to make the slightest noise and possibly invite more of the empress’s wrath. The room was utterly silent. None of the other women dared to go to Jiayi’s aid. After a moment that seemed like much longer, the empress stumbled back. Jiayi finally sucked in a breath as everyone else in the room audibly exhaled. She straightened her neck, but kept her moist eyes downturned.
“So close…so close…” the empress muttered.
“We can try again,” one of the other women suggested. She picked up the box and shoved it into Jiayi’s hands, but nothing happened.
“You know it doesn’t work that way,” another of the other women angrily whispered, slapping her hands away.
“But Jiayi is right,” Der Ling said. “If Lady Cai had the box on the way to Jehol, that narrows the search considerably.”
The empress sat down in her chair, looking as worn and exhausted as Jiayi felt. She was quiet for a moment, as if considering her options. Finally, she nodded her head. “Yes, it is time. Bring him to me…”
