Mari is a young woman headed off to college. She’s lived a typical and unremarkable life; until she becomes the
object of desire of the hunky star quarterback who’s known for adding notches to his bedpost. Mari commits herself
to resist him, but that’s not so easy when you’re stuck together on the campus of a tiny and remote liberal arts
college. Eventually she begins to realize that maybe he isn’t who he seems, and that perhaps neither is she.
From a college campus in northern Minnesota to the sands of ancient Egypt, Carnelian begins an adventure, and a
romance, that will cross the span of time and space.
Mari’s
past and present are all mixed together. To start, she finds herself trapped in the past while her friends from the
past are now all in the future. She wants to go home, but Logan Jones has different plans—which include Mari. He
might say he wants her, but soon she realizes that there’s something more behind it. To save everyone in the future,
Mari strikes a deal. She must give up Seth and agree to date Logan. In return, he’ll teach her to how help her
friends and family. Only, letting go of Seth and falling for Logan aren’t easy feats. If Mari can’t figure out how
to do so, she might lose everyone she loves.
