I don’t know how long I’ve been enslaved in the Lost Land, but by the time a fierce warrior comes to my rescue, I think it’s too late for me. This place robs you of your emotions and takes away all your hope. It turns you into an empty shell until there’s nothing left to save.

But, miraculously, within minutes of meeting Kai, I start to feel sparks of life inside me—admiration, attraction, and most of all, empathy.

My scarred hero wears the evidence of his own trauma on his skin. Hundreds of thick lines are displayed on his arms, his back, and even on his face. He’s obviously been through unthinkable pain, yet he’s strong, brave, and passionately determined to resurrect my dead heart.

Unfortunately, my captor won’t just let us walk out of here. Always one for games, the evil overlord presents us with our only way to escape: If we face three challenges in his enchanted maze and win each test, we’re free to go.

Kai has no idea what he’s agreeing to when he says yes, but I do. Without a doubt, it’s a trick. Because Armand wants my misery above all else, and the best way for him to get it is to let me fall in love with a man I don’t get to keep.





“Before the abduction, I was Rosita. Then in Valora, it was commanded that I take a more fae name, and Zarid chose Rowan. After he died, I never wanted to be called that name again, so I asked for Rosita or Ro, but neither suit me.”


After pausing for a few seconds, Kai muses, “What if I were to call you something else?”


“Like what?”


“A nickname.”


“And what would this nickname be?” I decide to humor him.


As if he doesn’t even need to think about it, he blurts, “Sunny.”


I laugh, but the sound is saturated with cynicism. “Oh, I’m certain I haven’t earned that. I’ve been nothing but gloom and doom since the second we met.”


“But you smell like sunlight,” he claims quietly. “And in your presence, I feel warm.”


Stunned by the flattering statement, I swallow hard. “What?”


“Even after all your time away from the two suns of the Day Realm, the scent of the air clings to you. You carry the essence of it as though it’s a part of you. It’s… sweet. Like flowers in the forest, dew-soaked grass at dawn, and fresh honey. And just like sunshine, you’re always giving but often taken for granted.”






Jamie Schlosser writes steamy new adult romance and romantic comedy. When she isn't creating perfect book boyfriends, she's a stay-at-home mom to her two wonderful kids. She believes reading is a great escape, otters are the best animal, and nothing is more satisfying than a happily-ever-after ending.
