Where Home Is
Emily Carter thought moving to Shanghai was the best decision she had ever made.
At thirty-two, the American chemistry professor had finally built a life she loved teaching at a prestigious university, surrounded by friends, students, and a city that felt more like home than the one she left behind.
Then war begins.
Overnight, the life Emily has built collapses into chaos. Trapped in a country on the brink of destruction, she finds herself responsible for twenty-seven students whose lives depend on her. With communication failing and danger closing in from every direction, survival becomes the only goal.
On the other side of the war lies Wei Liang, a military commander carrying the weight of a nation on his shoulders.
What begins as a desperate fight to stay alive becomes something neither of them expected. As war tears their world apart, Emily and Wei discover that love can be found in the most impossible circumstances and that home is not always a place.
A sweeping romance about survival, sacrifice, found family, and finding your way back to the people who matter most.

It created problems and rifts, but the worst part was the planning and conniving to gain that status; the concocting of schemes that only someone who has gone a little bit crazy would ever dream of. Aeric was always the easily roped-in participant, hardly able to say no. This time, her scheming will not only break the law, but it take him farther than ever, into a whole new life. And to make matters worse, this new life is in a palace.Complete
