Title: Shattered by Fate (Part Two of Fate's Path)
Author: Jacelyn Rye
Release Day: November 22, 2013
Synopsis:
One heart cannot
remember. Another heart cannot forget. Both hearts reach toward
something to grasp. For Sarah, it is her past. For Will, it is to
bring that past back. The only thing standing squarely in their way —
is their future. Each has promised their heart and life to another.
But where happiness should be, instead are the dark billowing clouds
of a storm of reckoning. The thunder of regret splits a horizon now
raining down upon them in shards of shattered promises and
unreachable memories. In Book One of this three-part saga,
fate seemed it would not be denied, bringing Sarah and Will together
in a turbulent world, uniting young hearts for the right reason:
love. But — almost as if it has eyes — fate sees to it that no
love that is meant to be is allowed to be, without it being tested to
the passionate edges of chance. Accidents. Small ones are
remembered and retold with a laugh. Useful ones are celebrated. But
shattering ones — those are the ones that slip from the fingers of
fate. The kinds that are followed by silence as it roars the sound of
life changing. And it is this pounding drone that Sarah and Will —
once inseparable — now hear when they listen to their hearts.
After her accident, Sarah awakens in a hospital room and into a
very different life. Will, accidentally buried by heavy timber when
he heroically saves a fellow worker, is also delivered into his own
unforeseen, disoriented new life. Destiny’s dust never settles.
And nothing is clear when doubts appear. Sarah is betrothed to
Adley, while Will is engaged to Margaret, yet both are still
connected to each other by an indescribable draw seemingly groping
out from the deepest reaches of fate. A fate that deliberately leaves
the door of temptation cracked open, giving Will a yearning peek at
the naked truth of Sarah, who reaches out with the same tortured
passions. A fate that leaves both to fight the desperate desires of
wanting what each knows they cannot have. A fate that dares them to
ask, “What will happen if I finally feel you?”

Author Bio:
Jacelyn Rye is many things. She can be
as alluring as the love that flows from her pen: pure, honest,
simple. But then, like a storm that suddenly appears over the
mountain, she can also have you running for shelter where there’s
no place to hide. Like life, itself, Jacelyn delivers the hard with
the soft, the pain with the joy, the instant with the forever. All of
it, for a reason. And it’s there that one can best enter her life.
“I believe in signs, I believe
everything happens for a reason,” she’ll tell you. If you know
someone like that, you already know a primal piece of Jacelyn — a
person who actually listens to the Universe because there, she knows
she’ll find more than answers, she’ll find reasons. And those
reasons give her insights about nature, and human nature, both of
which she invites us to explore with her.
Growing up in the blue sky country of
Colorado doesn’t leave an impression, it becomes a lifeblood. For
Jacelyn, the clarity of that truth flows through her stories, her
characters and her inherent spirituality that somehow knows faith, in
the end, triumphs over despair.
Through her storytelling — firmly
stimulated by that early country life that taught her to always be
prepared when venturing forth — Jacelyn’s uncanny ability to
“see” what could happen takes readers into a crystal ball where
the future’s many possible outcomes await in a swirl of
incandescence, right down to the details of smell, touch, fear, love.
Because life also presents its
possibilities in dreams, Jacelyn holds dear that open door. “My
dreams mean a lot to me. I listen to them, solve problems in them,
learn from them,” she confides. It figures, then, that when you
read her stories, you’d best get ready for a trip with an original
dream weaver.
And then, there’s serendipity. To
know Jacelyn is to accept a dance with chance. She accepted one such
chance when she moved from her beloved Colorado to an unknown life
awaiting her in Southern California, where she lives today. “I knew
another beautiful world was out there. I was ready for adventure,”
she says, with the confidence that proves her faith is more than just
words. “I moved from Colorado as soon as I graduated from college,
thanks to a great job offer. The night after I received my job offer,
I saw a commercial that said, ‘California, find yourself here.’
In that moment, I stopped debating the move and took it as a sign
that my adventure would be found in California.”
As Jacelyn does so well, she shares
those adventures in her writing. In her first book series, you’ll
find Jacelyn’s experiences of this major life change play out in
Sarah, who also moves from Colorado to California. “What I’ve
seen and felt enable me to write realistically about how a Colorado
mountain girl feels about living in California.”
In the quiet mornings, you’ll find
Jacelyn savoring her coffee, outside. To her, it’s all about
listening, breathing in, appreciating being here for another day. And
of course, there’s time spent in the mountains, fishing, wading in
creeks with the people she loves. Curiously, this girl who comes from
the mile-high mountains, still fears the miles-deep ocean she
frequently visits, but only to sink her toes in the hot sand and
watch, in awe and respect, the thundering surf.
On any given day, be it in the
mountains, at the beach, or on her terrace, Jacelyn is dreaming and
writing, her way of sharing something meaningful with those who come
to know her.
One thing is for sure, wherever she
goes, wherever she’s been, Jacelyn is aware and thankful for the
gifts around her. Indeed, although she does not get back to Colorado
that often, she’s there in spirit, and in absolute detail, in a
moment’s call. “The smells, the sound aspen leaves make when the
wind asks them to dance, how tall pines gently sway back and forth
against a backdrop of the bluest blue I’ve ever known.” That’s
someone who takes it all in, who takes it all with her, and who
offers it to everyone who opens her books.
