A witch's ancient curse propels talented flutist Gigi Perrin back to A.D. 408, to the court of the depraved Roman Emperor Honorius and his admirable sister, Princess Galla Placidia. There, Gigi grapples with her disbelief about what has happened, and with the strange, new world of violent politics, social upheaval and barbarians straining at the very gates of an empire. Through it all, she must struggle with her powerful attraction to a pagan senator and military commander, Quintus Magnus, a man exotically different from anyone she has ever known. On the brink of a dark and war-torn age, Gigi joins forces with Magnus, battling to save a princess and her people, and ultimately finding love amid the chaos, before the fall of Rome.

About the Book:
Return to Me finds time traveler Gigi Perrin
happily settled into twenty-first century life with her husband, the former
Roman senator and military commander, Quintus Magnus. Gigi has resumed her
successful musical career, playing the flute for her adoring fans, while making
her first foray into Hollywood by creating the musical score for a feature film
about the Roman emperor Nero.
At the
film’s wrap party, Gigi is presented with a gift to commemorate her work: an
ancient Roman ring depicting the goddess Victoria. Stunned, she and Magnus
recognize it as the very ring that brought them together, and the one subsequently
stolen from her and lost in A.D. 410. How did it make its way back to them?
Magnus believes the answer is clear; Victoria sent it as a warning about their
dear friend, Princess Galla Placidia. They start researching what happened to
Placidia after Gigi and Magnus time traveled from the barbarous fifth century.
To their shock, they discover Placidia's life took a series of terrible turns,
culminating with the murders of her children.
Realizing
they have no other choice, Gigi and Magnus prepare to embark on a perilous
quest to go back in time and rescue them. But one ominous question remains –
how can they save the children without altering the course of history?
