Destiny Reclaimed Valerie J Clarizio

Preserving destiny is hard, reclaiming it is near impossible.

Duty. Courage. Betrayal. Selflessness. Destiny.

Jack Cornelis' life is planned. Complete his tour of duty in Vietnam, intact. Return home. Marry his sweetheart and have a family. But, the powers that be have other ideas for him. Like his ancestors, Jack is a Preserver. When duty calls, he's whisked back in time to preserve his family's decorated military record while his thieving relatives attempt to steal the Cornelis heroism to hold as their own.

Gwendoline Tebon happily marries Jack when he returns from war. But her jubilance is shattered when her twin brother is killed in action.

When Gwendoline discovers her husband is a time traveler who can change history, she begs him to go back and save her brother. He refuses. The Gods forbid Preservers to alter history, they are only to preserve it. Gwendoline is so distraught, it threatens the life of their unborn child. Jack gives in. But his slight change to history causes undesirable consequences in present day.

Jack scrambles to find a way to set the record straight before the new destiny takes hold and spirals completely out of control. But, can he? Is the new destiny now permanent and their idyllic life forever gone?
