LET HIS BANNER OVER ME BE LOVE By Pat Garcia @patgarcia.bsky.social social, #MFRWHooks @rrbc-org.bsky.social @4rwisawriters.bsky.social

Blurb

It doesn’t take Chance Mancini long to accept that she’s allowed herself to fall in love with Gavino Mancini, a man much younger than she. To make matters worse, after their marriage, he’s led her into a lifestyle she has come to love. He is her, Sir.

All is well until she finds out she can’t give him a family, and insecurity about their relationship haunts her. 

Chance runs away, only to be terrorized every night in her sleep by her dreams. Three years later, Gavino Mancini enters her life again to repossess what belongs to him––her heart and her body.

EXCERPT

Chance gasped when Gavino Mancini came out into the open. Shock reverberated through her body. Overcome with guilt about the way she had left him; her eyes trailed their way down from his face to his neck. Once upon a time, she had delighted in planting kisses on the tanned column of his neck between his ear and shoulder. Instinctively, she bowed her head in the presentation pose he had taught her. She shivered as she remembered how she loved standing on her tippy toes to kiss his shoulders, his neck, and his chin, after he had given her permission to touch him. He would then reach out and pull her close to him and lift her up so that she could reach his mouth and drape his body with hers. At night, those same shoulders became her pillow after he finished making love to her. She would fall into a deep sleep listening as he whispered repeatedly, I love you.

  1. Shirley Harris-Slaughter – I love old buildings and history. That's why I ended up writing about the history that surrounded me all of my life - "Our Lady of Victory, the Saga of an African-American Catholic Community." Plus our church had closed and the school is torn down, so I felt it was imperative that we preserve the history or it would be lost forever.

  2. Kayelle Allen – Kayelle Allen writes MM Sci-Fi Romance, Mythic Heroes, Immortal Gamers, and Warriors Who Purr. Her unstoppable, unshakeable, unforgettable characters fill a complex universe with diverse settings and fascinating people, some of whom think they're not fictional. Fortunately, Kayelle keeps them all in line, or at least that's what she tells her therapist. She's also a US Navy veteran and has been married so long she's tenured.
    Kayelle Allen says:

    She sounds like a person looking for her lost love and yet afraid she’ll find it.
