Marcel's Gift Marie Colligan

MARCEL'S GIFT: Even a pope can have a sexual past. One heart: two men. She's found the love of her life. Too bad it isn't the man she's in love with. An unpredictable meeting in the south of France ignites a forbidden affair when Solange Bernard is swept into the arms of the handsome Ambrose D'Arcy sidestepping the issues that she is happily married and he is Catholic priest. Their forbidden love carries the reader on a sensual romantic journey touching down in the ancient, Impressionist cities of France, the hot desert sands of Algiers, and the private, sacrosanct chambers of the Vatican. If you enjoy good food, great wine, and sex, come along for the ride. You won't be disappointed. The author, Marie Colligan is a four time award-winning writer.
