Epilogue

“Merry Christmas,” Rocco said, kissing her awake.

Chiara blinked her eyes open to the still grey morning and stretched into her husband of almost two years. Their naked bodies melded together.

“A very Merry Christmas,” she said. She perused his strong arms, hard chest, and tight thighs before teasing her favorite parts.

“Second marriages are the best,” he said. “First husbands to take the boys sometimes and older kids stay with baby sister at Grandma and Grandpa’s. Let’s find out if you’re still a screamer.” He tweaked her sensitive spots and she moaned. He chuckled.

“You know we need to get to your parents’ soon,” she managed to say. “Jenny will wake up in a bit. She’s old enough to know we’re not there.”

“Dirty business to do first,” he said, rolling on top of her.

She wrapped herself around him. “Hammer away,” she said.

“Buffone Construction on the job.”

More than just that morning’s work.
He’d sledge hammered his way to her heart and together they’d built a solid dwelling. Chiara smiled before she showed her appreciation, screams aplenty.

About the Author

Celia Juliano learned to read at the age of two, beginning her lifetime love of books, especially those with a happily ever after. She grew up believing in fairies, angels, Santa Claus, and the true love of an Italian prince. Now she writes about everyday angels and Italian American men…as well as other stories of relationships, minor miracles, and happy endings. A native Californian, she lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

All her Italian American family books are dedicated to her Grandpa Steve (born Salvatore Pietro Juliano in Nusco, Italy~near Naples), who said: "Everyone in the world is either Italian or wishes they were."
