Sankofa Literary Review First Chapter Showcase


One Night with You by Francis Ray
New York Times bestselling author Francis Ray continues her captivating series about the Grayson family and their circle of friends with One Night With You, as two people with no plans for romance find themselves blindsided by desire…


THE THRILL OF THE CHASE...
Cougars, brush fires, snow storms—rancher Duncan McBride tackles it all without a flinch. But the archeologist who’s come to authenticate cave drawings found on his property is the kind of trouble he’d sworn to avoid. Far from the aging academic he was expecting, Raven La Blanc is a stunning woman…and definitely not sticking around this small Montana town once her job is done.


THE PASSION OF A LIFETIME…
The primitive drawings at Duncan’s ranch are Raven’s ticket to the tenured position she’s worked so hard for back in Santa Fe. But there’s no denying the attraction between her and Duncan. Maybe, just this once, she can put her work aside and explore the depths of her own heart and soul? One night may be all it takes for Raven to really find what she’s looking for…


“FAST, FUN, AND FULL OF EMOTIONAL THRILLS AND SEXY CHILLS.”—Roxanne St. Clair, bestselling author on Nobody But You

First Chapter of Broken Family Ties is the introduction into the Brooks-Grover Family lives.

Enjoy!



Chapter 1

Changing Faces



Kevin and Ann Lee Grover were in the midst of raising their three children. Caroline is the middle child and only girl.

Caroline Grover is a tall thin child. Her skin is a beautiful caramel color complimented by bright brown eyes. All of the adult ladies would kill for her silky tar black hair.

Looking at such a beautiful child, intelligent beyond her years, some would say she is destined for greatness.

Caroline and her brothers Carl and Charles didn’t have to leave their home. The Grandparents Henry and Alicia Brooks eagerly took over the massive house.

The Grover children’s grandmother Alicia Brooks aged well. A hint of how pretty she was as a youth shows through her smooth tan skin. Her natural salt and pepper hair is worn in a neat bun at the nape of her neck. Her piercing black eyes betray her innermost thoughts. Agile for an older woman, she moves with the grace of a gazelle. Her tongue is equally as swift.
She treated everyone as though they were beneath her. Alicia felt people should strive to get to her level. She saw herself as superior to the common folk of her surroundings.

Alicia loved God and her family. She was cordial to her neighbors but never too friendly. For all the years she lived in the neighborhood she never invited them in to her home.
Alicia’s daily routine was working the land, cleaning the house and praising the Lord.

She was called by her first name in church once. Her reply was “I am Mrs. Brooks, I don’t recall formally being introduced by my first name,” her lips curled up, those cold black eyes challenging. “Are you part of my family? Those are the only people who I allow to call me Alicia. I shall be called Mrs. Brooks unless you are of blood relation?”

The member stared in disbelief at such unchristian like behavior. Alicia’s menacing smile didn’t fade as she watched the fidgeting member fumbling over her apologetic words.

Alicia felt she was deserving of the ill begotten home of her less than God like daughter.

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
