Travels With My Lovers: Love on the Run by Erica Miner
After the shocking discovery that her husband is gay, an independent working mom finds consolation –
and adventure - in a series of romantic travels. From the Beaujolais bars of Montmartre to the Monastic
cells of Tuscany, she tumbles, plunges and nose-dives into romantic situations that are exhilarating,
harrowing, poignant and funny.

In Italy, she finds out what she’s been missing in life, as she succumbs to the charms of a young Italian
in a whirlwind romance as hot as a Florentine cobblestone in July. On a subsequent trip to France, she
digs deeper into her latent sensuality with a droll little Frenchman who introduces her to the heady
atmosphere of Parisian boîtes and the captivating châteaux of the Loire. A year later, a debonair but
aloof Swiss Adonis captures our heroine’s heart, but his Casanova traits teach her a new meaning for
the phrase, ‘handsome is as handsome does.’ In the South of France the following year, the protagonist
is befriended by a charming married man, who inspires her to fantasies about allying herself to a family
man.

Ultimately her travels lead her to a cruise ship and into the arms of a robustly handsome Italian
engineer, who acquaints her with secret passageways: not only of the boat, but also of her mind and
soul. It is he who presents her with the real possibility of a lasting relationship. And for the first time,
she is forced to confront the possibility that, perhaps, she has had enough of love on the run.
