The Genesis of a Book - Sail Away with Me by Kate Deveaux


Thanks for having me as your guest Jane, I’m delighted to be here and share a little bit of what inspired me to write SAIL AWAY WITH ME.

As a romance author, the setting is one of the very first things that inspires me to start a new book. In the case of Sail Away With Me, a cruise ship seemed the perfect setting for a romance. A man and a woman — strangers to each other when they step on board ship. Several Pina Coladas later and a good dose on that hot Caribbean sun and I had the inspiration for a sizzling erotic romance.

The waft of coconut, the glint of he hero’s tanned muscled chest in the moonlight as our heroine dives in to the Lido Pool after hours…with only her panties and bra…soon to be removed. Well, who wouldn’t be inspired to write just what these two get up to onboard ship? Add in her well meaning friends rooting for our heroine to ‘live a little after her divorce’ and a drop dead sexy hero who falls hard for the demure charms of our heroine…it’s a week of pure pleasure with each day of the cruise more tantalizing than the next.

SAIL AWAY WITH ME:
THIS BOAT ROCKS…

About Sail Away With Me:

Before Jody Carter and her three best friends ever set foot aboard the luxury cruise ship, Jody falls into the arms of uber hunky celebrity guest Taggart Keith, when he saves her shoe from falling to the depths of the sea. Their attraction is undeniable, but the recently divorced single mom knows the last thing she needs is to complicate her life in just seven short days. But that’s exactly what happens when Jody takes a chance — for once in her life— and gives into a week of sensational pleasure.  Taggart helps her discover her more sensual side — one tantalizing night at a time.
