I had hoped to publish this romantic novel before Christmas but it was a
case of the best laid plans going awry.
Eventually I managed to publish it a couple of days before flying to Croatia for a couple of week rest (and to avoid
the snow and ice in England!). Rest?
I started writing another book - the third about Cleo Marjoribanks and
Steaming Kettle.
But, back to Irresistible You.
The idea came about following several visits to Miami Beach, Florida. I was living in Florida at the time and enjoyed several
breaks in this city famous for its colourful Art Deco architecture.
Mel Sheridan, singer, and Andy Lomax, guitarist, once worked on the same
cruise ship. Now after failed marriages
they meet again - on Miami Beach. Andy is playing with a jazz combo and Mel is
on holiday and they fall in.
When Mel left the ship moved to California and married
singer Charles Prince. He didn’t live
up to his name and Mel divorced him.
Andy left the ship to form the combo with his friends. He married Joanna who had also worked on the
ships.
Now Mel is considering moving to Miami
Beach - provided she can get a Green Card, which can
take a long time to obtain.
Although she has to spend time in England
(between visits to Miami)
both she and Andy have problems with their former spouses. But that doesn’t affect their love for each
other.
Will they live happily ever after or will a tragedy destroy that dream?
I should also mention that I once spent a year working on a cruise ship
that sailed out of Miami. And my experience of getting a Green Card
also came in useful in the creation of this story.
No, I’m not going to tell you how it ends - you’ll have to buy the book
to find out.
Irresistible You is available on Amazon Kindle, Kobo, I-Pad, Sony and
other e-readers and can also be downloaded to computer via Smashwords.
