On A Fantasy Cruise… When struggling singer, the beautiful plus size Sameerah Clark landed a job on the Fantasy cruise liner, she thought she was the main act – not a mere backup vocalist for singing idol Tony Harmon. Angry at the unexpected turn of events, she blurts out her frustration. But Tony isn't offended. In fact, he's nothing less than intrigued by this fiery, sexy woman with a voice as smooth as melted honey. When he invites her onstage to sing a duet with him – a duet that he ends with a bold kiss–desire courses through Sameerah's blood… A Real Love Sets Sail…. Docked in Puerto Rico Sameerah and Tony spend a magical afternoon and a sexy, steamy night together. Sameerah is impressed at just how down-to-earth this megastar really is until she spots him in an embrace with the woman on the ship's deck. But despite what she has witnessed Sameerah can't quite convince herself that Tony is just another playboy celebrity – not after the electrifying connection they shared. But will her intuition be enough to overcome the jealous agendas that threaten to keep the two soul mates apart? Sameerah Clark joins her cousin on a cruise as a back-up singer for Tony Harmon, a teen idol making a comeback. Sameerah doesn't recognize the handsome, intelligent man as the heartthrob from years ago. As a full-figured woman, she's come to have a healthy respect for herself and her body, but still finds it hard to believe Tony is as attracted to her as she is to him. Tony can't believe how loving and generous Sameerah is-how can he not fall in love with her? He sweeps her into a fairy tale life, hoping she'll see past the star to the man. When Sameerah agrees to marry him, Tony thinks he's accomplished his dream until a woman from his past threatens to force Sameerah out of his life. FANTASY is an engaging blend of love, laughter and adventure wrapped in a gossamer veil of pure, unadulterated fun. Reviewed By: Cheryl Ferguson Romantic Times I am an avid cruiser having gone on over a dozen cruises--so far. So it was inevitable that I should write a novel that takes place on a cruise ship bound for my favorite destination, the Caribbean!  Also, so many readers wanted to see a plus-size heroine, so my Sameerah fills that request.
