Fantasy

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?
