UNDERTOW Sets A Dangerous Course Into Unchartered
Waters
Hi, I'm delighted to introduce my brand new Cutter Cay
series, launching, with a splash, (sorry couldn't help
myself) with Zane "Casanova of the Caribbean"
Cutter in UNDERTOW.
I fell in love with the youngest Cutter brother the moment I
met him. For years Zane has been searching for a little
known Dutch frigate blown off course centuries earlier. A
ship filled with a wealth of emeralds and gold which he
believes sank somewhere in the water's near his home base in
the Caribbean.
Zane is smart enough to know that when he finds the
Vrijheid, he doesn't want anything, or anyone,
distracting him. And women, happy-go-lucky,
never-make-a-commitment Zane Cutter knows, are always
a distraction.
Before starting UNDERTOW -
or as I like to think of it - before Zane gave me dictation
- I considered throwing a leggy blonde his way. Knowing
she'd be a big distraction on the dive. But he adores all
blonds, and I knew he'd see through me, so that wasn't going
to work. I considered for a moment introducing a hot
redhead, but he likes redheads almost as much as he does
blondes.
I made several valiant efforts to match Zane with someone
intriguing. But every woman I introduced him to he found
easy to resist. After all, it was only for a month that he
wanted to be celibate so he could focus on his quest.
He was becoming a pain in the ass. I wanted to get to
writing his story, and I still didn't have the imperfect
woman for him. Zane loves them all, and for all his charming
way, he was having nothing to do with the tall, short, flat
or curvy beauties I paraded in front of him.
The youngest Cutter is charismatic, charming, sure of
himself, and loves nothing more than being the center of
attention.
I searched and I searched, and then - WooHoo! I found the
perfect foil for him. Teal Williams. Family friend -
vaguely. Antisocial - very. Interested in Zane Cutter? Not
in the slightest.
I gave Zane a treasure he had to work unbelievably hard to
win, and in the process he was caught in the undertow of
true love.
Happy reading,
Cheers
Cherry
BACKCOVER COPY
SHE TAKES THE PLUNGE.
Teal Williams is content with her career as a ship’s master
mechanic—until Zane Cutter, the “Casanova of the Caribbean,”
makes her an offer she can't refuse: to climb on board with
him for a real-life treasure hunt. Teal must help him dredge
up a shipwrecked vessel containing an abundance of gold,
silver, and emeralds—and she'll claim part of the prize.
HE’S BLOWN OFF COURSE.
Zane needs a mechanic—not a lover—and Teal, who can also
dive, is perfect for the job. So it suits him just fine
that Teal is completely immune to his charms…or so he tells
himself. But with a deadly enemy in their midst—one who’s
silently edging closer—Zane and Teal sink into troubled
waters. Trapped in the middle of a perilous sea, they have
no one to turn to but each other as they face down a danger
that runs unfathomably deep—and a passion that runs even deeper…
