Anyone who follows my blog should know I'm a fan of the 1Night Stand series. Last summer, I had the pleasure of meeting KT in person -- hanging out in New Orleans over drinks. She's a wild one! Here's a glimpse into the making of her new release, Island Pleasures.
As a writer, it’s great creating unique settings for my
books. With Decadent
Publishing’s 1Night
Stand series, the possibilities are endless when it comes to different
settings. The first book I published for the 1Night
Stand series, A Bid
For Love, takes place in Las Vegas. I know Las Vegas well. I’ve been
there three times. It was great to show off my view of Las Vegas and the
atmosphere there, as well as the two men who fall for one another while trying
out an amazing penthouse suite in a ritzy casino (including a hot tub that’s
put to good use by the main couple).
After I finished writing A Bid For Love, I planned for another
character, who was introduced briefly, to be the star of the second book in my
1Night Stand world. Carly Kimball is the neighbor of Reece, one of the heroes
of A Bid For Love. In her one scene
with Reece, Carly comment how she wants to scope out the Castillo Resort on
Grand Turk in the Caribbean. The moment I wrote that, I knew Carly had to end
up in Grand Turk. It gave me the perfect excuse to set her story on an island
paradise, thus the title, Island
Pleasures (pretty appropriate, don’t you think?)
I’ve also been to the Caribbean the same number of times
I’ve been to Las Vegas, so I have knowledge of what a Caribbean island is like.
I’ve never been to Grand Turk, but with the help of the internet, I was able to
research this island that’s one vacation destination I recommend anyone go to. Nothing
says romance like a clear blue ocean, tropical breezes and a fancy resort where
romance is in the air. Carly doesn’t have any interest in being romanced on
Grand Turk. Her reason for going there is to expose the 1 Night Stand online
dating service and the Castillo corporation, both of which she thinks are shady
businesses. What Carly has no idea about is that she’ll not only come in
contact with Quinn, a man from her past, but Woody, another man who is also
interested in Carly, proving how seductive Grand Turk can be for a single woman
who has caught the eyes of two men.
One woman and her choice of two men on a steamy island
paradise leads to some shocking yet fun times. The question remains though,
does Carly end up with both men or does she only pick one to ride off in the
sunset with? To find that out, you’ll have to read Island Pleasures.

Sounds terrific! I love the One Night Stand books and it's great to get a glimpse of how your story developed.
