Meet the writers, readers, publishers and the male models who pose for the book covers. They all come together at a conference on board a cruise ship. Experience an insider's look at the business of romance fiction through the eyes of the huge Harlequin empire.
If you read romance, you'll delight in this celebration of the books you love. And if you're intrigued by romance, you'll get a fun--and sometimes surprising--look at who writes these books, who reads them, and why. Features exclusive interviews with New York Times bestselling authors Heather Graham (aka Shannon Drake) and Virginia Henley, as well as the grande dame of romance herself, Barbara Cartland.
