Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

At fifty-two, Margaret Hale has spent most of her life being needed. Now she wants to know what it feels like to be wanted.Divorced after twenty-six years of marriage, with two grown children and a life that suddenly feels far too quiet, Margaret is beginning to wonder whether desire has quietly moved on without her.Then her best friend sends her an article about The Velvet Voyage.Seven nights aboard the luxurious Aphrodite. The Mediterranean. Adults only. Women make the first move. Consent is everything. And nobody aboard owes anyone an experience.Margaret books before she can talk herself out of it.She expects embarrassment. Possibly regret. She packs far too much underwear.What she doesn't expect is Daniel, the warm and dangerously observant architect whose wife knows exactly where he is. Or Tom, the charming British photographer who seems uncomplicated until he isn't. She certainly doesn't expect Sofia, Daniel's wife, to become one of the people who challenges everything Margaret thought she understood about jealousy, marriage and freedom.Between sunset cocktails, Mediterranean ports and a series of encounters that are sometimes sensual, sometimes awkward and frequently very funny, Margaret begins to realize that being desired was never quite the problem.Knowing what she desires is another matter entirely.Witty, warm and deliciously grown-up, Margaret Makes the First Move is a sensual contemporary dramedy about divorce, desire, ageing, friendship and the complicated freedom of learning to choose for yourself.She came aboard to be wanted. She hadn't planned on wanting.Book One of The Velvet Voyage - seven women, seven nights, one voyage experienced seven very different ways.
