Marc was born for the sea, but damn if he wasn’t also ‘born’ to be loved-up and lusted-after by a woman like Lauren. Will the passion he feels for her make him change course?

In the conclusion to this bestselling series of short stories, Lauren and Marc discover that soul-searching intimacy and fiery nights are infinitely hotter than sext. Warning: This story is also ‘hotter than’ Louisiana hot sauce, and may lead to beignet body shots. Felice Fox attributes her love of romance to an early, feverish bout with The Kissing Disease. She lives, loves and occasionally sends out naughty text messages from Los Angeles, California. Chat with her at https://www.facebook.com/FeliceFox Tweet

In the #1 bestseller IT’S JUST SEXT (The Right Kind of Wrong, #1), Lauren had the hottest weekend of her life with a younger man she met through texting. Marc was her naughty little wish come true. Now, in PERFECT SEXT (The Right Kind of Wrong, #2), his new assignment to a ship working out of the port of Long Beach will have Marc sailing back to Lauren a few weekends a month. It’s just enough time to act out the intensely erotic texts they share while he’s at sea, but will it be enough to build something real? Alone in their seaside hotel room, Marc knows how to bring out the dirty girl in Lauren, though it’s her trust he wants most. She will do almost anything with him–anything but bring him home. Felice attributes her love of romance novels to an early, feverish bout with The Kissing Disease. … Continue reading →
