Can a spoiled Southern belle find romance on the high seas with a strict British barrister?
Brittany Carter has thrown caution to the wind. Hoping for a wild romance, she has booked herself on a luxury South Seas cruise.
The first day on board she meets a gorgeous Brit named Duncan Rhys-Davies, but after several frustrating days with no sightings, she sneaks into his cabin to learn more about him, only to discover an erotic spanking novel.
To her horror, he walks in!
Duncan Rhys-Davies is first surprised, then titillated, to find the beautiful young woman holding his saucy book. Though an eminent British barrister, he is also an author of discipline-laced romance novels under the name, A.S. Cane.
He offers her the obvious choice. Accept punishment or he'll notify the ship's security office. Harboring wicked fantasies for several years she happily accepts a trip over his knee, but after he reddens her bottom and sends her on her way, she can't get him out of her head. She has fallen hard for the strict Englishman
Their romance blossoms, but there is another on board who finds the fiery, modern-day Scarlet O'Hara appealing. Though Duncan is drawn to the devilish diva, he has no hold on her and he's a confirmed bachelor, or is he...?

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
A fun-filled novella that will bring two strangers together on a South Seas cruise will start this series off that will continue into another story. Both are in first class and will meet as they are escorted to their cabins, just doors apart.
Brittany Carter is an American girl from a small town. She has had wealth from her father, but never the attention she needed. She is hoping for a cruise fling—and when she spots Duncan Rhys-Davies, she wants him.
“There is no relationship! This is a shipboard fling.”
The story is the journey of two strangers and their relationship that develops during the cruise. From the naughty antics of Brittany to the discipline dispensed by Duncan. Learning more about each other, having plenty of angst, to exploring more of a D/s lifestyle is an eye-opening for Brittany. But this is only a cruise—and what happens when feelings get involved? Are they willing to explore this further when they get back on land?
The story has plenty of angst, discipline and some BDSM scenes. Not everything is cut and dry with them, and Duncan will have to become a knight rescuing this bratty damsel when she gets in a snit. The story was previously part of the Illicit boxed set and has been expanded to the story it is now. This is a saga and will continue in the next book, Wet: A London Steamy Holiday that will be out April 17th.

SEXY, STEAMY, & OH, SO NAUGHTY!
Beautiful Brittany Carter wants some romance in her life. In order to escape her routine, boring life she throws caution to the wind and books a first class stateroom on a cruise ship, sailing from Hawaii to Tahiti. As she is boarding the ship, so is Duncan Ryes-Davies, a James Bond look-alike. When the steward escorts them both to their suites they experience a mutual and spontaneous attraction, and Brittany realizes Duncan is British as well as sinfully good-looking. She sets her sights on him, hoping he'll be her exciting romance for the cruise. But he's elusive. Try as she might, she can’t “happen” to run into him anywhere, at any time. When a couple of days pass and there is still no sign of him, Beautiful Brittany becomes Bratty Brittany and comes up with an idea to make things happen. They do, and fast, but will Brittany regret her devious manipulation when she finds out that Duncan is a Dominant? Again, as always, this author provides amazing characters, situations that are spine tingling, sensuous , naughty, sexy and suspenseful. The cherry on top? Consequences for actions that we love reading about so very much. This is a must read adventure. I will read it again and add it to my collection of “The Best of the Best” in my library. I can’t wait for Wet 2 to see what happens next.

Steamy Cruise
This was a cute story of a quick and dirty shipboard romance. Or was it? I think it is, instead, the beginning to a real romance! In spite of being fairly quick, there is a lot of insight into the characters’ personalities and it’s a satisfying story. I’m looking forward to more with these characters!

Steamy read.
Duncan is a dom and Brittany is a feisty female that needs to be taken in hand. Will their cruise ship fling turn into something more or will it end as quick as it started? You will have to read Wet 2 to find out.
