Upon being discovered by Aldéric, the castle’s stable master, Aimée does her best to explain her presence. But after catching her in a lie, Aldéric scolds Aimée and, to her great shame, chastises her firmly. Yet Aldéric’s gentleness after her punishment surprises Aimée, and she cannot help enjoying his attention and wondering why it is that this stable master treats her with a kindness Geoffrey has never shown.

But the fortress is a dangerous place, and soon Aimée falls into the hands of a man who knows nothing of gentleness. Can Aldéric save Aimée from torment in the dungeons, and if he does come to her rescue, will he be able to forgive her when he discovers the truth about her presence at the castle?

Sylvia’s Surrender

Five years ago, Jake Hastings threatened to spank Sylvia Hawthorne for misbehavior at the local bookstore, and it changed her life forever. Intrigued—not to mention powerfully aroused—by such brazen dominance from a stranger, Sylvia was more than happy to give herself to Jake that night. Upon discovering later that their passionate encounter left her pregnant, she made the fateful choice to keep her situation a secret from Jake, deciding instead to raise the child on her own. But when her now-five-year-old son is diagnosed with a rare disease and needs a bone marrow transplant, Sylvia is left with no choice but to swallow her pride and face Jake again.

She is prepared for almost any reaction from Jake… at least any reaction other than for him to step back into her life, ready to love and care for not only their son but her as well. To her shock, Sylvia soon learns that, in Jake’s book, taking care of a woman also means taking her over his knee for a long, hard, bare-bottom spanking when he believes it necessary. Yet despite his firm discipline, Sylvia soon finds herself falling for Jake in a way she never gave herself the chance to before. But will the same mistrust that kept them apart for five years ultimately destroy their newfound romance, or can Sylvia overcome her fears and surrender her heart to Jake?

Kidnapped and Claimed

When her husband’s repeated infidelities and drunken insults become too much to bear, Lady Cecily flees from his estate, intending to seek refuge with her family in the castle where she grew up. But things quickly go from bad to worse, and she is kidnapped from the castle stables only moments after her arrival.

Unmoved by her abductor’s warnings of ruin about to befall her childhood home and his claim that he took her only to keep her safe, Cecily resists him every step of the way, until at last he spanks her long and hard. Yet in spite of her circumstances, as the days pass it becomes clear to Cecily that her captor cares for her in a way her husband never did. Could she really be falling in love with a brute who carried her off against her will?

Her Cowboy Daddy

Though she does her best to be happy as a small town waitress, nineteen-year-old Scarlett can’t help longing for something different in her life. To her surprise, that something different turns out to be a handsome cowboy named Colton, in town for the bull-riding event in a local rodeo.

Scarlett’s introduction to Colton is an embarrassing one—he spanks her soundly after a careless attempt to pet a rodeo horse almost gets her hurt—but despite the shameful punishment, his smooth drawl and old-fashioned manners leave her heart racing and her body aching for more of his touch. Lunch together the next day quickly turns into a date, and when Colton tells her that a firm daddy is exactly what she needs, she finds herself agreeing to try being his little girl.

But when Colton discovers that Scarlett has been lying to him and pretending to be sick to avoid telling him the truth about a former boyfriend’s threatening behavior, he decides to make sure she learns to be truthful with her daddy in the future. After taking her temperature the way naughty little girls have it taken, he punishes her bottom thoroughly, both inside and out, leaving her blushing crimson and promising never to lie to him again.

Scarlett soon realizes that she is more in love with Colton than she ever dreamed possible, but when her ex’s behavior becomes even more alarming will her cowboy daddy act quickly enough to protect his little girl?

Kept by Her Cowboy Daddy

Nineteen-year-old Scarlett’s life in her daddy’s gentle, loving care is pretty close to perfect as far as she is concerned. Even when Colton spanks her bare bottom soundly for hiding traffic tickets, she knows that in the end he’ll take her in his arms and kiss all her tears away, and she’ll be his good girl again.

When Colton tells her he needs to travel for rodeo business and that he’s trusting her to be a big girl and stay home alone, Scarlett can’t wait to watch chick flicks and eat too much popcorn while holding down the fort. But then her two friends from college talk her into hosting a huge house party—with beer and boys and loud music—and she hesitantly agrees.

After Colton discovers what Scarlett has been up to, he sends a trusted friend to the house to deal with her naughty behavior in his absence. Before she knows it Scarlett is getting the spanking of her life, with more intimate, embarrassing punishments to follow, and she is soon feeling like a very sorry little girl indeed.

Upon coming home, Colton sets out to make sure that Scarlett never lies to him again, but he also makes sure his little girl knows that her daddy loves her more than she can possibly imagine, and though her punishment leaves her bottom sore both inside and out, Colton’s firm but loving discipline also leaves Scarlett feeling happier than ever to be kept by her cowboy daddy.
