Duncan smiled and kissed her softly on the back of her neck as he gazed up into the sky and nodded. “I think you’re right,” he whispered, “and as long as there’s breath in my body, I’ll always keep you safe.”
“I love you,” whispered Colleen, as Duncan lifted her in his arms and carried her to bed.
As he lay her down and climbed in bed beside her, pulling her into his arms, he whispered “I love you too”.

The Charles Smith Method
Jenny Simpson has spent her life in care homes and with foster families, and she has had more than a few run-ins with the law. After being caught yet again, she's given one final chance by the courts to turn her life around.
Things soon go badly wrong for Jenny, and she finds herself homeless on the streets of 1970s London. She encounters ex-judge Charles Smith on a bitterly cold December morning and promptly tries to pick his pocket, resulting in a quick trip over his knee and the promise of a much longer spanking later on her bare bottom. Charles does manage to keep Jenny out of jail, and he takes her into his home and sets about the task of turning her life around with strict but loving discipline.
Jenny isn’t the first young lady to whom Charles has offered his home and his kindness, however. His housekeeper Hazel, who he found on the streets just like Jenny, is initially jealous of this new young woman competing for Charles’ attention. Soon, however, Jenny and Hazel become friends, and then good friends, and then much, much more than just friends.
Even as their newfound romance blossoms, Jenny and Hazel are still subject to the firm, fatherly discipline of Charles. He is prepared to give as many long, hard, bare bottom spankings as necessary to turn both Jenny and Hazel into well-educated, respectable young ladies.
The Charles Smith Academy
The Charles Smith Academy is the second book in the Charles Smith series, which follows the relationship between Charles and Hazel and Jenny, the two young women he took in off the streets of London.
Jenny has received frequent spankings from Charles ever since he saved her from an almost certain prison sentence, but until very recently Hazel had managed to avoid discipline. Now that Hazel has discovered that being spanked, although painful and embarrassing, is not as traumatic an experience as she imagined, she finds that Charles’ firm but loving chastisement can play a much needed role in her life.
Despite their desire to behave well, however, Hazel and Jenny often stray far from the proper behavior expected of them. When Charles is pushed too far, they are shocked to discover that being spanked on the bare bottom is far from the most humiliating form of discipline he is prepared to employ.
Meanwhile Hazel and Jenny continue to explore their relationship and fall ever deeper in love, but suddenly they find their happy union in jeopardy. Is their love strong enough to conquer the problems they face or will Jenny walk away from the only two people who’ve ever loved her?
Financial Discipline
Thirty-four-year-old reporter Lindsay Jeffries is surprised to be told by her editor one day that she must go and see a local debt-management councilor, accountant George West, who is allegedly spanking his clients. Her editor also believes that Lindsay’s own debts are so bad that she might benefit from George’s advice.
Lindsay’s job for the story is to bait George into spanking her and thus get proof that he is abusing his position with his clients. At her first session Lindsay certainly gets the spanking she is looking for, but she ends up finding George’s firm methods very helpful. She’s torn between giving her editor the story he wants, which may in turn secure her the promotion she desires, and accepting George’s help, which could turn her life around.
Lindsay begins to develop strong feelings for George and begins to wonder what it would be like to have him as much more than just a mentor. But does he have similar feelings for her? How will he feel about her if he finds out her original reason for seeing him? And if she doesn’t write the story she is expected to write, will she be able to keep her job?
The Lady and the Sheriff
Nineteen-year-old Emma Bell has always wanted to travel the world before settling down, and as a result she has spurned every suitor her father has presented. He is desperate to find a suitable match for his beloved daughter—one who will treat her well, but who is well-off enough to afford the upkeep of the family estate in the English countryside.
In exasperation, he decides to take her with him on a trip to America in hopes of satisfying her desire to travel and finding her a good husband at the same time. All seems to be going perfectly after they meet Percival Woodhampton and the rich young American becomes interested in Emma.
Unfortunately, Emma’s father passes away before her wedding, and Percival soon shows himself to be anything but a gentleman. After a desperate escape from his home, she sets out on a train to see the American West as she has dreamed of doing for years. After her train is robbed by outlaws, however, Emma eventually finds her way into the care of the firm handed Bob Booker, the sheriff of Great Bend, Kansas.
Although neither of them expects it initially, their relationship grows with time until the sheriff is much more than just a strict guardian for Emma. Will they both admit their feelings for one another in time, or will Bob’s firm hand and Emma’s willful nature split them apart.
