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.
The Highlander’s Maiden
After the death of their father, Colleen O’Shea and her sister Kaitlyn are dragged from their home just in time to escape the invading English. Living in hiding chafes at Colleen, however, and when a foolish decision nearly leads to her capture, she must leave her native Ireland in the company of an old family friend. Then another naïve choice on her part forces her to flee for her life once again, this time all alone in the hard, unfamiliar world of the Scottish Highlands.
It is there, lost and desperate, that Colleen is found by Duncan MacGregor, carried back to the village of this tall, handsome highlander, and given a place to stay. As Colleen starts to adjust to her new life, her defiant nature puts her in constant conflict with Duncan, who has declared himself her guardian. To Colleen’s horror, Duncan is more than prepared to take her over his knee for firm chastisement as often as he feels it is necessary, and she discovers that more serious misbehavior will earn her a much more thorough, embarrassing punishment than just a spanking. Nonetheless, Colleen finds that her feelings for Duncan are growing deeper every day, and she longs for him to claim her as his woman and his wife.
Duncan has been enamored with Colleen since he first set eyes upon her. Each time he is forced to discipline her he can barely contain his desire to take her and take her hard, but he will not bring a woman to his bed without first making her his wife. When a rival lays claim to her, though, he is forced to act quickly, and he soon finds himself the husband of a beautiful, feisty woman—one who he knows will need both his love and guidance and also quite frequently his firm hand applied to her bare bottom.
Melissa’s Punishment Examination
Faking sick and skipping work yet again for a trip to the beach seemed like a good idea at the time, but when Melissa’s deception is discovered the beautiful twenty-two year old finds herself in way over her head. Her boss, Dr. Ben Williams, informs her that if she wants to keep her job as a receptionist at his private medical practice then her only option is to submit to a punishment exam.
Melissa is warned that Dr. Williams’ wife Barbara, herself a nurse, will be assisting him and this will be much more than just a routine checkup. Aside from being stripped bare for an extremely intimate and deeply embarrassing examination, Melissa must also endure a thorough cleansing and a long, hard, bare bottom spanking. Most shameful of all, she will have to please her employers in any way they demand. Can Melissa accept her punishment, or will she choose to walk away and leave her job behind?
