When the castle they called home is besieged and
ultimately falls, five women are captured and carried off as wives by their
foes. Will they be treated as no more than the spoils of war, or can their new
lords prove themselves worthy of the love and submission of their conquered
brides?
The Knight’s Seduction by
Renee Rose
Avowed to never give herself to a man,
Lady Daisy stands ready to fight to the death when her castle's defenses
crumble. The imposing knight Sir Barrett has other ideas, however, and to her
dismay, Daisy soon finds herself not only disarmed, but soundly spanked as
well. Sir Barrett takes her as his captive bride, but when she shows real
terror at the prospect of consummating their marriage, he offers her a bargain.
She will offer her body to him and accept the pleasurable torments he inflicts,
but he will not claim her fully until she aches for it so badly she begs him.
Certain she will do no such thing, Daisy agrees, but can she resist the
knight's seduction?
She
stood, wringing her hands as he shut the door. “Forgive me, Barrett—sir...my
lord,” she tried again.
She
saw a glimmer of a smile on his lips and her heart picked up speed. He pointed
to the bed. “Bend over and lift your skirts.”
She
walked, weak-kneed to the bed and folded her torso over the feather mattress.
She could not figure out any way to lift her skirts with her wrists tied, but
she made a show of attempting it so he would not think her disobedient.
“I’ll
get them,” he said behind her.
She
twisted to look over her shoulder and saw he carried a riding crop. Leaping
back to her feet, she whirled. “Is-is that truly necessary? I mean, could you
not bend me over your lap and use your hand as you did before?”
He
tapped the crop in his palm. “I would love to, but it takes quite a bit more
time to make an impression that way, and my brother needs me outside today.”
She
shivered. I would love to. He
probably did love spanking her. And yet he was not a cruel man. What could it
mean?
He
turned her and pushed her upper back down to lay on the bed, throwing her
skirts up over her head. “Eight strokes for biting. You will count each one.”
Before she had a chance to draw a breath, he delivered the first searing
stroke.
She
squealed and stood on her tiptoes, squeezing her bottom cheeks together,
tucking her tail like a naughty dog.
“I
asked you to count them,” he reminded her.
“One,”
she gasped.
He
landed another one. “One, sir,” he
corrected.
“One,
sir, two, sir,” she said quickly, hoping he hadn’t meant for her to repeat
number one.
He
chuckled. “I’ll let you get away with that just this once.” He brought the crop
down again.
She
gasped. A terrible burn from the first welt had begun to set in, even as the
shock of the third ricocheted through her body. “Three, sir,” she managed.
“Good
girl,” he murmured, though she did not know what merited the praise.
He
sliced the crop through the air three times quickly, making her clamp her mouth
closed on a scream. Without thinking, she started to scramble away, onto the
bed.
“Daisy,”
he said, keeping his voice low. “Back in position.”
“Four,
five and six, sir,” she said as soon as she had caught her breath. Reluctantly,
she pushed her legs back down to present her bottom for his chastisement. “I’m
sorry,” she whispered.
“We’re
almost finished,” he said, applying the cruel leather rod on a diagonal across
her buttocks.
“Seven!
Seven, sir.”
“One
more.” He caught her on the underside of her buttocks, right where cheek met
thigh.
She
lifted to her toes again, sucking in her breath. It was three long beats before
she could speak. “Eight, sir.”
“Thank
you, Daisy,” he said, his voice soft and gentle.

Commanding the Princess
by Korey Mae Johnson
As the ruler of Hohenzollern Castle
in name only, Susanna has watched helplessly for years as her power-hungry
uncle made one enemy after another for her. One enemy stands out, and the
moment she catches sight of him, Princess Susanna is certain that it will be
Gerhard of Bavaria who brings her world down around her. As his army smashes
through her gates, Susanna makes the only choice she has left. She surrenders
herself to Gerhard, hoping to win mercy for her people, though she fears it
will come at the cost of her life. But she soon learns that Gerhard has other
plans for her, plans which may end with her surrendering much more than just
her castle to him.
The Knight’s Seduction

The Widow Is Mine
by Ashe Barker
Since her husband’s untimely
passing, Lady Natalia has resigned herself to a quiet life as a young widow and
perhaps one day as a nun. But when her adopted home is conquered by the enemy,
her world is turned upside down. After he rescues her from the chaos of
Hohenzollern’s fall, Duke Stefan of Richtenholst cannot imagine allowing
Natalia to languish behind the walls of a convent. The duke takes Natalia home
as his wife, and he quickly proves himself ready to compel her obedience when
it is necessary, but can he ever truly make her his own?
Conquering Lady Claire
by Sue Lyndon
As Hohenzollern Castle falls, mayhem
unfolds around Lady Claire, and her only aim is to lead as many women and
children of the castle to safety as possible. In an odd turn of fortune, her
courageous efforts ultimately lead to her capture by none other than Lord
Galien of Minrova, the very man that her brother, a powerful duke, recently
commanded to find her and claim her as his wife. Claire’s defiance is quickly
overcome by means of a firm hand applied to her bare bottom, but Galien is not
content merely going through the motions of a political marriage. His skilled
lovemaking soon leaves his new bride begging for more, but can he conquer her
heart as well?
Kidnapped and Claimed
by Dinah McLeod
When her husband’s repeated
infidelities and drunken insults become too much to bear, Lady Cecily flees to
her childhood home at Hohenzollern, but things quickly go from bad to worse and
she is kidnapped from the castle stables only moments after her arrival. Cecily
ignores her abductor’s warnings of ruin about to befall Hohenzollern and his
claim that he took her from the castle only to keep her safe. She resists him
every step of the way, until at last he spanks her long and hard. Despite his
firm chastisement, it soon becomes clear to Cecily that her captor cares for
her in a way her husband never did. But can she forgive him for stealing her
from her home?
