Welcome back to Book Hooks, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with some tantalizing tidbits in our books.

My submission for this week's Book Hooks is from my 5th novel, Acting Lessons.

He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs in chapter six, Peter Thorton has just finished giving his wife, Kate, a relatively mild spanking for defying his instructions, and is preparing to make love to her for the first time in over two years.  Peter adores Kate, but he's not above teasing her a little before giving her what she wants and needs as he gently nibbles her into a writhing mass of desire.  However, given her injured knee, he also wants to ensure nothing they do aggravates her torn meniscus, so he gently restrains her when she tries to counter-thrust against his pleasuring. Since they haven't been together for nearly six months, Peter enters Kate slowly to give her body time to adjust.  However, passion soon claims them and when Peter climaxes, Kate realizes they didn't use protection. But what stuns her most is Peter's confession that he didn't sleep with anyone else during their six month separation. Peter, however, doesn't want to get into a conversation over the way Kate jumped to conclusions over the kiss she witnessed, so he tells her they'll discuss the issue another day.

            She considered his proposal.  Perhaps a fresh beginning would allow them to put aside the past, except….  "Won't we have to get married again?"

            He frowned for a moment, then shook his head.  "As of right now, we are separated, but still married.  So, unless you want us to repeat our vows, it's not necessary."

            She sat up.  "What do you mean?  I have legal paperwork in a file at the bank with both our signatures.  As of Saturday, our divorce is final.  Right?"

            His brows drew even closer together.  "This is only Thursday.

            "I realize that!" she snapped back.  "But the current day of the week doesn't alter the dissolution of our marriage, does it?"

            "No.  The fact we were legally separated this morning doesn't change a thing about what happens Saturday.  However, from the way you're glowering at me, I suspect you didn't read the fine print on the document you signed, did you?"

Peter is finally back with Kate, though their issues are far from resolved. Even so, he wants to do whatever it takes to get their marriage back on track.
