Today Maggie Ryan is visiting to share an excerpt from Lilly Blossoms, Book Three in her Lessons in Submission series.
He looked down
when he felt her head lift from his chest. "I'll try to explain but first
I must ask you to make me a promise."
"All
right."
"No, don't
agree so quickly. What I'm about to share with you is to remain between the two
of us. This is the sort of promise that, if broken, would not only destroy the
trust I have in you, but might have the power to hurt others. People like
Rachel and more that you don't even know." He watched as her nose crinkled
and without thought moved his hand to pat against her backside. "And,
little one, if that promise is broken, I would find it necessary to turn you
over my lap and give you a lesson."
Her eyes
widened, their green growing a bit darker. "A very tangible lesson?"
"Yes. I
assure you that by the time I let you up, your little bottom would be burning
and you'd find it very uncomfortable to sit down." He waited, ready for
her to jump up and tell him to go to hell but praying that she would remain
exactly where she was. His heart filled when she nodded.
"I
understand, and I promise not to speak of anything we discuss. I swear
it."
He patted her
bottom again, not to give her a warning, but because the feel of her soft
globes against his palm just felt right. "I believe you. Rachel is
actually one of Miss Summers's students."
"Why would
she go to school? I mean, yes, she does look very young but… well, when that
man untied her bloomers… um, I saw…" He adored the flush that suffused her
cheeks and the fact that she couldn't quite seem to get her words out.
"You are
right. She is actually a year older than you." He saw her disbelief and
chuckled. "Yes, I assure you she is. I attended her birthday party only a
few months ago. As I already told you, the man you saw is not her father, but
is her papa—again, by choice. Rachel, is also not my niece by blood, but one by
choice. The students here are all of legal age and are all here by choice. Some
have agreed to attend at the behest of their fiancé, or even a few attend
though they are already wed. And occasionally, a woman will find her way to
this school on her own, hoping to find the sort of man who is seeking the type
of woman they desire to be."
"What do
they desire?"
"Submission."
He paused again, allowing her time to consider his answer, knowing it was a
subject few people ever even considered.
Blurb:
Beauty isn't perfection—it is the ability to see beyond the
flaws.
Victorian England is not kind to those born without
privilege, and yet Lillian Lancaster has made a home for herself and a scrawny
feral cat. Lilly is happiest working in the gardens, knowing she can never
match their beauty. She is one of the flower-girls on the streets selling the
bouquets she makes with love for mere pennies. When her very livelihood is
threatened by what was intended as a kindness, she assuages her conscience by
crawling through the hedge and taking only what she needs to survive. On the
day her presence is threatened to be discovered, she takes refuge in an oak
tree and witnesses a scene that will change her life.
The moment Phillip Carrington sees Lilly hidden in the
foliage, he is intrigued. The moment he holds her, he is captivated. The moment
she gives him her trust, he knows he wants to spend the rest of his life
convincing her that she is the most beautiful bloom in the garden.
Will his love be enough to teach this young woman that her
past does not need to keep her trapped in fear? Will learning what happens
behind the etched-glass doors of the special school run by Miss Eleanor Summers
frighten her, or will it let her see that what she perceives as flaws are
actually to be viewed as part of the beautiful soul that lives inside her? Will
she place her trust in Lord Carrington and, with the gift of her submission,
allow him to lead her away from the darkness?
Lilly Blossoms is the third book in Maggie Ryan's
bestselling Lessons in Submission series and yet it can also be read as a stand
alone.

About the Author:
#1
International and award winning best selling author for Blushing Books. I write both contemporary erotica and
historical spanking romances. I enjoy
writing about characters that enjoy the provocative D/S lifestyle of today’s
times as well as taking a step back into the past to write stories that take
place in the Victorian era with age-play as a theme.
I live in the
great Lone Star state with my wonderful husband. I have always loved reading. Growing up in a family with four children, it
was difficult finding a place to be alone.
I was probably one of the squeakiest clean girls on the planet as I
would spend hours in the tub so I could read without being bothered. It wasn’t long before I began to make up my
own endings to the books I was reading.
From there, it just seemed natural to begin writing my own stories.
I never try to
restrict myself to any one genre because there are just too many delicious
possibilities out there and inside my head.
I admit to being somewhat of a romantic though as my stories always must
have a great deal of love, passion, corporal discipline and, of course, great,
mind-blowing sex. I want my readers to
be able to see, hear, feel and know the characters that I’m creating as well as
I do when I bring them to life and transfer their stories to paper. I want my women to be strong of character but
also strong enough to know that submission given in love and trust to your
partner does not make you weaker, it makes you far stronger. I want my men to be sexy, strong, demanding
alpha males who know how to take what they want while acknowledging it is a
gift they have been blessed with by the women that have chosen to submit to
them. I want there to be no doubt that
they truly would die for the other no matter how others might view their
relationship.
