Welcome to Revenge in the Highlands where Gallagher asks Eileen a question in a rather unorthodox manner.
“I warned ye never to hit me again,” he snarled harshly,
holding her easily. “Ye have brought this on yourself.” He quickly unbuttoned
her riding skirts and slid them down with the thin pantaloons in one deft
swipe. It was probably improper, but they were going to be married whether she
liked it or not.
His heart jumped into his throat at the site of the pale
globes he’d uncovered but he persevered in his task. His hand trembled slightly
as it passed over the silky contours of those globes before lifting his right
arm high in the air.
“Ye are not going to spank me like a child! I won’t allow
it…” Her words were cut off as a hard slap exploded against her bare backside,
sounding like a pistol shot in the enclosed garden walls. “Ye bastard,” she
yelped as she tried to tuck her bottom in, expecting another one. It came, just
as merciless as the first, and then another and another. “Let me up,” she
demanded, the sharp chastisement resounding in her ears and searing into her
unwilling flesh.
“And this is for calling me a bastard. I had a father,
however, lacking he might have been.” Gallagher landed several more painful
slaps on the wiggling cheeks he held over his lap and then hauled her upright,
his mind’s eye memorizing the site of those milky buttocks with his red
handprints. He was far from unaffected by the sight and a certain part of his
anatomy was becoming painfully rigid.
Eileen scrambled away from him, her eyes spitting sparks
of resentment and fury. “I’ll have your head for this,” she snapped hoarsely, holding
tears at bay as she quickly adjusted her clothing. Her chest was heaving with
the exertion of fighting and she shook her small fist impotently at him.
“I think not,” he replied, watching her very carefully.
“And if ye hit me again, I’ll blister that pretty arse until ye can’t sit for a
week. Is that clear?”
She glowered scornfully at him, refusing to answer and
ignored the desire to clutch her bottom and rub the sting away. No one had ever
dared to treat her in this humiliating fashion, not even Donald. Morg had
spanked her once. She’d only been ten at the time and had deserved it for
throwing rocks at him. That was a long time ago and she was not a child
anymore. “I hate ye,” she hissed sullenly, her bottom lip trembling. “How dare
ye treat me like a child?”
“You’ll find I dare quite a lot,” he replied mockingly.
“Now are ye going to marry me or not?”
Blurb:
Morgan MacAlister and his wife, Kat, return to the
Highlands to reclaim Morgan's heritage, only to find that the sister he left
behind is waging a war of vengeance on their traitorous half-brother, Canton.
Eileen is no longer the innocent young girl he remembers.
Gallagher Glencairn has returned with Morgan to reclaim
his own inheritance and finds that the golden-haired lass with the beautiful
haunted eyes now rules his clan. Gallagher is determined he'll take his clan
back any way he can. He gives Eileen two choices: she can agree to wed him, or
he will wage war against her and take his inheritance back.
Eileen is tough on the outside but harbors a terrible
secret within – a secret of pain, betrayal, and a fierce desire for revenge.

About the Author:
I’m a sweet romance writer with some hanky spanky play
added in. I like to write about strong alpha males who don’t mind taking their
ladies in hand when they need it and who want to share the special bond that
spanking can bring between a couple. My stories are mostly basic simple
discipline in a romantic setting with very protective men. Cowboys, pirates,
business suits, you name it, they are all sexy when they are dominant and I
love to write their stories. I’ve been writing on and off for around fifteen
years now and I still love it. You can find me in middle america, cowboy and
ranching country, with my husband and a wonderful family of children and
grandchildren around me. I hope you enjoy my adventures as much as I enjoy
creating them for you. Brandy
