In the beautiful Pacific Northwest,
three feisty women are living happy lives of financial independence and social
autonomy.
None of them are aware of the storms
gathering on the edges of their orderly worlds, about to challenge everything
they thought they wanted from life.
The winds of change arrive in the
shape of three sexy alpha men.
These men shun political correctness
as they seek to challenge, conquer, protect, and possess the strong gorgeous
women who intimidate mere mortals.
Seeing Ronnie:
[Del catches Ronnie snooping at the
house where they are attending the engagement party]
“Let’s
put it this way, you can take a spanking and we’ll draw a line under this
incident.” Del stepped closer to her. “Or I can march you downstairs, past all
the guests, and we’ll show Simon how I just found you and what you had in your
hand.”
Ronnie
pictured all the gathered dignitaries: people of wealth and influence from all
walks of life. Politicians, business people, artists, dancers, writers,
musicians, all milling around downstairs. Everyone who was anyone for a hundred
miles was at this party.
Her
face burned at the thought of the public humiliation. She’d be ridiculed for
months to come.
“Okay
I’ll take the stupid spanking—on one condition.”
“Which
is?”
“You
can’t tell a soul.” Her voice came out wheedling, but his expression didn’t
change. In the midst of her anger and bluster, another sensation simmered, a
strange, tangled response to his threat, to the way he stood in front of her,
his face stony and resolute.
Moistness
dampened her panties and her nipples tightened.
Del
seated himself at the end of the bed. “That’s fair enough. For now. If you
behave for the rest of the day, you have my word that this will stay between
the two of us. Now take off your hat, lift your skirt, and lie across my knees.
You may leave your panties on. This time.”
“This
time?” she snorted. “Like you really think this is ever going to happen again?”
Ronnie’s face was so hot she was sure it would combust.
“The
longer it takes you to present yourself, the worse this is going to be.” Del’s
voice dropped to an ominous level.
She
glanced around the room to make sure no one could see or hear what was about to
take place. Without asking Del, she darted over to the French doors leading to
the upstairs balcony and closed them, shutting out the murmur of laughter and
conversation drifting up from the lawn below. She hoped fervently that she had also
cut off any noise from the bedroom travelling the other way.
When
she got back to where Del sat, her mouth dry and palms sweating, she fumbled
her hat off and placed it on the chair by the fireplace. Her long red hair fell
across her face, partly shielding the embarrassed blush coloring her cheeks.
“I’ve
never been spanked before,” she said in a mouse-like voice and hated herself
for her timidity. She stood before him, staring at her feet.
“Then
you’re overdue, aren’t you?” Del took her hands in his. He brought one then the
other to his lips before looking up at her and speaking again. “This will hurt
but it won’t be anything you can’t bear. If it really gets to be too much,
simply say safeword and I will stop. Then we will have to find another
way for you to pay for your misbehavior. I think you’ll find that a spanking is
the fastest and easiest way to atone. Do you agree?”
Ronnie
nodded, biting her lip.

Seeing Ronnie:
Aloof and beautiful, society blogger
Ronnie Flynn only agrees to go out with Del Franklin because he has an
invitation to the biggest social event of the year. But it means spending a
weekend with him on gorgeous Seguro Island. Before that weekend is over, Ronnie
is in deeper than she ever imagined possible. Enthralled by her beauty and
intelligence but less impressed with her snark, Del decides the only thing she
needs to make her a good partner is a lesson in manners. That’s a lesson he’s happy
to deliver, as often as she needs it.
Holding Cynthia:
Cynthia is about to move to the West Coast to be closer her daughter. As
her plane touches down in her new city, she steels herself for the new life
ahead. When she finds Antony, someone she thinks of as a dear friend, waiting
at the arrivals gate, a wave of gratitude and desire floods through her.
She is tired and aching beyond all memory, so Antony takes charge. Very
quickly, he realizes there is something wrong, very wrong, with Cynthia’s health.
He insists that she see a doctor.
She says he is overprotective. He agrees. He is also determined to look
after her if she won’t look after herself. A trip over his knee shakes Cynthia
to the core. In spite of herself she likes – she wants – this loving
correction.
Is Antony too much, too soon, or is he just what the doctor ordered?
Trusting Ingrid:
Ingrid
Nickel doesn’t want to go into rehab. Again. She tried it once but it didn’t
work.
When she
meets Lachlan Morrison, the connection is electric. She sees a handsome man,
directing and challenging, who won’t be intimidated by a powerful woman like
her. He sees a woman whose bluster and sarcasm is a cover for something deep
inside her that is badly broken.
The daughter
of a grifter, Ingrid has grown up street-wise and lawless. Lachlan has rescued
more than one creature whose bark was worse than its bite.
Will his
stern, loving magic work on Ingrid?

About the Author:
I’m in love
with love. My romance stories feature strong, self-reliant women who challenge
the powerful men who love them.
My books are
set in the Pacific Northwest, a part of the world I know well and love deeply.
I’ve lived
all over Canada, but the best decision of my life was when I moved to Australia
to marry my leading man. After many years there, we moved back to the Pacific
Northwest. We now live in a leafy neighborhood close to the sea.
My passions
are reading and writing. I also love hiking, beachcombing, and an occasional
night of dancing.
