Lady Eleanor Petersham knows exactly what she wants from her marriage - a man who will worship at her feet. Instead, her father arranges her marriage to her brother's best friend, the devastatingly handsome, authoritative, and devilishly dominant Lord Edwin Hyde.
It doesn't matter that he makes her entire body tingle when he kisses her, or brings her to heights of pleasure she's never known, or how he disciplines her when she plays nasty tricks on him - like throwing a dinner party which only includes dishes with ingredients he despises - she's not willing to give up on her version of marriage without a fight.
Pain and pleasure struggle for dominance the same way husband and wife do.
Edwin & Eleanor's story continues in the rest of the quartet... HEAs guaranteed.
The Quartet
1. Birching His Bride
2. Dealing With Discipline
3. Punishing His Ward
4. Claiming His Wife
I'm a huge fan of Victorian/Regency romances and Victorian/Regency erotica, but as I've been reading I've noticed that there are very few books that give me the romance and the domestic discipline and the hot sex all in one book. There are a few but mostly each book focuses on just the romance or just the discipline with some sexy-time thrown in. So I wanted to make my own attempt and really combine all three things. I consider this book my "test" run, because it's too long to be a novella but I'm not sure I consider it a full length book. It's my introduction for myself and for you into this world... if you like it, then hopefully you'll get the rest of the Quartet =) Eleanor and Edwin's story continues in the next book and Irene and Hugh's truly begins. I've really enjoyed writing this first book and I can't wait to continue the series, hopefully you'll enjoy reading!
