What happens
when a rancher searching for sweet, virginal bride meets a hotheaded, unwed
mother? Passionate romance and spankings, of course!
About Handing Susannah
Rancher Adam Harrington has long yearned to
marry a diligent, virginal bride with a sweet disposition. When he reads a
young woman’s unusual advertisement requesting a mail-order cowboy as her
groom, he thinks they might be a good match. He writes the woman a letter
saying just that, and she pens a favorable response, accepting him as her
future husband. Adam packs up his belongings and heads west to a bright new
future.
When Susannah Smith’s father bequeathed his
ranch to her, it was under one condition: She must be married. For Virginia
City’s fallen woman, finding a man to marry is no easy feat. The men in town
who seek to court the hot-tempered, unwed mother are sluggards and drunks, not
the kind of men capable of running a ranch. Desperate to find a suitable
husband or else lose everything, she expands her search by listing an ad in the
paper.
When the two meet, Adam’s commanding
presence makes a startling but good impression on Susannah. The attraction
between them is undeniable, but that is soon followed by wariness. Susannah had
planned to marry a man who would do her bidding, not take over everything. It’s
her ranch, after all! Equally
befuddled, Adam thought he’d be marrying a woman who knows her place, not a
temperamental brat who could benefit from some time over his knee.
Susannah feels outraged by Adam’s
authoritative ways, but his dominant handling in the bedroom leaves her
trembling with desire. Will she learn to accept his firm leadership and
expectations? And will Adam grow to love the woman who differs so drastically
from the kind of wife he thought he wanted?
Warning: Handling Susannah
is an historical western romance containing sexual scenes and domestic
discipline, including punishment spanking. If these themes offend you, please
don’t buy this book.
Excerpt:
“Come here and lie over my lap for our
discussion, Susannah.”
She quirked her head to the side, confused.
It was a strange way to ask her to sit on his lap. The prospect of it delighted
her though. She’d already imagined being wrapped up in his arms while supported
by his strong legs. She walked toward him without hesitation, noticing the
censure in his gaze deepen as she grew nearer. But she did not allow his stern
expression to discourage her. She felt hopeful that he would soon forgive her
deception. After all, she had chosen him and she was beautiful. He didn’t yet
know about her reputation or her son, so he couldn’t judge her for those things
yet. One step at a time.
When she reached where he was sitting, she
sat down on his lap quite provocatively and draped her arms around his neck,
causing her bosom to be positioned centimeters from his face. He was to be her
husband, and she had no desire to be coy with him. She drew a deep breath that
raised her breasts to touch his chin and stared dolefully into his eyes,
sincerely believing that her feminine wiles would cause the discussion to be
less severe, if not forgotten altogether.
He inhaled sharply and closed his eyes for
a moment, showing her that he was not unaffected by the close proximity of her
body, but when he opened them, they were gleaming with disapproval. She saw
lust there, too, but his jaw was set in determination not to allow it to sway
him from the “discussion.”
“I said to lie over my lap, woman, not sit on it. You’re a peck and a half of
trouble, aren’t you?” He pushed her off, took hold of her arm, and bent her
over his knees face down. It happened so fast that it took a moment for her
understanding to catch up with his actions. By the time she realized he
intended to spank her, he’d tossed up her pretty pink skirt and petticoat.
Susannah’s legs flailed in the air and her palms touched the floor. For a
moment she felt like she was going to fall, but his large left hand curled
firmly around her side and held her in place.
“Mr. Harrington!” she cried, squirming.
“Surely you don’t intend to…” She couldn’t even say the word. Her face felt hot
as her blood drained down to it and she could hear her heartbeat pumping in her
ears.
“…spank you?” he finished.
