A bossy
rancher with a twitchy palm. A spoiled, undisciplined young woman.
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
“Hold on to the legs of the bench,” he instructed, his voice
hard as steel.
She wrapped a hand around each of the bench’s legs and
squeezed her eyes shut as he bared her bottom for punishment. It felt
humiliating. Though they were the only people in the barn, she felt like the
horses and milk cows were watching her as entertainment. First, he lifted each
skirt and positioned the fabric on her back. With a tug at the ribbon of her
drawers, they loosened around her. His hand slid under her belly and lifted her
hips up briefly so that he could slide the material down her legs. His touch on
her stomach was gentle and reminded her of how he touched her when they made
love. A tickle of strange pleasure intermingled with her growing anxiety. Her
drawers remained on her legs, just above her knees, which somehow made her feel
even more vulnerable and naughty.
The minute that followed was the longest of her life. Cool
air wafted over her bare skin, and she could feel her thighs shaking. Adam
retrieved a strip of leather used to fasten the stirrup to his saddle. The
strap was the length of her forearm after he doubled it.
He dropped the leather over her quivering cheeks, letting
the implement of punishment reside there while he spoke. “You’re getting
fifteen licks. They’re going to hurt, and you’re not to move from this position
until you feel every last one. Do you understand?”
“Oh, Adam, you’re scaring me,” she cried, hating how harsh
he sounded. No sign of his love for her could be detected in his voice, and it
made her feel miserable.
A lick of fire across her cheeks made her gasp with alarm.
It hurt far worse than she ever could have imagined.
“Do you understand?” he repeated with a raised voice.
“Yes!”
“If you move from this position, I will repeat the lick. Is
that also understood?”
She sniffled. “Yes, sir.”
He crouched down, twined his fingers in her hair, and lifted
her head so he could make eye contact. “You’re being punished. You should be a
little afraid of punishment because it hurts, but I won’t be cruel.”
“I know,” she sniffled. “I’m sorry, I deserve it.”
“Yes, you do,” he agreed. “If you had told me how you felt
instead of throwing a tantrum and storming away, we wouldn’t be here.” He stood
to his full height. Without further delay, the punishment proceeded.
By the time the fifth brand of pain had tattooed her bottom,
she was begging him to stop. “Please, I can’t take anymore! I will never behave
like that again.”
“I hope not,” he said, and snapped the leather across her bottom again.
