Her Knight's Promise

Alyna has always done her best to earn the respect of Sir Walter, the soldier who all but raised her, and her skill in battle stands as proof of her dedication. But when she comes of age and he seeks to marry her to his trusted friend Sir Jurian, she resists his efforts. As a compromise, Jurian asks Alyna to give him a week to win her love, and she grudgingly agrees.

Jurian proves his worth soon enough, riding swiftly to her aid when she is captured by outlaws during a trip to a nearby town. Much to Alyna’s chagrin, however, when her suitor discovers that she has disobeyed him and placed herself in danger once again mere hours after her rescue, he puts her over his knee and spanks her soundly. Yet despite her sore bottom, when the battle-hardened knight takes her in his arms and kisses her, Alyna finds herself longing to be his.

But as Alyna quickly learns, being a wife has its difficulties—cooking and running a household, among others—and her new husband insists on her obedience, correcting her with a firm hand applied to her bare bottom when he feels it necessary. Though Jurian shows his love for her in many ways, Alyna chafes at the loss of her independence. Will her husband keep his word and give her the freedom he promised when he courted her? Can she remain the untamed woman she has always been, even as she strives to find her place as his loyal wife?
