Lydia's Penance

by Golden Angel

Overview

When her home situation becomes unlivable, Lydia hopes to escape through a marriage and her qualifications for her new husband are not long. She's not looking for love, passion, or even fidelity but just a man who won't abuse her. When she overhears the Duke of Manchester declare to his brother that he doesn't care who he weds, it seems like her prayers are answered. The Duke is powerful enough to protect her, has a reputation as a good and honorable man, and doesn't care who he marries. Unfortunately she's a too-old bluestocking with nothing to tempt a duke into wedding her, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

When Isaac finds himself trapped into marriage with a grey-eyed beauty who used underhanded and dishonorable means to secure his hand, at first he's not quite sure what to think. His new wife is a study in contradictions and, even worse, she's keeping secrets. His carefully controlled world is making less and less sense, and his duchess is spending more time over his lap - in a distinctly un-fun manner - than he would like.

Lydia wasn't looking for love, but the more she comes to know her husband, the more her own feelings grow for him.

Isaac could never trust a woman who trapped him, but what if she had good reasons for doing so? What if, despite her secrets, he fell in love with her?

This book contains a trapped alpha male, a distressed and desperate young lady, and quite a few spankings. This particular story includes spankings, cropping, domination and submission, anal play and sex, and the creative use of ginger. Heat level - incendiary.

About the Author

I have been writing, on and off, for Literotica.com as "goldeniangel" for years, but have begun publishing on Amazon, Smashwords and for the Nook as well.

Two of my favorite eBook romance-erotica writers are Cherise Sinclair and Lexi Blake. My favorite historical romance writer is probably Stephanie Laurens. I'm also extremely partial to the Darkfever series by Karen Marie Moning (Omg... Jericho Barrons please... take me now!)

While I obviously love to read romance/erotica that has some adventure / danger to it, I find that when I write I prefer to focus more on the relationships and having them develop the way they would in the real world. Yeah, sometimes there's a little fantasy involved, but mostly I want to play with the interactions between people because I think there's enough drama in romance without adding in some kind of life threatening danger and/or bad guy. It's really hard to do that well, although the authors I mentioned in the previous paragraph handle it with panache. One day I'll write something with a bad guy and some adventure, but for now I'm really enjoying just writing about relationships as they might actually happen in a normal, day to day life with all the drama, conflict and issues that come along with that.

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoy the stories... and don't forget, the best thing you can do in return for any author is to leave them feedback!
