The Lord's Spanked Reluctant Bride: Victorian Erotic Discipline Ownership Romance

Lord James Underwood commands the halls of Underwood Hall, his authority masking a fear of abandonment that only surrendered trust can ease. Royal decree binds him to Grace, whose guarded heart clashes with the pull of his hand and the discipline it promises.

In the quiet study, his palm finds the curve above her spine, the sealed letter beneath them as the first strike waits in the charged silence. She leans closer, tracing the faint scar at his collarbone, caught between resistance and the security she craves.

The rival's schemes threaten their validation, and the December deadline presses near. Can she yield to the ownership that both protects and claims her, before hidden wounds destroy what they have begun to build?
