Marielle DeVane had her life planned out. Her fiancée, Evan, was everything she wanted in a man, and their marriage would be the culmination of years of fantasizing about their perfect life together. But the rich and powerful Connor Wetherby, Duke of Whitford, had other plans for her, plans that Mari found herself unexpectedly subject to when her brother's debts forced her to wed the overbearing stranger rather than her beloved. Mari was used to getting her way, and she was not one bit happy with the turn her life had taken. Con liked Mari's spirit, and he was looking forward to the challenge of taming her, surprised to find that he was already half in love with the little baggage. His dream of finding his feelings returned by his bride seemed hopeless when she proved, time and again, that her heart belonged to another. But when Evan turns up, and things spiral out of control, will Mari realize which man truly has her heart? Publisher's Disclaimer: Man and Wife is one of Carolyn Faulkner's sweet historical romances, complete with romantic sexual scenes and spankings.
Author
Carolyn was one of you as a kid, with the intriguing seeds planted in her head of the shivering thrill-thoughts that came with words like spanking, or discipline. As with you, those kinds of words and thoughts connected the heated blush of her cheeks with feelings elsewhere, which got more and more interesting the older she got. I bet you know just what I'm talking about. Like some, she started writing down these thoughts, escaping into short stories of reluctant heroes willing to take someone they love in hand when it's for her own good... and more shadowy thoughts as her imagination matured. And like some, she started sharing her writings in newsgroups once she gained some confidence. There's nothing like the perfectly-turned phrase, the handful of words that can make a feeling wash over you. And if you're reading this, then you have within you some intense feelings that most of the world doesn't understand—but Carolyn does, and she writes those passions with wondrous abandon. Her specialties are Spanking Romance and Adult Ageplay, so we've grouped the many examples of her work that way. Spanking Romance Classics are sweeping love stories which dare (in a very un-PC way) to allow their heroine to feel the special love of a strong man who will take her in hand when it's best for her. Carolyn writes very real, rich characters and stories that aren't just excuses to jump from spanking scene to spanking scene. If the timeless tango of pursuing ardor touches you, and the head-rush of Adoring Discipline intrigues you, then you'll love Carolyn's stories!
