With her castle under siege and her enemies on the verge of battering down the gates, Lady Camilla’s situation is desperate. But when an infamous mercenary named Sir Balen unexpectedly rides to her rescue, she soon finds herself in an entirely different kind of trouble. Though the mere sight of the devilishly handsome brute sets her heart racing, Balen’s assumption of the position and duties of her late husband incenses Camilla, especially because those duties seem to include spanking her bare bottom whenever he feels it necessary. Yet despite her blushing cheeks and burning backside, Balen’s bold dominance leaves Camilla yearning for him to take her hard and thoroughly. Can she swallow her pride and propose the marriage she knows would be best for all involved, or will her stubbornness lead to disaster? Publisher’s Note: Mercenary is an erotic romance novella that includes spankings, sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. This book is also available as part of a two-book collection entitled Lords and Ladies: Two Medieval Spanking Novellas, which was voted Best Historical Spanking Romance of 2013 by Spanking Romance Reviews!
