Spare the rod; spoil the husband... Lukas Maritz never thought himself capable of cheating... until one day, in a moment of weakness, he succumbs to temptation and kisses the new intern. He feels sick with guilt, and when his wife Yolande finds out about his indiscretion, she feels hurt and betrayed. She confides her marital problems to her best friend, who makes a surprising perhaps what Lukas really needs is a spanking to pay for his poor behaviour - and Yolande is just the woman to take him in hand. But can enduring a spanking really atone for near-infidelity? Or can the newfound intimacy of submission heal their marriage?

Marilize is an author of historical romance set in Cape Town, South Africa, but writes short stories inbetween for fun. She used to comb the libraries and second-hand book sales for out-of-print copies of Afrikaans historical romance novels by authors such as Wille Martin and Ena Murray. She has always had a fascination for Cape Town history and Regency Romance, and thought to introduce the rest of the world to Regency-era Cape Town. She's tried her hand at many different occupations, including working at a riding school as riding instructor, trail guide, stable manager, saddler, and horse handler on TV shows. She's worked as freelance typist, photographic assistant, maintenance contractor's assistant, Public Relations Consultant, and Administrative Assistant. These days she is a proud member of ROSA (Romance Writers' Organization of South Africa). She lives with her husband and son in Muizenberg, Cape Town, and is currently hard at work on her next novel.
