Excerpt
He didn’t know whether he should kiss her or throttle her. “No maid? No chaperone? Then you’re up to no good again, and that lovely, rounded arse of yours is about to pay for it.”
He dragged her into the alleyway and the privacy of the inn. She slapped at his hand, but he glowered and pulled her after him. Finally, she leaned back, refusing to move. Giving her his dark, fallen angel smile, he tossed her over his shoulder and marched into the stable.
Her soft mewl sounded like a small animal in pain, but he hadn’t hurt her—yet. Her bottom would soon be sore, though. Defiant and angry, she punched his spine and kicked her legs.
He retaliated with a sharp slap to her behind. “I warned you what I’d do if you defied me. If you scream, you’ll rouse the whole town. Just imagine the scandal if they see you with your skirts around your waist while I spank some sense into you.”
His words knocked the fight out of her.
The silly chit must have walked through the night to arrive here so early. His heart clenched when he thought of the stupid risk she’d taken. Her stubborn determination and ridiculous actions infuriated him—roused a spark of admiration in him, too.
Certain they were alone, he slapped her backside hard. Her shocked gasp sent delighted shudders through his blood. His cock stiffened in response. She tried to sink her teeth into his back, but his thick top-coat made her efforts ineffectual. Dick stiff, libido on fire, he smacked her again. “No kicking.”
Another look at her rounded arse and shapely limbs, and his breath caught in his throat. If she was his, he’d love her until she writhed and begged for release. When she came, it would be his name she screamed, but this was about punishment, not pleasure.

Blurb
When her brother tries to force her into a marriage with a detestable baron, Julianna Halstead flees the family estate she has helped manage since the death of her parents. But as she makes her escape late at night, Juliana’s carelessness nearly results in her being trampled by a galloping horse, and the steed’s handsome rider takes it upon himself to correct her right then and there.
Though having her bottom bared and soundly spanked on the side of the road leaves Juliana blushing crimson, the punishment arouses her intensely and her body’s helpless response cannot be hidden. To make matters worse, the gentleman over whose lap she was so firmly chastised turns out to be none other than Viscount Stonehurst, someone she has known since childhood.
When Stonehurst learns of Juliana’s predicament, he decides to make her his bride. She will be no ordinary wife, however. She will be something much more shameful. But even as she is leashed, collared, and put on display in a cage wearing only a tail, then brought out to be used in ways no proper lady should enjoy, will Juliana come to love her new life as the viscount’s pet?
Publisher’s Note: The Viscount’s Pet is a stand-alone novel which shares the Regency-era setting of Wickedly Used and His Innocent Bride. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.
