Under A Duke's Hand

Book 4 of the Properly Spanked series

Take a rousing romp through 1790s England with this fourth and final book in the Properly Spanked series...

A duke as wealthy and powerful as the Duke of Arlington requires, by matter of course, an elegant, perfectly pedigreed bride. Unfortunately, he must settle for the king's choice: Miss Guinevere Vaughn, the rough-edged daughter of a border baron. She's pretty enough for a Welsh hellion, but she hasn't the necessary polish to succeed in London society. When Aidan explains that she'll need to improve her manners—and her disposition—he finds himself locked in a vexing battle of wills.

Gwen never asked to wed a duke. Her new husband is haughty, inflexible, and demanding, and makes no secret of his disdain for her upbringing. No matter how hard she tries to please him, she's never good enough. He disciplines her with an iron hand, and then expects her to submit to his vile whims in bed. Not that his whims are...completely...vile...all of the time. It's only that her husband doesn't love her, and she wants him to love her.

If only her feelings were not so complicated.

If only life was not so difficult Under A Duke's Hand...
