    Still good characters and heat. Better when all is consensual. Fun story with an interesting take on marital relations.

About the Author

Chapter One: Betrothed

Long ago, in the fairy tale kingdom of Hastings

Violet threaded her fingers together and peered through the window into the palace courtyard. It was a pretty spring day in April, and all of Hastings was abloom.

Has he arrived? her father asked from the divan.

Not yet, papa.

She unwound her fingers and picked at her dress, smoothing layers of ruffles. Her pale blonde curls were piled atop her head in a regal style appropriate for a royal princess awaiting a suitor.

Not a suitor. A fiancé, because Violet was betrothed to the Duke of Thornton, a fact that still startled her.

Since their betrothal had been arranged, the duke had come once a week for tea and a stroll around the palace gardens. Violet looked forward to these visits with a mixture of delight and dread. He was always polite, taking her hand with the lightest touch, and speaking in a calm and moderate tone. She might almost forget that she’d endured dozens of trips across his lap prior to this betrothal, and that this very man had spanked her to within an inch of her life to reform her. They avoided talking about that.

Still, she remembered, and she was certain he remembered too.

Papa, she said, turning to the king with a quaver in her voice. Sometimes I wonder if this marriage is a reasonable idea.

My child, why wouldn’t it be?

How could she explain her misgivings without telling him all the humiliating and painful things the duke had subjected her to in his quest to improve her behavior? He’d been successful, of course, which pleased her father enough to give the duke her hand in marriage. Such was the fate of a royal princess, to marry whomever the king selected.

It’s only that... Well, you see, papa... I think sometimes the duke is a bit bad-tempered.

Her father frowned. I’ve never seen him in a temper, not in all the years I’ve known him.

He doesn’t lose his temper the way you’re thinking. He doesn’t yell and storm around, but he’s so regimented, and if you dare displease him... She chewed harder on her lip, blocking out uncomfortable memories. In my view, he relies too strongly on corporal punishment to get his way.

It’s a man’s right to discipline an unruly female, whether daughter, sister, or wife. Now that you’re reformed of your hellion ways, what does it matter? Thornton shall have no cause to spank an angel like you.

Goodness, he couldn’t understand that a man like the duke never stopped spanking. He might not spank her as much, but every slip-up would be reckoned over his lap.

It’s just... I’ve been considering the importance of this marriage, and the fact that we’ll be joined together for years and years, and well, I thought I might do better to have a husband who’s more…easy-going.

A future queen’s consort cannot be easy-going, Violet. Thornton is the perfect man for the task. My dear, it’s been settled for weeks.

But papa, I’d much rather be joined in marriage to a man who lets me be free.

Free? The king pulled a face. "Free to descend again into selfish tantrums and self-serving nonsense? You don’t need or want a man who will let you be free. You need exactly what you are getting: a man who will
