The Duke's Reluctant Spanked Wife

Lady Eleanor Hartwell attends a ball seeking financial security, but finds herself caught in the Duke of Ashford's commanding gaze. When Adrian corners her in his study, his firm hand delivers both punishment and pleasure, awakening desires she never knew existed. His touch ignites her skin as control slips away beneath his masterful discipline.

Eleanor came seeking independence from society's constraints, but surrenders instead to Adrian's dominant possession, discovering that true freedom lies in submission to the right man's hand.
