title: Veronica
author: Jones, Nattie
description: Veronica is a simple lady's companion who accepts her lot in life to sit on the sidelines and watch others have fun escapades and adventures. After all, she's stuck—she has no dowry, it's incredible unlikely she'd ever marry. But deep inside Veronica is the overwhelming desire to be disciplined… Enough so that she writes sordid tales about punishment in her diary, which one day falls in love with the very duke that one of her stories is about!
  Tired of demanding mistresses that don't appreciate his interests in spanking and discipline, the Duke immediately singles Veronica out as a perfect solution to his problem—he'd marry this woman and get everything he wanted; marriage to a beautiful woman and one who would like receiving punishment as much as he liked dealing it.
  But there's a very fine line between punishments and playful spankings in the bedchamber, and Veronica finds it difficult to get one but not the other as well. Will his attentions prove to be too much? Or will she yearn for his hand no matter how firmly he applies it to her bottom?
