Spanking

Eadan McCabe wants to get away from Gleann for a while after the death of his wife, Nessa. There are too many memories of their life together, good and bad. Although the marriage had problems, he did love his wife. He plans to leave with his son, Eadan Hamish, and his squire. His Grandda’s hunting lodge seems like the perfect place to go for some peace, if he can get his son away from his nurse, Kirstie.
Kirstie Ferguson has many secrets that she’s sworn never to tell anyone. When Eadan Hamish refuses to leave her, she decides to go with him and Eadan to stay at the McCabe hunting lodge. She knows she can’t stay in the Highlands much longer, or she risks begin found by the family she ran away from many years ago. Kirstie decides to make the best out of the time with the lad, who she’s grown to love. Even if the attraction she feels for his Da has to be ignored.
Over a few goblets of whiskey Kirstie finally tells Eadan her sad tale. The pair drink more than they realize and end up sleeping together. The next morning they are found, and then marry. Eadan understands why Kirstie is worried, but now that she’s his wife, he’s confident he can keep her safe. Kirstie will once again run away, but this time instead of fear for herself, she’s afraid that Eadan knowing about her will endanger him too. Eadan will chase her down, and when he catches her, he’ll put her over his knee until she promises never to run again. But her family isn’t ready to give up either, and vow to take her back, to keep their own secret safe.

Although this is a stand-alone novel, many of the characters were introduced to the series in The McCabe’s Books 1-6.

Emelia Scott has been held captive by Stephen Thompson for a very long time, and she hates him. To get his hands on lands that her family owns, he informs her that in two days she’ll be joining him, first at the altar and then in his bed. She’s not sure what to do, but she knows she can’t marry the man that killed her family.
Owen McCabe made a promise to free Emelia Scott from the Thompsons, and he intends to keep it. It takes him months of planning, but with the help of his friend, John, and Emelia’s maid, Kirstie, he’s finally able to locate her and help her escape.Nothing goes according to his plan, and Owen and Emelia are pursued, first across England and then Scotland, as Stephen Thompson tried to take back the woman he needs to complete his plan.
Owen will do whatever it takes to keep Emelia safe, including marrying her at the anvil in Gretna Green. The two will get to know each other well as they travel to the Highlands, finding they have much in common. Emelia can’t wait to see her family again, and Owen is determined to make that happen. Being young and impulsive, she makes some bad decisions, leading to her being bent over her new husband’s knee.

Although ‘The McCabe Books 1-6’ are stand-alone stories, I highly recommend reading book 5 “A Man of Honor” before reading book 6 “Her Brave Knight”. The stories in these two books complete one long tale. Many of the characters in this book have been introduced earlier in books 1-5.
