There's nothing like an After-Christmas Sale, and this book (which is free on KU) won't be at the reduced price of 99 cents on Amazon for long! Here's a scene to get you in the mood for Safe in His Hands:
Libby decided to go shopping
after visiting with David to waste some time before she returned home. James
was replacing a light bulb in the kitchen when she arrived, loaded down with a
bag in each hand.
“It looks like you had a
successful trip running errands.” He swiveled the chair to turn toward her as
he noticed the bags she was holding.
“They had a sale in almost every
store, and I paid cash for everything,” she boasted.
“Is that all you did today?” He
got down off the chair and threw the old light bulb in the garbage.
She put both bags down and
opened the refrigerator as he calmly sat on a kitchen chair and folded his
arms. James’s composed appearance combined with a stern expression made her
stomach flip. It almost looked like he wanted to spank her.
“Where are we going with this?” Libby’s
eye began to twitch as she smoothed her short red hair behind her ears.
“You never stop to see your mom
without checking first to see if she’ll be home. Sandy called this morning and
wanted to know what you were doing today.” His demeanor was calm as his blue
eyes darkened.
She shook her head in defeat.
“I’m waiting, Libby.”
“I stopped to see David this
morning and then went shopping by myself. I didn’t have errands to run and
never intended to see my mother,” she admitted with her head down.
“Hmm.” James nodded slowly. “Did
David know you were coming, or were you only thinking about seeing him, too?”
“I’m really sorry,” she
whispered, raising her head enough to make eye contact.
“Why couldn’t you tell me the
truth? In the fifteen years we’ve known each other, you’ve never lied to me. What’s
going on?”
“I haven’t visited with David
alone in a long time and missed confiding in my old friend. There aren’t too
many people around these days who understand me.”
“Well, I absolutely think we
should discuss the worry that no one understands you. But right now, we have to
take care of a more urgent problem. Libby, this relationship isn’t going to
work unless you’re honest with me. Do you agree?”
She nodded.
“You know I shouldn’t accept
that as a response.”
“Yes.” Her voice was almost an
audible whisper.
“Come on, sweetie, I know what
you’re reading. Aren’t you supposed to answer respectfully?” His tone was
gentle, but conveyed a no-nonsense air. “Is this what you’ve been wanting?”
“Yes, sir.”
She imagined his cock doing a
little dance as he seemed to revel in those two small words. “Go upstairs and
wait for me. Use the bathroom first, if you need to.”
She turned to walk away and
quickly swiveled back around. “Are you going to spank me?”
He inclined his head to meet her eyes. “Let’s start with your pants
down and nose pressed into the corner of your bedroom, Ms. Pinocchio.”
Libby walked up the steps in a
daze. So many things swam around in her brain that she began to feel dizzy. After
months of digging deep for the courage to tell James, she couldn’t believe that
he already knew! Pulling her pants and panties down to her knees, she pressed
her nose against the wall in the corner of her bedroom. Her naked, plump bottom
jutted out awaiting his attention.
“This isn’t the Libby I know. You’re
usually much more rebellious,” he observed, entering the room as one eyebrow
arched higher than the other at the delicious display. She knew enough not to
speak while in the corner, but since he was testing her sass, she decided to
give James what he wanted.
“I was hoping for a stay of
execution if I cooperated.”
This earned her two quick swats
on her smooth, alabaster butt.
“Ahh, Libby Diamond still walks
among us.” His tone was soft and lighthearted.
“Good to know you haven’t lost
your sense of humor, James.”
“Well, we might as well get this
over with while you’re in a submitting
mood. Please join me, princess.” He removed the comforter and dragged an
armless chair next to the bed.
She quickly pulled her bunched
clothing up, walked over to her boyfriend slowly, and waited for more
instructions.
“I’m not going to make it so
easy for you, my love. You earned this spanking. And, by the way, who said you
could put your panties back on?”
“No one did. It would be hard to
walk with them around my knees. Of course you wouldn’t know because you’ve never spanked anyone who just
came out of a corner.”
James took a deep breath, almost
as though he were trying to calm himself. It was obvious she was trying to
uncover information, but she was taking him to the edge at the same time. “Bare your bottom and lower
yourself over my knee right now,” he uttered in a dark, quiet voice.
Libby complied and he
repositioned her so that the upper half of her body was on the bed. His left
knee kept her bottom high in the air, while his right leg secured her in place.
She wondered how he’d learned how to do that.
His fingers were splayed on her
naked behind as he began with the million-dollar question. “Why are you getting
this spanking, Libby?” His voice was deep as he began to rub her bare bottom.
She knew she should answer
quickly, but didn’t. After a swift smack landed directly in the middle of her
smooth, ivory cheeks, she decided to speak. “Because I lied to you and it won’t
happen again.”
James’s hand rapidly fired two
sharp cracks on each supple globe and waited patiently for another response.
She turned to look at him
through narrowed eyes. “Ouch! That hurt. Was that your hand?”
“It’s supposed to hurt. Face
forward, Libby, and behave yourself.” He applied his open palm hard and slow
several more times in the same spot until she could feel the heat forming.
“Ow! I’m sorry. I was worried
you wouldn’t understand. James, please! That really hurts!”
He stopped and kept his hand on
her hot bottom as she remained in that embarrassing position. “I’m guessing
that didn’t hurt in your fantasies.”
She could hear the smile in his
voice as she shook her head.
“Promise you won’t lie to me
anymore.”
“I promise.” She should’ve been
honest with him from the start. Her eyes filled with tears as he tenderly patted
her bright pink behind and told her she was forgiven. Then he pulled her up
into in his arms and rocked her like a baby, repeatedly kissing her wet cheeks.
“Are you ready to talk to me
now?” he whispered into her ear.
“Please tell me David didn’t call
you. Our conversation was supposed to be confidential. He’s a minister, for God’s
sake.”
“No, David didn’t call me. It
seems you’ve been obsessed with books about domestic discipline for some time
now.” He gently turned her around until their eyes met.
“I can’t believe you know.” She
wiped her face with the back of her hands.
“Tommy knew, too.”
“But I never told him.”
“He knew what you were reading
and saw you on the weekly blog hops, the spanking sites…”
Her expression was incredulous
as she looked into his striking blue eyes.
“He needed someone to talk with.”
“Jesus, I’ve been such an idiot.
I went to David today because I needed the courage to tell you. I was afraid
you’d run for the hills.” Her head fell into her hands.
“I’m really sorry, Libby. It’s not
like I’m a stranger to that kind of kink, but I had to make sure this is what
you want.”
Her head raised slowly. “This is
unbelievable.”
He nodded. “Judi didn’t want
anyone to know, especially her family. We were pretty tight-lipped about the
whole thing.”
“So why did your marriage really split up?” Libby’s arms crossed as her
brow furrowed.
He uncrossed her arms. “I never
shared this information with anyone because it was private and personal.”
“Please don’t make me guess,
James.”
“She was having an affair with
her boss.” His intense blue eyes stared out the window.
“You think you know someone…”

And now the blurb:
Though they have known each other since high school, Libby Diamond still cannot bring herself to tell her boyfriend, firefighter James Walker, about the yearning she has long felt for guidance, structure, and discipline in her life. It comes as quite a shock for Libby when she learns that not only has James known about her needs all along, he is also more than ready to give her what she seeks. Soon she is standing in the corner like a naughty little girl before being taken over his knee for a hard, bare-bottom spanking to remind her not to keep things from him.
Cindy Lewis has been hoping for years that one day the right man would come along for her—a firm daddy who would watch over her, hold her accountable for her actions, and sometimes even make her blush while he teaches her to be a good little girl.
When strange and alarming things start happening in her home, Cindy calls her best friend Libby for help. With her boyfriend still at work, Libby brings their old high school friend David Clark along to Cindy’s house, and David and Cindy quickly hit it off.
It isn’t long before Cindy is being bathed, cuddled, and spanked by her new daddy, but even as their romance blossoms, mysterious, disturbing events at Cindy’s home continue to terrify her. Can David protect his little girl from whoever or whatever is lurking in the shadows?
