Catherine's Surrender and Other Stories

The title novelette and four additional stories make up this collection of romantic M/F spanking stories which has a combined length of more than 23,000 words. Catherine's Surrender - Catherine Paxton, a former model, has just landed her dream job as sales manager for a high end clothing boutique owned by the renowned designer, Eleana Saleri. At the same time, a budding romance is developing with a shy but hunky writer named John Carter. But all is not as it seems on the job, for Ms. Saleri employs an unusual method of dispensing discipline to her enthusiastic, but very young and immature, sales staff, one that involves the application of a leather paddle to a bare bottom. Then Catherine herself runs afoul of an important house rule, and it is she who must make an appointment to see the mysterious disciplinarian, Mr. Dante. It's an appointment that will change her life forever. A New Therapy for Miriam's Patient - Don was stunned when his long time psychiatrist girlfriend, Miriam Ford, abruptly walked out on him. He was equally stunned when, several months later, she sought his legal advice on a new Russian therapy, one that employs the birch rod and ritual spanking punishments to treat depression. It turns out Miriam has a new patient, one who might respond to the new treatment, and she wants to meet with Don after hours to discuss it. Justice Delayed - Years ago, Kelly Northridge escaped a rather painful and embarrassing date with the school paddle at the hands of the handsome principal, Frank Meredith. On assignment by her newspaper in her old home town, she takes the opportunity to call upon Mr. Meredith, still a bachelor, and still the object of intense feminine interest. To her surprise, she finds that the old lawsuit that stayed her previous punishment has been reversed, and to her dismay, Mr. Meredith wants to pick up where he left off. Kelly's Remorse - Kelly and Frank are now an item, but Kelly nearly blows it by instigating a political argument at a social gathering. Frank wonders if Kelly is the girl for him if she shows no better judgment than that, but with the help of a girlfriend, some clever costumes, and some appropriate implements, she hopes to properly apologize and save the relationship. Side Trip - A guy takes a weekend road trip and decides to abandon the interstate for a little scenic side trip. He winds his way through rural Alabama, where traditional values hold sway. In a local attraction's gift shop, the purchase of a novelty store paddle as a gag gift for a friend leads to a very interesting encounter with the owner, an attractive blonde widow.
