The lovely Etta Stark is here today with her new book The Liberation of Miss X and can I just say what a gorgeous cover that is!
Take it away Ms Stark...
This
is the first book in a new series ‘Victorian Submission’ about a very exclusive
(and rather kinky) club in nineteenth century London. There will be more books
following this year which will tell the stories of the women who are welcomed through
its doors and into its dungeon.
Blurb:
London 1890. Flora Taylor has been estranged from her beloved brother, Edward, for five years after their father banished him from the house and refused to have anything to do with him. When she is reunited with him, she is delighted to have him back in her life but, sadly, her happiness is short-lived.
Edward and his lover, George, are arrested and imprisoned. The laws of Victorian London mean that the two men are facing the prospect of prison with hard labor for the crime of being in love with one another.
Flora must work with Edward’s friend and solicitor William Beech to secure their release. However, the more time she spends with Mr. Beech, the more she finds herself opening up to feelings and passions that she has never had the chance to explore before.
As Flora and Mr. Beech fall in love, they explore a world of discipline and submission. A world that is new to Flora but already familiar to Mr. Beech, a member of a very special London club. Flora discovers a world that she never knew existed and that she is more than happy to embrace.
Excerpt:
“What do you propose we do next?” asked Flora.
“Right now, I would suggest that you eat.” William gestured towards the dinner on the table.
Flora shook her head. “I can’t right now. My nerves would not permit it.”
“You mustn’t jeopardise your health,” warned William.
“I do not intend to,” said Flora, taking another sip of her whisky. “You’re not eating either, I see. Should I berate you for endangering your health?”
“No. You can curb that attitude, though. Or I’ll put you over my knee and give your bottom a damn good spanking.”
Flora took another sip of whisky. Evidently the liquor was loosening her tongue. “No you won’t,” she said dismissively. “You’re all talk.”
The words had barely left her lips before she found herself grabbed by the waist as William quickly sat down on one of the dining room chairs and upended her over his lap.
She let out a squawk of indignation as her skirts and petticoats were flipped up over her head leaving her bloomer-clad bottom exposed to the lawyer’s gaze. “Flora,” he said calmly. “I don’t believe for a moment that you think I am ‘all talk’. I think you fully intended to spur me into action.”
Now that the prospect of a spanking had become all too real, Flora began to panic. What had she started?
William continued. “Obviously you are under a great deal of strain at the moment. You’re worried about your brother. A spanking isn’t going to worsen your mood, though. In fact, I believe it will soothe your nerves.”
“You’re spanking me to make me feel better?” Flora asked incredulously.
“Not at all. You deserve to be punished for your insolence, so I am punishing you. Any improvement to your spirits will be a fortuitous side effect.”
