It's a while since I shared my first novel - a spanking romance set in an equestrian centre in New Zealand. So for today's Saturday Spankings I decided to bring back Anna and Jeremy.
In this scene, the horse Anna has been training is in her maiden race, with jockey Josh on board.
“Go
Star! Go!” she screamed from the sidelines, clutching at Jeremy’s hand,
squeezing it with a superhuman strength that made him wince.
“Go!” she screamed
again, wild with excitement as the horse continued to gain speed, overtaking
horse after horse as they raced towards the final corner. The gap between Star
and the leader was lessening at an incredible rate as the horse streaked down
the track, every muscle in her body working hard to propel her onwards.
“Come on Josh, keep at it boy!” her
father yelled, pumping his fist into the air.
“Don’t fall off Josh!” was Jeremy’s
quiet contribution, before he, too, got caught up into the excitement, yelling
and cheering alongside Anna and the rest of Starlight’s supporters.
Blurb: When
Anna Fletcher comes home from University back to Bracken Ridge, the equine
centre where she grew up, she is stunned to find Jeremy McCrae working as the manager.
They were children together and she has had a crush on him forever. The years
she's been away, Jeremy has only gotten cuter.
Anna has plans for Bracken Ridge, but before she can implement them, she needs to prove herself. The biggest obstacle in her path is her nemesis, the stable hand who thinks Jeremy is mighty fine. Once Anna gets past her, Jeremy is standing in her way - he's now the boss, but she can't work for him. He's been her best mate forever, and to cede to his authority now is going against every grain of her nature. Being the daughter of the owner, Jeremy isn’t allowed to fire Anna, so when she gets rebellious and sassy he decides to spank her instead.
Can Jeremy tame Anna's rebellious spirit before it is too late?

Thanks Roz! Everyone cheering on Star reminds me of my friend who read this before I submitted it - she was reading it on her tablet on the treadmill in the gym and started cheering, then remembered where she was LOL. She got strange looks in the gym for several days afterwards :)
