[The British Billionaire Bachelor 01] • The British Billionaire Bachelor, Act One

Every man's a playboy...until he meets the right woman. " Pulling her panties up between her cheeks, he held them tightly with one hand and began spanking her with the other, landing the swats with a light, tantalizing touch, slowly increasing the force and alacrity, stopping when the spirit moved him, to slide his fingers under the gusset of her knickers to tickle and tease." Simon Sinclair is a handsome Dominant womanizer, and one of the wealthiest men in England. Female company has always been plentiful, but finding a true submissive is another matter. Simon arrives in Beverly Hills in search of a second home, and a close friend thinks he knows a realtor who may possess a fondness for the covert practices Simon craves. Enter Belle Somers, a young woman who has a taste for the dark side. An erotic ingenue, having enjoyed only tantalizing tastes of the salacious fantasies that shadow her days and haunt her nights, she aches for a man who knows how to wield a whip and tie a knot. But Simon and Belle each possess a fierce independence, an independence they may find too great to overcome. Sharing libidinous decadence can create a deep and abiding bond, but can such a bond be strong enough to change habits of a lifetime? The " British Billionaire Bachelor" is a romance novel that includes sensuous spanking, bondage, corporal punishment and loving D/s scenes. As with all Maggie Carpenter books, at its core is the relationship between a Romantic Dominant and a sweet submissive, both of whom have tremendous affection, respect and adoration for each other.
