The Ambassador's Daughter — Paige Tyler

Sparks fly in this sci-fi romance when an interplanetary ambassador's spoiled, impetuous daughter, Inarii Kal'yle, finally meets her match in the form of her new, no-nonsense bodyguard, the handsome Rand Barany. An expert in the field of personal protection, Rand has a reputation for getting the job done, and has no patience for his charge's blatant disregard for the rules.

Threats abound around the beautiful socialite, but are they from her father's enemies or the obsessed stalker who has unknowingly been tracking her? Rand doesn't know or care; his job is to keep her safe. But how can he do that when she takes a perverse sort of pleasure in slipping away from him every chance she gets?

Finally, he has no choice but to do what he's wanted to do since their first meeting â€" he drags he over his knee. Outraged, she runs to her father, thinking that he will dismiss her brute of a bodyguard. But her father surprises her by siding with Rand, telling her that it's no more than she deserves. Then, as if that weren't enough, he practically gives Rand permission to spank her whenever the man sees fit!
But when the threats becomes all too real and they're on the run for their lives, Inarii has no choice but to depend on Rand. Even then, her nature won't allow her to follow his orders, and he's forced to spank her repeatedly - for her own good, according to him. And though she may fight Rand every step of the way, it doesn't keep her from falling for the big brute!
