Lucy's Journey Home: Hunter's Ridge Book One — Maggie Ryan

Leaving her twin sister Louisa and her husband, Lord Edward Wintercrest behind, Lucy knows that while she is sad, it is only right that she follow her husband. Every aspect of traveling by train fascinates her.

While her husband loves seeing her so excited, he has no intention of allowing her to forget his rules of behavior or the vows she spoke less than a week earlier. Lucy's lessons continue as she adapts to the dual roles she has accepted as both his bride and his little girl.

She is a willing student as her husband teaches her ways of pleasure that she could never have imagined. She is far less willing when she discovers he means what he says...when she makes bad choices and is naughty, her bottom pays a price.

Lucas surprises her by introducing her to Lord Stefan Northbridge and his own bride, Emmaline. The two girls become instant friends. Molly, Lucy's former lady's maid and now her nanny, is also thrilled to be able to ask Bertha, Emmie's nanny, for tips on how to properly care for the little miss.

The journey is full of discovery for everyone and serves to remind Lucy of why she gave her heart and soul to Lucas. He reminds her that she is his heart, his life and his love and she realizes that she wants nothing more than to be his forever.

This book is meant for adults only and has an age-play theme. When Lucy wed Lucas, she vowed to accept her life living in dual roles - one as her husband's wife and the other as his special child-bride.
