The Firm Hand of the Law — Loki Renard

Lily Brannigan is fed up with running a seedy bar just to make ends meet while trying to ignore the smuggling ring her criminal family runs out of her place of business, but she's no snitch, and when detective Gareth Knight shows up and starts asking questions, he gets no answers. Cop or not, though, Gareth is strong, handsome, and bossy in a way that makes her melt, and it isn't long before Lily gives in to her body's demands. Gareth is not a man to be trifled with, and he informs Lily in no uncertain terms that he intends to be around until this case is over. He'll be making sure she takes care of herself-something Lily hasn't been doing for years-and when her behavior puts her safety at risk, he has no qualms about taking her over his knee, baring her bottom, and spanking her long and hard. The walls around Lily's heart begin to crack as Gareth's attention and care make her feel loved for the first time in ages. His skilled, dominant love-making leaves her begging for more, but if her bosses realizes she's bedding a cop her life will be in grave danger. Can she trust Gareth to keep her safe, or is she just a means to an end for him?
