Bound to the Admiral- book 1 - The Lighthouses of Devmaer

He rules the queen's navy. Now he must tame the princess.
Devoted to her craft as a healer, Princess Gael intends to remain single. The people of Devmaer are gripped by a pandemic and need her.
When her parents choose a gruff, battle-hardened admiral as her mate, she is furious but cannot refuse. Instead, she vents her anger on Admiral Kai Grenville. To her horror, this old-fashioned yet undeniably sexy man takes her over his knee. He bares her bottom for a painful, embarrassing spanking and promises more of the same if she refuses to behave.
After their vows, he moves her to his vast seaside estate, far from her sheltered valley home. Before he leaves for a tour of duty, he warns her to only leave the grounds with at least one guard for protection. Gael smiles with false compliance while mischief brews in her heart.
She decides to go to the city on an urgent mission but doesn’t want Kai’s minders tagging along, reporting her every move. Her bravery lands her in the hands of kidnappers while the man who has vowed to protect her is thousands of miles away.
