She hasn't stopped thinking since she woke up. He hasn't stopped watching since she sat down.
She carries everything ? the schedules, the decisions, the emotional weight of a life that never fully stops demanding. She is capable and exhausted and somewhere underneath all of it, quietly desperate for someone to just take over. Not forever. Just long enough to breathe.
Her husband sees it. He has always seen it. The way her mind never fully stops. The way she apologizes for thinking too much. The way she performs strength so consistently she has forgotten what it feels like to set it down.
He doesn't wait for her to ask. He doesn't need her to explain. He simply looks at her ? really looks ? and decides that tonight, she doesn't carry anything.

Daddy's Good Girl is the first book in the Praise & Punishment series ? a sensually explicit dark romance with emotional depth and psychological intensity. Immediate heat, psychological dominance, and the kind of intimacy that comes from being married to someone who has been paying attention all along.

No strangers. No slow burn. Just a husband who knows his woman ? every exhausted, capable, complicated part of her ? and a wife who finally lets him show her what that knowledge is worth.
