Johnny Kincaid is astounded when Emma’s father literally gives him a boot off the ranch after he offers for her hand in marriage. Morgan Trask is furious that the man is proposing to marry his barely eighteen year old daughter, and when Elizabeth shows up at his door a couple weeks later, and tells him to keep his lying, scheming daughter away from her son, Morgan explodes. Trasks do not lie, and it is inconceivable that Emma told Johnny she was twenty-one years old! What’s more, the lovely Elizabeth was begging for a spanking!

When Emma runs away to find Johnny, Elizabeth gives chase; she is determined to protect her son from the little blonde. Morgan is also on the trail, to find Emma, and keep that redheaded son of Elizabeth’s from taking advantage of his little girl!

The real problem, Morgan can’t keep his eyes off of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth feels the same way about Morgan… even all they do is fight with each other constantly over their kids, and Liz goes out of her way to earn a solid spanking from a man who doesn’t really believe in spanking females.

Betsy Borntrager wants nothing more in her life than to kneel for her baptismal vows in the Amish church, marry Eli, and raise a family in the old ways. But she is surrounded by silence amongst the Plain People—silence that is meant to bring her closer to the church, and yet is pushing her further away. The only one not silent is Eli, and he has a different way of dealing with undesirable behavior—spanking, suppositories and plastic rods that make her feel submission in a whole new way.

Freya simply isn't interested in retiring from the life of a mercenary, and especially not to marry a man she hasn't seen since they were both children. But the man involved has a very strange way about him, something that begins to attract Freya in spite of herself.

Jorian isn't going to take no for an answer no matter how hard he has to spank Freya, but things still don't quite work out the way he wants them to. He does, however, have an ace up his sleeve when it comes to repairing the mistakes he makes...

Penelope Wainright's heart is in the right place. Her aunt's charitble work among London's poor has moved her to where she must help.

As her own London Season begins, Penelope is torn with conflicts, because she knows where the hat ribbons and lace embroidery she's wearing comes from. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor might be a traditional way of helping, but stories and reality are often far apart, as Penelope is soon to find out. She's not taking much - and only what will not be missed - from those who can afford it most. Yes, her heart's in the right place: the problem is - perhaps - her methods.

Enter Niles Granvile, Earl of Ayesford. He's not in need of an heiress, so Penelope's lack of funds are of no concern to him. And he's very taken with the challenge she throws out, and makes it clear he knows how to handle saucy chits - over his knee with their skirts up and knickers down. Penelope makes it clear: not for all the tea in China.

Niles is not to be dissuaded, but then things about Penelope's behavior start to seem odd. Very odd indeed...

After her husband loses his life for the Confederate cause, 33-year-old Charlotte Steele finds herself having gone from beloved wife and plantation mistress to war widow.

It's lean times for her and what remains of her household, and without an able man to provide for them, Charlotte decides she must assume the role. After all, tough times call for strength and she fuels that strength with anger directed at her late husband - who enlisted despite her pleas not to - and the faceless enemy who killed him.

But Charlotte's strength is tested when runs into Sgt. Nathan Bane, a Union soldier who will challenge not only her newfound need to maintain control but also her vow to hate anyone north of the Mason Dixon line.

Contented bachelor and former Wyoming lumberjack Henry Aith thinks he's found the woman of his dreams in Annabel, a desperate young heiress he meets in town. Annabel is rich, beautiful, winsome, well-bred, (and did I mention, wealthy?) Charmed by the lady's wide-eyed innocence and her heartrending need of help, Henry is swept into a whirlwind courtship and wedding, and then rides happily off with his new bride to the prosperous mountain "estate" she claims to own. On arriving, though, Henry discovers that the peaceful hearth and gracious home he envisioned is actually a run-down cabin occupied by live chickens… AND by Annie's unkempt, uneducated sisters–five of marriageable age and several younger. All of the filthy cabin's filthy occupants, (except for the chickens) are foul-mouthed, unsisterly little hellions, no happier to see Henry than he is to see them.

With the only narrow mountain pass in or out of the mountain valley blocked by a winter storm,
though, poor Henry is trapped like a rat. So, after first taking the time (Quite a LOT of time, actually) to take his conniving new bride dutifully across his knee and paddle the truth (or part of it) out of her, he undertakes to make the best of the situation, by taming and educating ALL of the sisters.

Henry's work is cut out for him. If he is ever to enjoy the quiet life he dreamed of, he'll have to marry off his five hellish sisters-in-law. But first, he'll have to make them proper ladies–or as close to human as he can get. And before any of THAT, he'll have to tame and win back his own short-tempered wife. A long winter, a daunting task, and a LOT of spankings.

Shawna's new life on the mining world of Trellian promises excitement and danger. She and her new friends in the Companion Program will each be assigned to a miner who will have the responsibility to keep them safe and enforce rules with spankings if needed.

Sparks fly the first time Shawna encounters the handsome miner Vilnek who doesn't mind breaking rules to get what he wants when he wants it. What he wants is Shawna safely situated at his minestead and over his knee.

Shawna's Choice is a science fiction romance.

"My father and brothers are going to kill you," Sabrina said soberly. "Will you please listen to me? I am not Charity Davis. My name is Sabrina Masters. Charity quit her job and left town last week, and my father volunteered me to replace her. That is the truth, and if you don't believe me, then don't expect me to save you when Papa comes. I won't do it! And I'll give you a warning of my own. No one but Papa has ever dared to spank me. You lay a hand on me again, and I'll personally horsewhip you before Papa hangs you!"

Susannah Holyfield sets to sea in search of thrills and adventure, AND in pursuit of bold Andrew Buchanan, handsome sea captain and the first man who has been able to tame her. Not ENTIRELY tamed, however, Susannah manages to bring with her trouble, chaos, and even an occasional sea-going disaster.

Her lifelong dreams of excitement and passion come all too true for Susannah as she sails for China on a tall, fast Clipper with a man whose loving effort to “bring her down a peg” sometimes requires almost as many sound, hard spankings across his muscular knee as it does romantic moments. Impulsive and spirited, Susannah finds herself expelled and jailed, ‘rounding the Horn in a shrieking gale, shipwrecked and castaway on a windswept exotic island in the Pacific, kidnapped by “white slavers” in early San Francisco’s seamy Barbary Coast, and spanked all the way from Boston to Peking...all in search of love and happiness.

So, what’s an adorable brat to do when she’s offered a all-expenses- paid cruise of the South Pacific? Romance on the high seas, moonlight on emerald lagoons, swaying palm trees, gourmet meals…Except there’s this little shipwreck problem, you see, which pretty much screws your whole vacation, and you wind up on some wannabee “Gilligan’s Island”, sleeping in a falling-down grass shack, sharing the pool with girl-eating sharks, fighting off bats and repulsive crab armies, and watching your toe-nail polish chip. And at the end of every glorious afternoon in the sun comes the highpoint of your day! Dinner “al fresco” (that means in the sand, with bugs the size of baked potatoes and Roasted Rat in Coconut Sauce as the chef’s specialty.)

So, what girl wouldn’t get a little cranky with all that, right? Who wouldn’t understand a few tantrums, a little whining, a little foot-stamping? After all, brats are human, too.

Oh, and did I mention that you ‘re stuck here with this TERRIFIC looking hunk, who COULD make your day VERY nice, but instead, doesn’t think your tantrums are cute at ALL, and takes every opportunity to spank the living daylights out of your perky bottom whenever he gets miffed about any little thing! (Do you have ANY idea how many nasty things there are to get your butt spanked with in paradise?)

And then, just when you think nothing can get worse, you’re invaded by three MORE castaways. There’s this GREAT looking older guy, and two (ugh) women, one of whom is another brat, who makes YOU look like Mother Theresa! And guess what? This guy is every bit as handy with a paddle or a bamboo cane as the first one. Are we ladies lucky, or what?

And so it goes, five happy campers, frolicking in the sand from crisis to crisis (and spanking to spanking), until love blooms. Where and with whom? You’ll just have to read and find out!

NOW UPDATED WEEKLY!

Dane hoped an interview with the reclusive author would jumpstart his career as a freelance writer, but he hadn't counted on the late season storm, or getting lost in the woods with a sprained ankle and a concussion. He awakes hours later, stranded on a small island with none other than the lovely young author of his dreams. But she isn't at all what he'd expected. She is too naïve to have written those steamy love scenes. Her speech is often vulgar, and she has more prickles than a porcupine. He can't explain why he is attracted to her.

Something isn't right, though. One minute she is surly, the next she's so polite she could give Martha Stewart some lessons. He pulls her over his lap to give her a good, hard spanking, but a few days later when he gets a chance for a repeat performance, she has healed completely - not a single bruise remains. It's almost as if she were two different people. Then she bowed her head, her part slightly crooked and her long, blond hair in a tangled knot, and he figures out the truth. She has multiple personality disorder. Now he must gain her trust, and get her to a hospital where she can get the help she needs. Falling in love with her wasn't part of his plan, but somehow, he can't seem to prevent it.

Danni knew she was a lot of things, but a liar wasn't generally one of them. It was all her sisters' fault, too. They'd concocted the harebrained idea of publishing their first romance novels under a single name. Danni had gone along with it, as lots of writers used pseudonyms. But then this hopeful wannabe had to come along looking for an interview, and instead of telling him the truth, Emily insisted that they keep up the charade. They look enough alike to fool him, especially since he lost his glasses in the storm, but they don't act anything alike. Emily is bossy, worldly, and prissy. Rose is young and innocent. And Danni is about as graceful as a gooney bird. What really hurts, too, is that she is starting to like the idiot flatlander sleeping in her bed. But what will he do when he learns the truth?

Gwen is living life on a beautiful California beach, on the glittering periphery of glamorous Hollywood, so what could be wrong with this picture? Well, let's add it all up. 1.) Her pothead, dingbat landlady sidelines as a junk dealer, and has Gwen working in a sweatshop, painting non-existent lighthouses on toilet seats for the tourist trade. 2.) Her home is a ramshackle hot-pink surfer-shack that should have been condemned in the '60's. 3) Her obese beagle has just unearthed the dismembered corpse of an old boyfriend- an ex-boyfriend who sidelines in art forgery, blackmail and BDSM.  And– oh, yeah, 4) A drop-dead gorgeous cop comes by to investigate.

The problem is, this guy is ALSO an old flame, whose idea of encouraging Gwen's stalled art career AND of keeping her out of his murder investigation is to regularly put her across his knee and spank the living you-know-what out of her bare butt. It's a hard way to make a living, or to solve a couple of gruesome murders! , but someone has to do it, right?

After ten long years out of the spotlight, former child star Jodi Burroughs is back on top again…and she’s close to throwing it all away. Due to her famous temper tantrums, the producer is planning to kill her off on her new hit TV show. Her agent Evan Mallory is determined to save her…no matter how many spankings it will take or how hard they have to be. They manage to keep their sessions a secret…until her arch-rival figures it out. She’ll tell the world about it, too…unless Jodi joins her and her partner in some swinging spanking scenes.
Now a veteran fan magazine writer takes you behind the sound stage for this insider’s look at the new Hollywood…where some of the hottest action goes on after the cameras go off.

Life wasn’t easy for anyone born in the late 1700’s but it was particularly hard for a people who were slowly losing their way of life one tragedy at a time.
 
For years there were constant battles off and on with the whites and other tribes. But people then wanted what people in any time always want. They wanted their way of life free from the interference of outsiders, they wanted peace and to feel safe, and in their personal life they wanted true love.
 
White Moon found her true love in the young Shawnee warrior called Grey Eagle. He saved her life and then couldn’t live without her. He was her rock. She was a strong, good wife but during the hard times especially, she was glad that he was a strong, principled man who wasn’t afraid to be in charge. One who was gentle, kind and understanding but one who took his responsibilities as head of his family seriously. White Moon didn’t mind him having the final word and didn’t challenge him after the first time he gave her a serious spanking and the option of leaving if she felt she didn’t want to obey him. She loved him and wanted to please him and be his good Indian wife. He expected her to behave and on the rare occasions that she displeased him she knew he had the right as her husband to punish her and she was expected to take her punishment obediently. She wanted to please him in every way, especially the way a woman pleases a man in his bed. His incredibly handsome brown face and fit hard muscular body made that easy. Their lovemaking included spankings filled with love and laughter and some exquisite edgy ones which made her quiver with an intense sexual excitement.
 
He was her protector, her love, her warrior…her Shawnee husband.  She was his strong woman, his help mate, his lover….his Shawnee Wife.

Retired Marshal Rafe Mallory is more than a little upset when two Deputies show up at his secluded home with Sonny Shade’s daughter in tow. Seems the notorious outlaw named him guardian for the spirited, undisciplined, little redhead. Rafe is further shocked to discover the little hellion isn’t the twelve-year-old he thought her to be, but an eighteen-year-old young woman who has no idea how to behave properly.

Mandy is more than a little embarrassed when the tall ex-Marshal turns her over his knee for a spanking, and shamed when he bares her backside for a smacking with a wooden spoon. He quickly discovers his mistake about her age, and it’s hard to tell who is the most embarrassed. Mandy is determined to take care of herself, but Rafe Mallory isn’t about to let her leave, and she is afraid her poor butt isn’t going to survive having him as her guardian.

Rafe is pleased when his little sister, Katie, arrives… positive his sister will be a good influence on his ward, and can teach her things that he can’t… like how to sit properly in a dress. Katie is hiding her own secret… and is pretty darn sure her brother isn’t going to be too happy with her when he learns that she is being followed…

It was my first Jack. I was an orphan on First World, which pretty much made me a miner for life. And after the tragic massacre of my first team I had sworn off human contact, but a girl got lonely so I bought the Jack.

He did all the things his creators said a Jack could do. He could fix the climate controls and fix a mean omelette. And he was instant and intelligent conversation and he was supposed to have all of my same interests. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and he believed I needed
disclipine.

Fiery, independent Nola Hughes fought valiantly for women’s rights, but never realized that her own were going to be considerably impinged upon by a father who practically sold her into marriage. Worse than that, her new bridegroom was an autocratic, domineering wretch of a man she’d taken an instant disliking to the moment they’d met.

Brandon Sawyer had let his father and grandfather’s obvious wishes for him to produce heirs to their vast family fortune go completely unfulfilled. No woman had ever so much as rated a second glance from him. . . . until he saw that pale pink angel with the shockingly styled red hair at the Vanderbilts’ ball.

Whether she knew it or not, whether she wanted it or not, the decidedly unconventional Miss. Nola Hughes was going to become Mrs. Brandon Sawyer.

Not known for his more tender feelings towards much of anyone, including those of the opposite sex, Brandon found himself in an awkward struggle with both himself and his wife as those delicate feelings towards her overwhelmed and angered him at times. Yet she seemed to remain annoyingly untouched. He came to want more from her than he’d ever wanted from anyone, and he would settle for nothing less than all of her.

Judge Zachary Loyal has an enemy, one who wants to torture and kill his precious daughter, Tempest. He begs his old nemesis, Hurricane Bradford, to come and take Tempest away and protect her. Tempest has her own ideas, and demands the right to protect her wheel-chair bound father from the evil man threatening them. Hurricane agrees to take charge of the feisty redhead, but makes it perfectly clear that his way will include teaching the little brat some manners. He owed her that much for the humiliation she put him through when she thought HE was Grover Ashe!

Hurricane’s Tempest is a rollicking western, full of two hot-tempered people and the families they love.

Maybelle Caldwell is a matchmaker of the worst kind. A sweet old Grandma, she won't leave her grandson Jake - or her younger female friends - alone. How can you be rude to her? And when she gets it in her head that Jake should "hook up " with her favorite bridge partner, Rylee Jamison, it's "Katie bar the door" for both of them.

Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Isn't that how the old saying goes? Rylee intends to take a year off from her job to revisit her artisitic past, and Jake wants freedome to get his Dude Ranch" going. And it suddenly dawns on both of them that a marriage of convenience might be good for both of them.

But how "convenient" will it be, Rylee wonders, when she realizes that "marriage of convenience" or no, Jake spanks. Hard. On the bare bottom. For infractions that are, well, nothing to speak of. Add into the mix that Jake Caldwell is just about the sexiest cowboy Rylee has EVER seen, and you have either a marriage made in heaven or a match made in hell. Don't miss Dude Ranch!

The Civil War had been hard on everyone, but Celia Weston felt as if she personally had taken the brunt of it. Left alone on what had once been her family’s beautiful estate, she had to scrimp and scrape just to survive, reduced to living like an animal while she tried to take care of her beloved mother, whose mind had been crippled by her great losses.

Trey Oaks had been occupied by all sorts during those long years, but the worst was its last occupier – Aaron Denehy, who thought that possession was a lot more than nine tenths of the law, and that Celia’s body and soul came with the land he claimed as his own.
Celia found herself subjugated by Aaron, treated no better than a lady of easy virtue, barely better than the slaves the war had freed.

He spanked, belted or paddled her at the least sign of resistance, but brought her to the heights of ecstasy that she hadn’t known existed before his touch.

And there was nowhere for Celia to escape to. It was her home, but he was the Master.

In Regency England, the lives of young ladies of quality followed very predictable paths--from the schoolroom to the ballrooms of the ton to the bedroom of a titled gentleman.  A proper education included all the things a lady would need to know to run her husband's household.  At Miss Markham's School of Decorum and  Deportment, however, we meet six young women who refuse to meekly follow thier proscribed paths. 

They form a club, christen themselves "The Hellions" and vow to determine their own fates.  While at school, they secretly explore forbidden worlds and learn things most ladies have never heard of, let alone tried.  The fun story really begins after school is finished. 

As each young lady continues her adventures, she meets a man determined to thwart her.  Sparks fly, tempers are frayed lost, retribution swiftly delivered and ultimately hearts are lost.  But isn't love the greatest adventure of all?  

Rancher Cord Holderness needs a wife, but with few prospects in the Wyoming Territory, he decides that the only way to find a well-bred young lady is to get a mail-order bride. However, the girl that’s supposed to be his mail-order bride gets cold feet and leaves it up to her new friend, Kayla Mathison, to tell him that she’s changed her mind.

But when the handsome rancher assumes that the fiercely independent and stubborn Kayla is his mail-order bride, she finds herself going along with it. Running from an arranged marriage herself, and desperately in need of funds to get herself to San Francisco, she decides to lead Cord on so that she can steal the money she needs from him. But as the days turn into weeks, she finds that the money doesn’t interest her as much as it once did, especially when Cord starts putting her over his knee and spanking her whenever she becomes a little too willful for his liking. Much to her surprise, she discovers that she’s fallen in love with him.

Life on the ranch gets even more complicated when a ruthless land baron wants to take over every piece of grazing land in the territory, including Cord’s, and will do anything to get it. Then, as if that weren’t enough, Kayla’s very determined fiancé comes to town looking for her.
But Kayla has built this relationship with Cord by letting him think that she’s someone else, and she can only hope that Cord loves her enough to forgive her when he find out she’s not really his mail-order bride.

Aspiring writer Gwen Walden is hired by a sleazy tabloid to do an exclusive “spread” on reclusive author Joshua Denning, who has managed to avoid the press in the ten years since he wrote the stunning, Pulitzer prize winning best seller that shook the publishing world and Hollywood. With the world clamoring for another book, or a sequel to the first, Gwen tries her hand at sleuthing and discovers the intensely private Denning living on a secluded cliff in California’s beautiful Big Sur.

She manages to ingratiate herself into this man’s life and home with the intention of secretly photographing him, and instead, finds herself involved in a love affair and a mystery. When he discovers her identity, Denning takes on the challenge of turning the woman he has begun to love into the respected writer she wants to be. His methods are firm and occasionally harsh, and Gwen finds that being “whipped into shape” is harder and more painful than she expected.

Holly Peterson had been humiliated a year ago on Christmas Eve by her ex-fiancé, who considered her only a “passable” choice as a wife—while intending to keep his lover on the side. El Jerko had seen her as a playbunny with no real brains. True, she was a woman who flitted from job to job and never took life seriously, until that moment…until she tossed the ring back in his face.

He needed someone prepared to work with a successful, demanding businessman like him. Someone to come in and immediately handle the planning details of the company’s annual Christmas party. Holly was in no way qualified, but there was just something about the spirited young woman who had him hiring her. He did warn her that he expected a lot of hard work from her. As sanity hit him that he’d just hired the totally wrong person for the job, he added that there would be serious consequences should she not obey and comply with all of his orders. He hadn’t exactly said he meant spanking, but he did. She took the job anyway…heaven help them both.

Johnny has dreamed of going west all his life. He's been tied to his pa's 25 acre dirt farm, with a pair of the dumbest oxen this side of the Missouri, and caring for his little step-sister, whose been a burr in his butt ever since their folks got married and her lying got him more trips to the woodshed than any body had a right to make. Now Kate's off teaching school, and he's sold the farm. But somehow, going west without her don't seem right at all. The only way he could bring her along is to go ahead and marry her.

Kate's been in love with Johnny since she was six years old. He was the first person to take an interest in her, teaching her right from wrong, and enforcing his lessons with a thorough spanking. But he started acting strange when she grew breasts, and he's practically ignored her for the past two years, after she moved into the schoolteacher's cabin in town. And now he wants her to marry him? It's only been all she's ever wanted, but he didn't say the magic words that would make it every girl's dream come true. He didn't say he loved her.

When the townspeople think Kate's virtue has been compromised, they force Johnny to marry her at gun point. It looks like they both got what they wanted - but what will it take to make them happy?

Ralie Osmond headed the security team for an ambassador who was authorized to make a treaty deal with the natives of a backward, low-tech world. The ambassador was a fool who didn't like the way Ralie ignored his improper orders and his even more improper advances, so he made a secret arrangement that Ralie would not find out about until it was too late.

Thanat id Gandon was the leader of his people for two very good reasons, but patience for smirking, too-independent women wasn't part of his character. He needed Ralie to help out with a nasty problem he had, but mostly he dreamed about the time he'd be able to put her over his knee to teach her some of the manners she hadn't shown during the time she'd spoken to him.

I found this peculiar document in a writing desk I purchased for just a few dollars in a run-down little junk shop in London. The desk was in bad condition, and when I couldn't get one of the drawers open, I resorted to a large pair of scissors, and pried it open. The drawer slides had been jammed by a pile of stained and crumbling pages bundled together with a thin, faded blue ribbon. Old love letters, I thought. How sweet! "The Bridges of Madison County", maybe? I began to see the "New York Times Best Seller List" in my future!

As I began to read, though, I realized that the pages weren't letters at all, but a sort of journal, written maybe a hundred years ago, if you can believe the date. The whole manuscript had taken a lot of water damage and wear, and parts of it were pretty much illegible. It took several months to get the pages straightened out and "translate" the erratic handwriting, although it WAS written in English, by a woman with a fairly good education, a big mouth and a really bad temper.

The writer claims to be related to the famous writer and historian, H.G. Wells, and writes about an amazing voyage through time by the young woman and her husband. I know, ridiculous, right? An effort to crank out a work of science fiction and make a quick buck on the celebrated (and rich) tails of "Uncle Herbert"? Maybe, but there's something about the thing that rings true, and while I'm really not a big believer in time travel, I suppose there's a chance that she was simply crazy as a bedbug. She was certainly a giant pain in the ass, and a major brat, as you'll see when you begin to read. This lady gets herself spanked a LOT, and it sounds like she had most of those spankings coming!

True? Not true? Your guess is as good as mine, but it makes a great read, as they romp through space and time, getting tangled up with cold-blooded killers from the year 3600, blundering back and forth through time from the middle ages to our own mid-town Manhattan, from the old South to ancient Rome, and running into an assortment of characters such as sicko-spacemen and spanking gladiators, Wild Bill Hickock and Henry the Eighth, Barbary pirates and grumpy cave men. Whatever you believe, you won't be bored.

She convinces her Pa to permit her to stay with her best friend Dora until the families meet up again in the settlement a month later to get supplies. A week into the visit, Rebecca is frustrated because Seth doesn’t seem to see her as anything but his sister’s little friend. He’s ignoring her, and it sparks Rebecca’s temper into doing something very foolish indeed. While Seth is taking a swim, she steals his buckskins, and runs away with them. Halfway back to the cabin, common sense prevails, and she leaves them where he will see them, then hurries to put distance between them.

Seth is well aware that his Ma and little sister have hand-picked the pretty little redhead for his wife, and to tell the truth, he’s not adverse to the idea. Still, there is a proper way to go about things, and he would speak to her Pa first, and make sure the man had no objections to leaving his daughter behind. However, when Rebecca swipes his clothes, and leaves him buck naked to face the world, Seth’s ‘hand off’ policy is history. The little brat needs a good spankin’, and he’s just the man for the job.

Robert wants nothing more than to save her butt, so he can teach her a much needed lesson. And Seth’s mother, Faith, learns she isn’t too old for a trip to the woodshed when her husband feels she needs a sharp reminder that he is the head of their household.
