Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I’m excited to share an excerpt from my book Fetching Charlotte Rose, which is out now from Stormy Night Publications. There’s some sweet and sexy spanking, along with some well-deserved punishments in this book. Our heroine’s sharp tongue and recklessness make for some painful trips over our no-nonsense hero’s knee.
About Fetching Charlotte Rose
As soon as she steps off the train into the hot western sun, Charlotte Rose wonders if she has made a mistake. Leaving Boston to take a job as the schoolmarm of the small town of Weston, Arizona had seemed like a good idea, but the man sent to fetch her from the station almost changes her mind. The handsome but uncivilized brute who introduces himself as Max Harrison not only calls Charlotte by her first name, he even demands that she change her outfit.
Her humiliation is complete when, after ignoring his advice to put on something more suitable for the summer weather, she faints from the heat. To her utter shame, Charlotte is forced to endure being undressed down to her underthings to cool down, and worse still, Max warns her in no uncertain terms that any further foolishness will earn her a sound spanking on her bare bottom. Yet somehow, despite his threat to chastise her in such a barbaric fashion, Charlotte cannot deny that being in Max’s presence sets her heart fluttering like nothing ever has before.
Though she may be the feistiest woman he has ever laid eyes on, Max finds himself longing to see more of Charlotte—much more, in fact—and when he discovers that she feels the same way, he sets about courting her. But Weston is a very different place from Boston, and Max makes it clear to Charlotte that he will do whatever needs doing to keep his girl safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a good, hard spanking as often as her behavior warrants it.
Charlotte’s love for Max grows deeper with each passing day, but she cannot help wondering if he sees her as nothing more than a silly girl in need of his constant protection, and matters come to a head when a violent, hateful man with a grudge against Max seeks to disrupt their lives. Will Charlotte’s pride be her undoing, or will she finally get the chance to prove herself to Max?
Excerpt
Upon buttoning the last of the buttons up to her chest, she addressed him in hesitant tone, knowing her words would displease him and unsure about the wisdom of doing so. “I will leave my petticoat on, Mr. Harrison. This dress is improper otherwise.”
For an awful moment, there was no sound or movement. Then she saw his shadow appear near the back of the buggy and shortly after Max himself approaching her wearing a fierce scowl. He stopped a horse length away.
“Foolish woman! If you possess a lick of sense, you will remove your petticoat. Then you will obey any other order I give you from now until I get you home. Give me any more trouble before then, and I’ll turn you over my knee. And so help me, there won’t be a petticoat, or a dress, or anything else between my hand and your high-and-mighty backside when I spank some common sense into you.”
Poor Charlotte is going to learn that the men in the west aren’t all that concerned about courtly manners and are unopposed to turning a misbehaving woman’s nose to the ground. If you’d like to read the entire first chapter, click here.
Thanks for visiting. I look forward to hopping on over to your blogs for more sexy spanks. Have a great weekend!

Ooh – “high – and – mighty backside” … I like that! 🙂

Coming from Boston to the wild west would be like us traveling to the moon – such a difference! But once she learns to do some listening I think she’ll like the west much better.

I agree with PK, though I’m not sure what objection he has to her wearing her petticoats other than the fact he must have told her to take them off. Then again, what’s considered indecent in Boston (view of an ankle or a bit of petticoat showing) men wouldn’t even take notice of in the west. Charlotte has a lot to learn, but she’ll adapt. Great excerpt, Amelia.

Ah yes, it probably seems odd out of context that he’s insisting on her removing her petticoat. The thing is, she was wearing three petticoats and then passed out from heatstroke. He had to cool her down and now wants to keep her that way. 🙂

Now that I read your comment on her passing our from heatstroke, this scene makes a lot more sense and I love the protectiveness!
