I’m excited to share that I have a new release called Corralling Callie, a historical western romance with plenty of discipline/spanking. I loved writing these characters. Orphaned Callie has a tendency to lie, steal, and cause lots of trouble, but she is also quite endearing. Stagecoach driver Jude is just the man to deal with her unruly behavior and give her the love and discipline she’s always needed. Please enjoy this snippet.
“I’ll not have you running off, worrying me and delaying our trip.” Smack!
“I’ll stay with the others!” she promised in a wail.
“That you will, young lady.” He smacked the low curve of her bottom especially hard. “Otherwise, you’ll be spending the entire trip sitting on a smarting bottom. Is that what you want?”
“No,” she hiccupped, hating that tears were coursing down her face. She watched one drip on the ground next to Jude’s dusty boot. In addition to feeling pained, she also felt terribly angry and betrayed. She thought Jude was her friend, but instead of being friendly, he was giving her a very painful spanking. She thought he liked her, but he mustn’t think much of her at all if he felt inclined to cause her such agony.
Jude stopped spanking. He ran his hand over her scorched backside and rested it on her thigh. “One more thing. The senator is bellowing that you stole his pocket watch. I really don’t want to believe him.”
His touch felt gentle now, and she might have relaxed had it not been for his statement. Her heart sank, and she deeply regretted her impulsive theft. She searched for the words to say but couldn’t find them. Jude hadn’t exactly asked her if she’d taken the watch, and she certainly wasn’t going to offer him a confession, which as good as guaranteed more time in her current position. Callie remained silent, figuring that was the safest option.
Jude sighed heavily, then righted her skirts and planted her on her feet in front of him. He held her arms and studied her, frowning. “Think you can behave now?”
Callie shrugged out of his grasp and swiped at her tears with the backs of her hands. “I hate you.” The words were spoken hesitantly in a trembling voice. She worried the pronouncement might get her spanked again, but it was the only thing she wanted to say to him.
Jude’s eyebrows lifted. “You can hate me, darlin’. What you can’t do is disobey me.”

I’ve got a new book coming out next weekend! Please enjoy this “spanking game” teaser from it.
“The rules are simple. I’m going to ask you some questions, and you’re going to answer. For each lie, you get punished, but for each truth you get rewarded. Are you ready?”
She shifted again over his lap. “May I ask a question first?”
“Of course, darlin’.”
“I know what the punishment is, but… what’s the reward?”
“That’s a good question, baby.” He wrapped his hand around her thigh and gently pulled her leg to him, revealing her sex to his view.
A little more about the story:
Jude is a stagecoach driver used to encountering trouble in the form of bandits, treacherous roads, and poor weather during his journeys across half of the country. However, he’s never run into trouble quite like what he experiences with Callie Broderick, an orphaned teenager and mail-order bride who leaves her home in Saint Louis to travel to Sacramento, intent on meeting her future husband, a wealthy miner who pays for her journey west. Callie is a liar and a thief, with a dirty mouth and petulant disposition. Beneath all that, however, is a sweet girl who wants nothing more to be loved. Jude might just be the man to give her the discipline and love she needs.
Look for it August 20!

Today I’m sharing an excerpt from my soon-to-be-released book, which is currently in the editing stage at the publishers. I’m super excited about this western domestic discipline story. If you like a strong, loving hero and a naughty heroine in need of both tenderness and spanking, you’re going to love this book. Jude is a stagecoach driver responsible for transporting passengers across half the country, and Callie is a young mail-order bride traveling west to meet her fiancé. She’s smart, unruly, and keeps the driver on his toes from day one. Of course, things don’t work out according to either of their plans, but I think you’ll be happy with the results. Enjoy the snippet!
Excerpt
“Hold still,” he admonished when she fidgeted nervously in anticipation of the first stroke. “You’re not to move from this position until your punishment is over, understand?”
She settled immediately. A meek “yes, sir” reached his ears.
He took a deep breath. He didn’t want to spank her too hard, just enough for her to know he was serious and to make her think before behaving foolishly in the future. He drew back his arm and snapped the belt across the seat of her dress with moderate force. She let out a small yelp but remained in place.
“Good.” Although he spoke the word to praise her for taking the lick without moving, he also praised himself for inflicting enough pain to cause a reaction but not enough to tempt her to break position.
If you’re interested, you can read a couple more excerpts from this book here and here. And follow me on Amazon to get an alert when it’s been released!

When thinking about which excerpt to use for Saturday Spankings this week, I decided I wanted to post something involving Carter, who is arguably my sweetest hero. However, as I was perusing the books he shows up in (all three in the Lone Star Love series), I was reminded that despite his mild nature, he’s still not a man to be tested. The following is an excerpt from The Unbraiding of Anna Brown, in which that is quite clear. Enjoy!
“Bend over the bed and lift up your skirt and petticoat.”
“Oh, Carter,” she cried. She moved her body into his and placed a hand on his chest. “Will you not even hold me in your lap while punishing me? Are you that angry with me?”
Carter remained as hard and immobile as a brick wall. “Yes, I am. Do as I say.” Seeing the injured look on her face, he added, “I will hold you plenty after your punishment, Anna, make no mistake about that.”
She backed away from him, turned, and bent over the bed. She arranged her skirt and petticoat over her back. Carter looked at her drawers and without a word pulled the tie that released the thin material from her backside as she buried her face into the thick quilt. Carter unbuckled his belt and drew it out from the loops of his pants. Anna’s head shot up at the noise. She looked back at him as he folded the belt in two.
“Please, Carter. Surely what I did wasn’t so grievous as to earn me a whipping.”
“It was, and I’ll be sure to explain why as you feel each kiss of my belt. Put your hands out in front of you, palms down on the bed.”
You can find the blurb and first chapter free on my blog here.
Today I’m back with Trapper Jack and naughty Nettie from Claimed by the Mountain Man. Jack is an uncompromising man who finds himself falling for Nettie, a woman running from her past and doing all she can to remain independent. The following excerpt is a good example of both his fierceness and compassion when it comes to the runaway woman. Enjoy!
“Are you going to lie to me again, Nettie?” He gave her another hard swat to punctuate his question.
“No, Trapper Jack.”
“Good.” He moved his hand to the place where her bottom and thighs met and gave her two sharp swats on each side. “I’m growing quite fond of you. So much so that if you do anything to put yourself in danger again, I’ll take a switch to you.”
She gasped at that piece of information. He gathered a fistful of her short hair in his hand, lifted her head, and pointed it in the direction of a tree. “See that tree over there, the one with yellow leaves?”
“Y-yes.”
“I’ll make you go cut a switch from it and I’ll wear it out on your bare backside. That’ll leave welts and stripes. You want me to do that to you, woman?”
“No!”
“Then you listen to what I say and think twice about lying in the future. Got it?”

A Little about Sunstrokes
Four authors bring you four stories sure to light up your summer like fireworks on the 4th of July. Some are sweet, some are spicy, and all are a spanking good time.
When Dom and Heidi go camping, their D/s relationship is put to the test. How will their dynamic work while they’re on vacation? Meredith and Paolo heat up the pages in their summer romp in Florida, where sex and spankings are as plentiful as the sand under the boardwalk. Cass and Killian, the Alaskan couple who are always good for a laugh, agree to be filmed for Cass’s new show, but their relationship isn’t quite normal according to the average American viewer. Finally, newly married Anna and Carter simmer in silent misunderstanding until sparks fly, giving one of them a warmed bottom and both a renewed love for each other.
Hello, and welcome to my blog. It’s time for Saturday Spankings, and I’ve got another excerpt from my book Claimed by the Mountain Man. This is some “funishment” that took place after naughty Nettie tried to orgasm before Trapper Jack deemed it time. Enjoy!
She leaned back slowly, her heart fluttering wildly. Her bound wrists behind her back served to prop her lower body up and give him perfect access to her sex when her legs fell apart naturally.
“Greedy girls get punished here,” he said huskily, sliding his finger along her slit. He slapped her pussy, and she jumped. The feeling was intense—pain and pleasure warred for the strongest sensation. She both dreaded and longed for the next swat. He spanked her again lightly, and the impact of his hand against her cream made a distinctly wet slapping sound. The slaps increased in speed, not in force, but the ache built with every slap. She moaned and twisted, desperate for relief from the sweet torture. “Please,” she begged. “Please stop and fill me now.”
His hand settled and cupped her possessively. “Do you think you’ve learned your lesson?” he asked roughly.
“Yes,” she rasped and looked into his eyes, which were dark with lust.
He landed another smack. “I don’t know that you have. Four more.” The last four slaps were sharp and caused her to cry out. Just as her cries were dying, he turned her around and surged into her pussy from behind, bringing another cry from her lips, this time of sheer pleasure.
It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for spankings! I’ve got a snippet to share from my story that is included in an anthology with fellow authors Maisy Archer, Jane Henry, and Susannah Shannon. In this anthology, called Sunstrokes: Four Hot Tales of Punishment and Pleasure, we each wrote a story about characters from our previous novels. I chose to write about Anna and Carter from my Lone Star Love series. Hope you enjoy!
“Are you going to obey me from now on, Anna Barnes?” he asked, ramming into her hard.
Her breath hitched. “Yes, sir,” she whispered.
Her submissive response elicited a predatory growl from him. Carter slapped her bottom and grabbed on. Clutching her well-spanked cheeks, he said, “Believe me, I’ll punish this naughty bottom of yours if you don’t. Next time with my belt.”
He felt the shiver go through her and her cunt tighten around his cock. She stared at him, her eyes hazy with need and desire.
“My bad little angel,” Carter said, gazing into her eyes with a wicked grin, knowing his threat of punishment had brought her that much closer to release.
Carter leaned against her, flattening her breasts with his hard chest. “Come for me, darlin’,” he coaxed in a soft voice against her neck as he continued to stretch and fill her, his piercing rhythm as demanding as his voice was gentle.

Hello! For those of you who missed it, my latest book, Claimed by the Mountain Man, was released this weekend by the fabulous team of people at Stormy Night Publications. This book was so fun to write. I normally can’t pinpoint the exact inspiration for writing a story. Usually it comes to me in pieces during a brainstorming session, but in the case of this book, the idea come to me quite suddenly. More about that later. First, here’s a little about the book.
About Claimed by the Mountain Man
Times are hard in Montana in the mid-1800s, and when Nettie finds herself impoverished, desperate, and alone after the death of her husband, she flees the town of Helena to escape the clutches of the local saloon owner. But living off the land quickly proves much more difficult than she’d hoped, and after days without food she resorts to stealing from Jack Abrams, a gruff mountain man and trapper who lives a secluded, uncomplicated life in the woods.
Jack doesn’t take kindly to being stolen from and when he catches her red-handed, Nettie ends up lying naked over his knee for a long, hard spanking. To her surprise, however, after her punishment Jack offers her food and shelter in return for cooking, cleaning, and doing as she is told. But Nettie is determined to never rely on a man again, and with a belly full of food and renewed determination, she abandons him to take another shot at living in the woods on her own.
Jack knows the headstrong girl won’t survive without his help, especially when she chooses a grizzly’s winter cave as her shelter, and he can’t stand by and idly watch her demise. When his irritation with her foolish pride boils over, he decides it is time to show her how thoroughly a man can dominate a woman silly enough to venture into the woods alone. Jack’s stern chastisement and bold mastery of her body leave Nettie begging for more, but is she truly ready to give up her freedom to be claimed by the mountain man?
Publisher’s Note: Claimed by the Mountain Man is an erotic romance novel that contains sexual scenes and spankings. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.
My Inspiration
All right, so I promised I’d share my inspiration for this story. Don’t laugh. It came to me while listening to a Dolly Parton song called Joshua. Some of the lyrics are as follows:
Well a good ways down the railroad track There was this little old rundown shack And in it lived a man I’d never seen Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man And you better not set foot on his land I didn’t think nobody could be that mean So I took me out walking down the railroad track I was a-gonna go down to that little old shack And just find out if all them things I’d heard was true
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard And it growled at me and I swallowed hard And I heard somebody say ‘well who are you?’ Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack His beard and his hair was long and black And he was the biggest man I’d ever seen
Joshua Joshua Whatcha doing living here all alone? Joshua Joshua Ain’t you got nobody to call your own?
Dolly doesn’t expound on why Joshua is living alone or why people think he’s mean, so I got to thinking: What kind of man would choose to live a secluded life? What had people done to him that made him want to avoid them?
A backstory for my hero, Trapper Jack, formed in my mind, and he became very real to me. Jack had been to war and suffered trauma, witnessed cruelty, and came home to his wife being dead and buried before he could tell her what she meant to him. He is damaged, tortured by guilt, and not at all wanting or expecting a new woman to enter his life. Jack is not a nice man, but you might be convinced eventually that he’s a good man.
Then I thought about my heroine. What would compel a woman to approach a man with a mean and vicious reputation? It dawned on me that she would have to be desperate for something, and in the case of the story I wrote, Nettie was desperate for food. Nettie’s backstory revealed itself to me too, and as you’ll see if you read the book, her past haunts her, just as Trapper Jack’s past haunts him. Together, these two lonely souls find in each other what they need. Of course, it takes them a while to get there, but I think you’ll find that their journey is exciting. In addition to a love story, this is a story of two people who manage to survive in the wild woods of Montana after having survived everything that led them there. Oh, and there’s some steamy sex too!
Here’s a little bit of what goes on in their journey to love and a happily ever after.
***
Excerpt
He drew a deep breath before he spoke. “What’s not right is you insisting on living there in that cave instead of here. I’ve only reluctantly permitted it.”
Nettie’s temper flared. She temporarily forgot her desire for him. All she could think of in that moment was that she was once again at another’s man mercy. “Permitted it? You’ve permitted nothing,” she said angrily. “I have every right to stay where I please. It’s not your right to permit or forbid it.” She glared up at him.
Jack’s face hardened, and she saw a tick in his jaw to indicate he was gritting his teeth. He pivoted away from her and in one stride reached the stool by the table, where he sat. Nettie returned to spooning food onto the plate. She felt his eyes on her, watching her every move. Her feelings were conflicted. She had been worried that he didn’t care about her. Now that she had confirmation he cared enough to spy on her, she felt like all of her efforts were in vain. She wanted to be self-sufficient, and the fact that Jack checked in on her meant that she wasn’t.
She didn’t want to look at him, fearing she would burst into tears from the emotions raging inside of her. With her eyes lowered, she brought the plate of food to the table and set it down in front of him. When she let go of the plate, he captured her wrist suddenly, with the speed of a mountain lion. Nettie gasped and met his heated gaze.
Jack’s dark eyes flashed with fury, and when he spoke, his voice was low and dangerous. “You don’t have rights out here, woman. Here, the weak are at the mercy of the strong, and that makes me your master.”
Nettie felt outraged by his words. She tried to pull away, but he continued to hold her wrist in an iron grip. It wasn’t tight enough to hurt, but it was unyielding. He stood slowly and loomed over her. His face twisted into a scowl as he took steps forward that made her take steps back until she was flush against the wall. He captured her other wrist and pinned both in one of his hands, then held them uncomfortably high over her head against the splintering logs of the cabin’s wall. Her breathing became ragged. She stared into his eyes and felt a hunger she hadn’t felt for a long time. “I know you wouldn’t harm me,” she croaked.
“Do you?” he snarled.
She let out a whimper. She wasn’t afraid. Not really. She felt alive and on edge, wondering what his next move would be. His hand trailed along her neck down to her breast, which he squeezed and flattened with his palm.
“I’ve been too easy on you.” He pinched her peaked nipple through her shirt, with enough pressure to make her cry out. “You think there’s no cause to fear me, but you’re wrong about that.”
Nettie closed her eyes. She felt frantic with lust. She needed his whole body to press against hers. She wanted him to kiss her as roughly as he was speaking to her. “Why do you want me to fear you?” she asked in a tremulous voice.
Jack released her wrists. She felt bereft of his touch when he took a short step back, but that feeling didn’t last long. He took hold of her arm, dragged her to the bed and shoved her onto her stomach. He yanked down her trousers and ripped off her drawers with terrifying speed. With lengths of rope he’d apparently picked up on the way to the bed, he bound an ankle to one bedpost and repeated the motions for the other. It happened so fast and came as such a surprise that it didn’t occur to Nettie to try to break free until it was too late—not that she would have been successful, had she tried.
He pulled her hands forward and tied them to the bed as well. There she lay, spread eagle and naked from the waist down. Her open legs allowed a breeze of cool air to brush her sex, and the muscles there constricted, desperate for something to fill it.
Before she knew it, she was alone in the cabin. Jack had left her there, and she had no idea where he went or when he would return. Her heart beat heavily in her chest. After what seemed like an eternity, the cabin door opened, and what she saw sent her heart racing even faster. In his hand was a switch the length of her arm and the width of one of her fingers. Her stomach flopped as he approached her. “Please, Trapper Jack. Why are you doing this?” she whispered.
