Our ten year anniversary...

Ten years ago today, my husband and I got married. Happy Anniversary, Mr. Lyndon! Oh, and please don't give me that look for calling you Mr. Lyndon!


A few facts about our oh so passionate love affair:

1. I was 16 when I met my husband and he was a few years older, so my mother instantly disliked him. She told me, "Stay away from that boy. He only wants to get in your pants!"

2. At our wedding, the first song we danced to was Sleep by Melissa Etheridge. Give it a listen. It's a beautiful song with lyrics that still bring tears to my eyes.

3. We found out we were expecting baby #1 exactly six months after we got married. We were out to dinner, celebrating the six month mark, and I suddenly didn't feel so well...

4. We have matching tattoos of...snakes! I got mine years ago before we were married, and he got one to match mine for my birthday last year.

5. Even after ten years of marriage and three kids, Mr. Lyndon still wants to get in my pants!

We are celebrating in style tonight by going to see Star Trek: Into Darkness (at the fancy movie theater!) and out for some good Italian food. I'm looking forward to some alone time, and oh yes, to another ten years as well!

RULES OF COMMAND - release day info, a naughty excerpt, + a contest!

Today is release day for Rules of Command ! I think I'll start out with the good stuff - a steamy excerpt from the book:

Heat flared between them as she stopped at his feet and her gaze traveled up to meet his. She was vulnerable and lovely, his little wife. Her lips parted, and the genuine apology that followed stole his breath away once again.

"I am terribly sorry for mocking your title, husband, and for cursing when I know you don’t approve. Please . . . forgive me."

He hauled her up from the floor, gathering her in his arms. "You’re forgiven, princess." He pressed his lips to her forehead, sealing his forgiveness with a kiss. "I meant what I said about taking my belt to you. If you grossly defy me, I won’t hesitate to administer a punishment more severe than a simple hand spanking."

"I understand."

"Good."

John’s cock nudged against her stomach. His hands raked up and down her back as the temperature in the room seemed to rise ten degrees. They had spoken their vows, but now he would claim her fully as his wife. His pulse increased, all the nerve endings in his body on high alert, sizzling in anticipation. She leaned into him, her hands tentatively touching his waist, the bare skin above his boxers. He cupped her bottom, squeezing just hard enough to draw a moan from her throat. Burying his head in her neck, he trailed kisses from her collarbone up to her ear, delighting in the shudders that followed each brush of his lips to her exposed flesh. Her responsiveness spurred him to work faster, and he divested her of the pajama top in a whoosh of fabric falling to the floor.

With each touch, each kiss, he walked her backwards until her legs hit the bed. He pushed her to sit on the edge and knelt on the floor, draping her legs over his shoulders. A groan rumbled from his throat as he focused on her pussy, splaying her lips apart.

"Pretty and pink," he murmured. "Just as I imagined."

He glanced up in time to see her face flush with embarrassment. Jealously, he wondered how many other men had possessed her. Judging from her innate shyness, it could not have been many. Blowing lightly on her clit, he returned his attention to her intimate folds. Her clit pulsed and she arched her back in invitation. He flicked his tongue over her engorged nub.

"Oh!" She jumped.

"You taste divine, princess." He spread her juices around with one finger. Her pussy glistened under his attention. With precise motions, he flicked her pulsing clit as he breathed against her hot center. She was so wet, so ready, and he could hardly wait to sink his cock deep inside her warmth. But first, he wanted her panting. Throbbing and aching for him to fill her up.

He pushed the hood of her hardened nub back and felt her shudder as he lapped over the extra sensitive spot. She writhed on the bed, moaning and arching up to beg for more. Musky and sweet, her scent drove him wild with need and a deep satisfaction that tensed his balls and made his cock harden further. He drew back to gaze upon her swollen clit. It had grown under his attentions, and he planned to make it grow more still. Sealing his lips over her gleaming, pink button, he sucked with an intensity that made her frantic with need. Her hands pounded into the bed, her legs thrashed around his neck, and her keening whimpers threaded with the word please filled the room. A grin of satisfaction spread across his face as he broke the suction on her nub. Oh yes, she was ready. So sweet, so hot, and so ready to accept his cock deep between her thighs. This was much better than forcing her. Much better than ordering her to lie still because it was her wifely duty.

"Beautiful," he said. "Now, your clit is all swollen and red, just like your bottom."


Rules of Command blurb:

His prisoner...his wife...his passion.

Love is the last thing on Commander John Rousseau's mind when he claims an American woman as his wife. He's simply following orders - although he is drawn to Emma's soft skin and sweet nature, despite her outspoken reluctance to accept him as her husband. Determined to tame her, he promises to spank her for disobedience, and she soon finds out he's a man of his word.

As Emma comes to grips with her marriage to a strict Free Island soldier and struggles to obey his many rules, she finds her heart softening to him. John holds her at a distance at first, but as the passion between them flares, a deep intimacy and mutual trust takes root. An impending battle finally prompts confessions of love...but will it be too late for these unlikely lovers?

Note: Rules of Command is a companion book to Rules of War . It's the same story, completely rewritten, with some different scenes, told from John's point of view. It's an erotic romance with spanking and elements of bdsm.

Rules of Command is available on Amazon US, Amazon UK, and Barnes and Noble.

How about a contest? Just leave a comment (with your email address, if I don't already have it) for a chance to win a $5 Amazon giftcard. I'll pick the winner on Monday, June 10th, so you have until midnight on Sunday the 9th to enter.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

John rescues Emma - an excerpt from RULES OF COMMAND

Months ago, after Rules of War was released, Staci from Lazy Day asked if I'd thought of writing a sequel. I'd already given it some thought, but I decided I wanted to write a companion book to Rules of War instead...to tell the same story, but from John's POV this time. I told Staci about my idea and said the book would be called Rules of Command. She liked the idea, so I got to writing!

Rules of Command will release tomorrow, and I'm so so excited about this book. It's the first time I've written a book entirely from the hero's POV, and I really bonded with John throughout the process. Many secrets the reader isn't privy to in Rules of War are revealed in Rules of Command, and my favorite part of the book is the very end - an epilogue that shows what Emma and John are up to two years after the end of both books.

Here's an excerpt from Rules of Command:

Breathing through the smoke, he crouched down as the building collapsed, waiting for the thunderous tremors to stop so he could sweep the scene one last time. Anyone trapped inside was likely dead, but he felt obligated to help if someone was buried alive. He held no grudge against American civilians, and throughout his missions up and down the East Coast, he had come to consider many of them friends. Free Islanders and Americans shared the same goal – for the war to end as soon as possible. Peace loomed in the distance like a whispered promise. A beautiful promise. It was close. So close. John suspected he would not see battle again once he returned to Deep Creek. And that was fine by him.

His goggles zeroed in on an unmoving orange-red form inside the smoldering building. One survivor. Instinct and training propelled him forward. He slipped on his protective gloves and an oxygen mask, watching as Martin and Luke did the same. The three of them worked as a team, crawling through a window and searching for the best passage to the orange-red glow. Many of the walls still stood, and John led the way through the rubble as the structure creaked, threatening to collapse around them at any moment.

The glow of the body drew closer, until only a wall separated John from it. Luke pulled a strong handheld laser from his pocket, and John nodded his approval. A short blue flame cut a man-size hole cut in the wall, and Luke curled his gloved hands into fists and punched it out. John jumped through the entrance first. He immediately spotted the slumped form on the floor.

Rushing to the survivor, he gently turned her over on her back. Long blonde curls fell from her face. A thin nightgown was bunched up around her waist, and a bruise was forming on her forehead. Her eyes were clamped shut, though he detected a faint pulse. Working fast, he removed an emergency oxygen mask from his supply belt and placed it over her nose and mouth.

"It’s going to be okay," he said, scooping her up in his arms. "Let’s get you out of here, princess."

You don't need to read Rules of War to understand what's going on in Rules of Command. The two books can stand alone, but if you're interested in hearing Emma's version of events, you can find Rules of War on Amazon US, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, All Romance, and Lazy Day Publishing.

See you tomorrow with another excerpt from Rules of Command...and maybe, just maybe, a chance to win an Amazon giftcard!

A STRICT HUSBAND now available on Amazon!

My latest release, A Strict Husband, is now available on Amazon. It was released by Blushing Books on June 1st as part of their 'Here Come the Brides Month'. A Strict Husband is a historical western spanking romance, and it's the sequel to A Firm Husband , but the two books can stand alone.

A Strict Husband blurb:

In a moment of anger, Mattie's brother, Elliot, promises to find her a strict husband who won't put up with any of her childish nonsense. Mattie is reluctant to leave the Wyoming ranch she grew up on, and she's devastated to learn Elliot wants her to marry an older man from Cheyenne.

Torn away from the only life she's ever known, she is wed to the owner of the local general store, a widower named Henry Riley who is nearly twice her age. Despite her anger over the forced marriage, Mattie strives to obey Henry in all things, especially after he threatens her with a spanking on their wedding night. Of course, it isn't long before Mattie discovers that obeying her new husband isn't so easy after all.

Henry never planned to take a second wife, but when he's offered Mattie's hand in marriage, it's a temptation he can't resist. Sweet and young, but with a wild streak he aims to tame, he's grateful for another chance at love and happiness.

But when the brother of the man who shot Henry's first wife is spotted in Cheyenne, his newfound marital bliss is threatened. As the sheriff tries to hunt down the terror known as Big Lennie, Henry strives to keep Mattie out of harms way. Will Henry and Mattie prevail over the gunslinger with a grudge? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?

Excerpt:

Legs turned to liquid, Mattie struggled to follow Henry through the house as he gave her a quick tour through the darkness. By the light of a lantern, it seemed homey yet larger than she imagined. Until today she’d only glimpsed his home from the outside. Her eyes widened when he turned to face her at the bottom of the staircase. Silence permeated the house as he held her captive in his powerful gaze. She gulped as anxiety surged through her.

“Do not be afraid, Mattie.”

She stuck her chip up. “I’m not afraid of anything.” The lie tasted bitter and she momentarily feared his reaction to her haughtiness.

A grin spread across his face. “You’re not a very good liar, Mattie. I suggest you learn quickly to tell the truth, otherwise you’ll be facing some rather unpleasant consequences.”

There it was. His first threat and proof that Elliot had in fact paired her with a cruel man.

She huffed. “Fine. You want the truth? Elliot wanted to punish me, so he decided to marry me off before I was ready – without giving me a say in who my husband is. I hardly know you. Of course I’m afraid.” She bit her bottom lip to stop its trembling. Feeling powerless and vulnerable at the same time had her coming undone.

The lantern he held flickered yellow light over his features as she held her breath, waiting and waiting and waiting for a response. The dark blue eyes she’d admired earlier appeared pitch black. She gasped when he grabbed her wrist and began leading her upstairs.

Saturday Spankings: A peek at A Strict Husband - new release!

Welcome to Saturday Spankings!


Today I'm sharing a snippet from my brand spanking new release, A Strict Husband (Wyoming Heat #2). In the following scene, Mattie and Henry were just married and are leaving her brother's ranch behind soon, and Mattie is nervous about her new life...


Lunch was served outside. It was all a blur to Mattie, the food tasteless and the conversation seemingly in another language. Trancelike, she tried to focus on the future. In the blink of an eye, her whole life had changed. In a short while, she would climb in a wagon and travel into town as Henry’s new bride. Instead of helping to take care of a ranch, she would live in town and have a new set of responsibilities. Her heart panged at the thought of failure. How patient would Henry be as she became accustomed to his ways?

A Strict Husband is book 2 in my Wyoming Heat series. A Firm Husband is book 1. I'm planning to eventually write a third book in this series with Mattie's brother and his wife.

You can find A Strict Husband (Wyoming Heat #2) on the Blushing Books site, and it'll be up on Amazon and Barnes and Noble shortly.

RULES OF COMMAND releases in one week!

June really crept up on me, but I'm not complaining because I have a new book coming out next Wednesday, June 5th! Yay! I've been kind of quiet since January when I had a few back-to-back releases. Honestly, I got overwhelmed and I needed a break from social media and even writing. Well, I kept writing, but I spent more time on a sci fi novel I'm writing under another name than on Sue's stuff. The break was refreshing, but I'm ready to get my spank back on and hopefully crank out some stories this summer.

Back to my upcoming release...Rules of Command. It's a spanking romance novella with a dystopian flare, and it's the same-ish story as Rules of War, but written totally from John's POV. If you've read Rules of War, then you know it was solely from Emma's POV. Rules of Command can stand alone, however, and it's also different enough from Rules of War that readers will (hopefully!) not get bored reading the same story over again. I think John's perspective is unique, and there are many different scenes included. And my favorite part of the book is the epilogue that shows what John and Emma are up to about two years after the end of the book.

Rules of Command will be my third release with the amazing folks at Lazy Day Publishing. Rules of War was the first, and Coming to Terms was the second.


Here's the blurb for Rules of Command:


His prisoner...his wife...his passion.

Love is the last thing on Commander John Rousseau's mind when he claims an American woman as his wife. He's simply following orders - although he is drawn to Emma's soft skin and sweet nature, despite her outspoken reluctance to accept him as her husband. Determined to tame her, he promises to spank her for disobedience, and she soon finds out he's a man of his word.

Saturday Spankings: The threat that starts it all...

Last week in my work-in-progress, "Amanda's Story", Ivan was thinking about how much he wants to paddle Amanda, his employee, for not following the rules and setting off the alarm in his jewelry store. He'd already taken a peek at her e-reader and knew she liked to read kinky books, but he's not sure if she wants to act out her fantasies in real life. He decides to find out by giving her options...


His gaze darkened and he was silent for a moment, just staring at her like he wanted to eat her. He leaned down, and for a split second Amanda thought he was going to kiss her. Instead, he tightened his hold on her forearms, pressed her more firmly against the wall, and said, “You’d better be on time for work tomorrow, young lady. I mean it. If you’re late, even a minute late, you will be punished.”

“P – punished?” she echoed, not quite believing.

“Yes, punished. If you’re late for work tomorrow morning, I’ll bend you over my desk and give you a good, hard spanking on your bare bottom, Amanda.”

She half whimpered, half moaned.
