His by Law blurb:
When Lucia is caught trespassing in Jackson McNabe’s home, she fears he’ll turn her over to the constable. With the holidays approaching and the nights growing colder, she had only wished to warm herself by his fire and pretend for a few minutes that she was the lady of the grand house, rather than a homeless girl stranded in a peculiar village. Though she hadn’t meant to break the law, she now finds herself at the mercy of a handsome stranger whose deep, commanding voice makes her heart flutter and her pulse quicken.
Jackson is taken in by Lucia’s wide, pretty blue eyes, and he sees the young lady’s sudden appearance in his home as an opportunity. He needs a wife, and Lucia clearly needs a husband. To his delight, she agrees to his terms, even when he tells her he expects obedience and won’t hesitate to spank her bare bottom when she misbehaves. The thought of owning her by law makes his blood heat, but a sinister plot threatens the legitimacy of their union, on their wedding day no less. Will Jackson and Lucia find their way back into one another’s arms in time for the holidays?
Publisher’s Note: This book was originally published in the naughty holiday anthology, Unwrapped.

Rescuing Ruby Red by Maggie Ryan #newrelease #western #erotic #bdsm #romance
Rescuing Ruby Red by Maggie Ryan, the second book in the Red Petticoat series from Blushing Books, is live on Amazon! This is a fabulous western romance that I enjoyed very much. Don't miss it!
Blurb:

Jebidiah Justice spent much of his youth avoiding the little red-head. Even his constant threats to tan her hide did nothing to sway the little pest to better behavior. Now, as the sheriff of Culpepper Cove, avoidance is no longer possible. On the night he catches her red-handed breaking and entering, he has to make a choice. Can he force himself to arrest the girl he remembers or will he lose his heart in rescuing the woman she’s become?
Rebekah becomes Ruby, the newest gem at the saloon, finding a home and a sense of family she craves. The only thing standing between her and her red petticoat is a man who refuses to call her anything but Red and warns her that if she puts so much as a pinky toe on those stairs, the only red thing under her skirts will be the hue he paints across her backside. And, this time, she had a feeling that he isn’t just threatening.
Will the two leave the past behind and make a future together or will their chance of happiness be taken away?
Excerpt:
“I’m not a thief!” she began again only to stop as her stomach clutched when she attempted to curl her hand into a fist. The pain had her whimpering.
“Shh, be still,” Jeb said. “Let’s worry about that after Doc fixes you up.” When she began to struggle, he moved one hand to slap against the back of her skirt. “Be still. I don’t want any glass on your clothing to cut you. You need to be still until we can get your dress off…”
“Fuck that,” Rebekah hissed, “you can’t…” Another swat of his hand changed the direction of her thoughts. “Stop swatting me! Put me down!”
“No,” Jeb said, easily adjusting his hold as he strode down the dark street towards the jail. “I said we’d discuss this later, but I’m warning you; if I hear you cursing again, I’ll be doing a great deal more than popping your behind.” A third swat demonstrated his sincerity as she squirmed again before stilling.
Rebekah didn’t know which was worse, the throbbing in her hand or the threat of being spanked by the sheriff. She didn’t remember him being so… big. No, not big; he was huge, carrying her as easily as if she weighed no more than a feather. It wasn’t until he pushed through the door of the jail that another fear flooded through her. She’d never been inside the building before and the sight of a pair of cells, one door open waiting to swallow her whole and to lock her away from freedom had her head swimming and her pulse racing. The soft whimpers she’d been issuing turned into a much louder moan as fear gripped her insides.

Maggie Ryan Author Bio:
Author for Blushing Books. I write both contemporary erotica and historical spanking romances. I enjoy writing about characters that enjoy the provocative D/S lifestyle of today’s times as well as taking a step back into the past to write stories that take place in the Victorian era with age-play as a theme.
I live in the great Lone Star state with my wonderful husband. I have always loved reading. Growing up in a family with four children, it was difficult finding a place to be alone. I was probably one of the squeakiest clean girls on the planet as I would spend hours in the tub so I could read without being bothered. It wasn’t long before I began to make up my own endings to the books I was reading. From there, it just seemed natural to begin writing my own stories.
I never try to restrict myself to any one genre because there are just too many delicious possibilities out there and inside my head. I admit to being somewhat of a romantic though as my stories always must have a great deal of love, passion, corporal discipline and, of course, great, mind-blowing sex. I want my readers to be able to see, hear, feel and know the characters that I’m creating as well as I do when I bring them to life and transfer their stories to paper. I want my women to be strong of character but also strong enough to know that submission given in love and trust to your partner does not make you weaker, it makes you far stronger. I want my men to be sexy, strong, demanding alpha males who know how to take what they want while acknowledging it is a gift they have been blessed with by the women that have chosen to submit to them. I want there to be no doubt that they truly would die for the other no matter how others might view their relationship.

Educating His Bride by @CaraBristol #historical #spanking #romance
Please welcome Cara Bristol today! She's here with an excerpt from her 1950s spanking romance, Educating His Bride, that you won't want to miss. Preorder it today and it'll be delivered to you on release day--April 11th!
***
Educating His Bride Blurb:
From college coed to professor’s naughty bride…
It’s the 1950s. Never much interested in her studies, Margaret Atwater attends college hoping to graduate with an Mrs. degree instead of a bachelor’s. When she catches the eye of English Professor Henry Thurston, she’s thrilled to marry him, drop out of school, and begin a new life as a married woman and faculty wife. However, Henry is a kinky man who has much to teach his eager young bride—in, and out, of the bedroom. As Mrs. Henry Thurston, Margaret’s sexual education has just begun.
Excerpt:
In this scene, college student Margaret has received a bad grade on her English paper. But a bad grade isn’t all she’s going to get.
Dejected, she slid into a vacant desk, still warm from another student’s derriere. She thumbed through her essay. Cliché.More analysis needed. What about…. Red-inked comments in a masculine scrawl spilled across every single one of the eight pages she’d typed so beautifully. Didn’t typing count for anything?Her heart sank to the soles of her rounded-toe baby-doll pumps. She’d waited until the night before the due date to write the paper, but she deserved better than a D! And she intended to tell Professor Thurston so.After the last student left, he gestured to the door. “Shall we go?”She preceded him into the hall. “Do you have a class now?” he asked.“No. My next period is free.”“Good. We have time to talk.”They exited Delmar Hall, named for an alumnus patron, and strolled down the walkway over rolling grassy hills dotted with stately oaks and flowering shrubs. A few stubborn blossoms clung to dogwood trees outside the library. Over a knoll, she spotted the Whitmore Building.Some students glanced their way, a few who knew the professor greeted him, but mostly people ignored them. Margaret clutched her notebook to her chest. “You grade me harder than you do everyone else.”“Please hold the discussion until we’re in my office.”They entered Whitmore and climbed the stairs to the second floor. She waited while he checked with the secretary for messages then they proceeded to his office around the corridor. Two black nameplates lettered in white read, Asst. Professor Thurston and Asst. Professor Abernathy. He unlocked the door and motioned for her to enter.The small office contained two battered wooden desks, the left one buried under a hazardous mountain of paper and academic debris, the one on the right neat as a pin. A tall shelving unit, shared by both professors, sagged under the weight of well-used literature and reference volumes. A wall clock ticked.“Have a seat.” The professor shut the door and assumed his place behind the neat desk.She perched on the edge of a straight-back chair, ankles together, and adjusted her skirt over her knees.The man she loved steepled his fingers. “Now, tell me why you believe I grade you harder than anybody else.”She wet her lips. “Because you do.” “My standards are no more exacting for you than they are for any other student. I expect excellence from each of you.” “I’m sorry. I’ll try harder.”He flipped open a record book and ran his finger down a list. “As it stands now, your grade is a shaky C minus. If you don’t do well on the final next week, you run the risk of getting a D in the course.” He snapped the grade book closed. “We had a discussion after your last paper, did we not?”“Yes.”“I believe I warned you what the consequences would be if you failed to get at least a B.” He opened his middle desk drawer.Yes, they’d talked about—but he couldn’t be serious. He withdrew a thick, heavy eighteen-inch measuring stick. “Lock the office door, please.”

Captured by the Cyborg: Character Sketches by Cara Bristol #scifi #romance
Please give Cara Bristol a warm welcome today! She's sharing character sketches of the hero and heroine from the third book in her Cy-Ops Sci-Fi Romance series, Captured by the Cyborg, as well as an excerpt.***

There’s a reason why they call physical attraction “chemistry.” If you put the right two characters together, like mixing two reactive chemical agents, stuff happens. Sparks ignite. Labs blow up. In my new science fiction romance release, Captured by the Cyborg, I paired two individuals who should probably avoid each other, but find they can’t resist one another. Here’s a snapshot of who they are:
The Hero
Name: Dale Homme
Age: 38
Occupation: owner of a spacecraft remanufacturing factory.
Prior occupation: field operative with Cyber Operations, a covert paramilitary force.
Special abilities: Many. He’s a cyborg, an enhanced human with a microprocessor embedded in his brain. He’s exceptionally strong and muscular.
What’s most important to him: The security of his secret operation beneath the surface of the moon Deceptio.
His greatest strength: His intuition and ability to read people.
What he values most: The truth.
His greatest weakness: He’s a sucker for an underdog. And hair. God, look at her hair!
The Heroine
Name: Unknown.
Alias: Illumina Smith.
Age: 24
Previous occupation and education: Doesn’t matter. It’s all falsified anyway.
Distinguishing characteristic: Waves of silvery blonde hair.
Special abilities: She’s a computer sensate. A computer system doesn’t exist that she can’t hack into.
Why she came to work at Deceptio: She needs a place to hide.
Her greatest weakness: Her employer. A cyborg, with a computer chip in his brain. She can’t get involved with the boss! She can’t!

Sometimes the biggest risk is to one’s heart….
An ex-Cyber Operations field agent, Dale Homme has kissed danger and betrayal more times than he cares to count. Now he runs a clandestine factory beneath the surface of the moon Deceptio, where confidentiality and security matter more than anything. When a beautiful young woman arrives seeking a job, Dale knows within minutes she’s lying. Everything about her is false: her past, the people she claims to know, her reason for being on Deceptio. Illumina Smith? Even her name is an alias.
Logic says send her packing. His gut says she’s in trouble. She needs him. So he’ll do anything to keep her safe….even if it means keeping her captive.
Captured by the Cyborgis third in the Cy-Ops Sci-fi Romance series but is written to be read as a stand-alone novella.
Captured by the Cyborg Excerpt
Dale slapped his knees. “Here’s what’s going to happen. First, to put your mind at rest, let me assure you that Alonio is no threat to me. I’m a cyborg. Keeping people safe is what I do. He might succeed in drawing a little blood, but I’ll wipe up the mess with his ass. Second, while I doubt he can gain access to Deceptio, as a precaution, I’ll amp up security.”
“About that…” She had to tell him how she’d changed the entry protocol. He wouldn’t like that she’d gone behind his back. “I need to tell you…”
He held up his hand. “Let me finish. Third, you are not going anywhere. You’re staying right here where I can protect you.”
The autocratic edict set her teeth on edge. “You can’t keep me here!” She hadn’t fought so hard for her freedom and safety only to be dictated to by another man, however well intentioned. She was nobody’s captive!
“Yes, I can.”
Let him try! “As you’ve realized,” she said, “I’m a master sensate. A computer system doesn’t exist that I can’t infiltrate. I can hijack one of your spaceships and be gone before you realize there was a breach. Your entry and exit protocols, for instance—”
He leaned in until his breath caressed her ear, and he whispered, “Did your orientation tour happen to include a visit to the brig?”
He was threatening to lock her up? She jerked away and rounded on him. “What are you saying?”
“Moonbeam’s isolation can cause people to go a little crazy. We haven’t had anyone snap yet, but the possibility exists. You could be the first ward of the Deceptio jail.”
“I can access computer-controlled doors, too!” She crossed her arms.
He laughed. “You and half the employees on Deceptio—which is why they’re not computer controlled.” From his pocket he pulled out a metal ring and dangled some odd-shaped jagged objects. “Good old-fashioned locks and keys. The best antiques money can buy.”
She leaped off the bench. “You’d imprison me?”

Blurb:

The Red Petticoat is not just another whorehouse. This is a place for every painted lady to get her happy ending. Madame Jewel and her 'gems' welcome hardworking men to come inside for a home-cooked meal or a few hands of cards. They are invited to listen to a pretty girl sing or watch a show. If a bit of intimate comfort is desired, they are welcome to go upstairs and into the arms of one of the beautiful women wearing the red petticoats. However, refer to its gems as whores and you'll find yourself tossed out into the street.
This story all begins when Lady Juliette Gardner discovers she has been set up and her reputation ruined. She decides to leave England for good and find her way to the goldfields of California with the hopes of creating her dream and possibly striking it rich.
To Gabriel Vasquez, the hard work and isolation of working his claim is the only way to achieve his dream. When he discovers his new partner is a woman, a very beautiful, very stubborn English woman, he has no problem – except for the fact that she refuses to think of her safety. If she is to be his partner, he will have no hesitation teaching her exactly what happens to naughty, cheeky English ladies.
Gabriel and Jewel will discover that life has room for more than one dream and as they settle themselves in Culpepper Cove. This mining town, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains, will never be the same once Juliette—Madame Jewel—opens The Red Petticoat.

EXCERPT “Come.” Nanny Marie wasted no time, finding the hair brush she’d used earlier on Jade’s bottom. With wide fear-filled eyes, Jade tore from Nanny Marie’s grasp and rushed toward the bed. There was no way out of the room. Only a mattress she could climb atop to get out of reach. Jade did just that, climbing and standing on the bed, arms crossed, defiant. “Get down this instant!” Nanny Marie’s voice hitched and her cheeks burned. Jade shook her head. “I don’t want another spanking.” Her nanny snorted under her breath. “You should have thought about that before acting out. I was only going to brush the knots from your tangled hair. When I get ahold of you, Jade, you’ll get more than a spanking for your disobedience!”

New release! SOLD INTO MARRIAGE #medieval #fantasy #romance
I'm excited to share that I have a new historical fantasy novella out this week called Sold into Marriage.
Blurb:

Commander Varron wanted Meadow from the moment he looked into her pretty blue eyes, but he expects his new wife’s obedience and doesn’t hesitate to turn her over his knee and redden her bottom when she’s been naughty. The little lass has a tendency to lose her temper, and he sets out to tame her with firm but loving scoldings, spankings, and even more intimate punishments that leave her blushing yet aching for his touch. But their happiness may be short-lived. As they travel to Varron’s homeland, an unexpected danger arises on the high seas, threatening their future together. Are they doomed to remain forever apart, or will Varron finally be reunited with the sweet lass who has stolen his heart?
Excerpt:
“Let the girl go,” Varron thundered, his voice full of command.
Mr. Lansing eyed Varron warily and released Meadow’s arm. She took two steps back and bumped into Varron, then she spun around and stared up at him, her gaze questioning. “Is this legal? Can he really do this?”
Commander Varron suddenly hated this assignment even more than he already had. Damn and blast, he didn’t want to answer Meadow, because she wasn’t going to like his answer. Hell, he didn’t like the answer.
He inclined his head and spoke in a low voice so only she could hear. “Legally, your stepfather can offer any healthy and able bodied member of his household into the capital city’s service, in exchange for ten years of paid taxes.”
She inhaled a quick breath and her lower lip quivered. “Will I be freed after those ten years are up?”
He felt the weight of her predicament upon his own shoulders as he stared into her eyes. “No, Meadow, I’m afraid not.”
“I see.” She squared her shoulders, appearing to summon her strength. She looked adorably brave, and his heart ached harder for her.
Christ, he wanted to press her against his chest and smooth his hands through her dark locks. He wanted to place soft kisses on each freckle that dotted her nose and cheeks. He wanted to tell her that she wouldn’t be considered a slave under the crown for the rest of her life, that she would be free to marry and have a family, that she would be free to be her own person. But he couldn’t lie to her. All the freedoms she’d known and all her dreams for the future were about to be destroyed, and he hated himself for his part in it, even if he was just following the law of the crown.
Then a thought struck him, a sudden and ridiculous thought at that, considering he barely knew the girl.
Buy her from her stepfather. Pay her family’s tax debt and keep her for yourself.
He gazed down at her unblinkingly as the idea formed in his head, whispering intently to his conscious, as well as a darker part of him that wanted to possess the lass. When he had imagined finally taking a wife, he’d never imagined buying a wife.
He felt his nostrils flaring as his blood heated and his muscles tensed. He pictured her naked beneath him, her silken locks spread out upon a pillow as she panted under him, parting her legs as she accepted him into her body.
Make her your wife.
