OVERALL
Three of the hottest contemporary Westerns to come along in a long time! Dude Ranch, Crooked-T Ranch, and Suzy Q Ranch all have one thing in common: city girls who meet no nonsense cowboys! Three novellas, twenty-two chapters in all.
CROOKED T RANCH- Available as a single novella at Blushing Books
Ex-bull rider Travis McVey needs time to figure out what to do with his life now that he gave up the rodeo circuit. He’s not ready to go home to his family in Texas and their sympathy, so he accepts a job as foreman of the Crooked T Ranch in Wyoming. He wants days to consist of hard work and nights made up of making plans for the future. He doesn’t want complications. Jodi Thompson, the boss’s daughter, is home from college, ready to kick back and enjoy her summer. She’s not thrilled with being ordered by her father to work under the authority of the too-handsome-for-her-sanity new foreman. He’s too bossy, in her opinion, and, like her father, he has no problem upending her and spanking her bottom every time she turns around. Yet she wants him, forever, but convincing him they belong together appears to be a real problem. Stubborn man.
DUDE RANCH – Available as a single novella at Blushing Books
Maybelle Caldwell is a matchmaker of the worst kind. A sweet Grandma, she won’t leave her grandson Jake – or her younger female friends – alone. 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.” Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Isn’t that how the saying goes? Rylee intends to take a year off from her job, and Jake wants freedom to get his Dude Ranch going. And it suddenly dawns on both of them that a marriage of convenience might not be all bad. 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 nothing to speak of. Add into the mix that Jake 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.
SUZY Q RANCH
Suzy has wasted years trying to settle down. Unexpectedly, she inherits the ranch where she lived as a foster child. But there’s a catch: she must share the inheritance with Trent Tyler, who’s already broken her heart once.

ALL HE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Merry can’t help that she is accident prone. And, really, isn’t it time her father stopped burning her bottom for the occasional bouts of mischief she got into? Since graduating college and returning to the North Pole, she’s a little bored. She doesn’t have a real job and her father thinks she is drifting aimlessly through life. Maybe she is, but she’ll figure things out eventually. But her father has run out of patience with her. He gives her an “or else” task and neither option really appeals to her. She must work as a cook – - her? A cook? – -for a rancher and bring him back to Christmas. If she refuses or fails, she’ll be forced to manage the Toy Factory forever.
Nick can’t get over an accident he was involved in ten years ago at Christmas time that killed a young mother and her two toddlers. He can’t think about having a wife and a family of his own. And he refuses to celebrate Christmas in any way no matter how hard people around him try to get him to do so. Then a snowstorm just before Christmas brings the most unusual woman into his life, supposedly as his temporary housekeeper/cook replacement. Merry can’t cook, except for making cookies and candy. Housekeeping is beyond her as well. She quickly makes him crazy; she needs to go. But, even spanking her when she tests his patience too much, doesn’t drive her away. Oddly, he realizes he doesn’t really want her to leave.
SANTA’S SURPRISE
Nicholas prefers living in the warm climate of the Hawaiian islands to freezing his ass off at the North Pole. His tourist adventure business is booming and the holiday time is always busy, which he likes. Being crazy busy takes his mind off the anxiety he always feels at Christmas time. But this year his worry is even more intense. His gut is telling him something is happening back home, something he doesn’t want to think about. He will never be ready to take over the role of being Santa. He refuses to think about it, tries not to even think about Christmas. All he needs is additional help for his business.
Misty (Mistletoe) McGuire has lived on Kaui all her life and snorkeling is nothing new to her. But renting equipment from Nick’s shop on the other side of the island is, as is meeting the handsome owner. When he realizes how experienced she is and offers her a temporary job, she accepts. She is still trying to come to terms with the loss of her parents, still reluctant to face running their Christmas shop and returning to live in the family home. Having an affair with this so very handsome man seems a perfect way to postpone her responsibilities a little longer. He’s like no other man she’s ever dated, and it certainly isn’t a hardship having sex with Nick. Even the playful spankings add to their hot times. Maybe things can progress into something more permanent.
HIS ONLY WISH
All Nikki wanted was to live her life as she wanted and not be constantly pestered by her father about getting married and having kids. Perry had wanted the same things. So they’d come up with this brilliant idea to have a marriage of convenience, never live together, keep their mate’s name from their parents, and get an annulment. But after seven years they still hadn’t gotten around to the annulment. And now she is suffering a sore bottom because they hadn’t…Well, and because her father, Pere Fouettard, and his friend, Kris Kringle, had got to talking and figured out that their kids had lied to them all these years. Darn Perry. He should have arranged for the annulment. She is so furious with him.
Perry was ordered back to Santaville by his father, his seriously pissed father. He should have known the little charade with Nikki would bite him in the butt. He’d considered not coming as ordered, but when he’d heard that Nikki was being transported here, he knew he couldn’t leave her to face this mess alone. He’d reluctantly sent her annulment papers to sign last year. Why hadn’t she signed them? He could have contacted her, but he really hadn’t wanted to. He’d been clinging to a foolish wish all these years. But now she would be furious with him, and that bothered him more than Kris being upset with him.

STORIES INCLUDED IN ANTHOLOGY-Also available as single stories from Blushing Books
MISTLETOE AND HOLLY
Holly Peterson had been humiliated a year ago on Christmas Eve by her ex-fiance, 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. She walked away that night; certain she’d never love again, and never celebrate Christmas again.
Brandon McNamara was in desperate need of a highly skilled personal assistant to replace the one who’d eloped and moved without giving notice. 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.
BAH HUMBUG, COWBOY
Lacey McAdams had returned home unexpectedly during an early December snowstorm after being gone longer than she’d planned. To her horror, she found her handsome husband with his arms around her best friend, kissing her. Her world shattered. When he’d miserably tried to explain that they’d been worried about her and had only sought comfort in a stupid moment, she refused to listen to him. In her heart, she believed him. But she wasn’t sure she could ever forgive either of them, or forgive herself for being away from home so often and so long. Maybe their marriage just wasn’t meant to be.
Devlin had been horrified to discover his arms around another woman, kissing her when his precious wife walked into their kitchen. He’d missed her so damn much. He’d never meant to touch her friend. There always had been and always would be only one woman for him, his fiery Lacey Jane. Numbness spread through him when she wouldn’t accept his gut-deep apology, when she drove away from him into the snowstorm. This could not be the end of them. He would do whatever necessary to make things right again. Trouble was his wife could be pretty stubborn at times, unreasonable, too. But she’d accept his apology and his forever kind of love, even if he had to burn her butt to make her think clearly. And he aimed to have her back with him permanently by Christmas.
SANTA WEARS SPURS – Available as a single story at Blushing Books
Roxie Evans had left California, her wealthy but distant family, and a former fiance‚ who’d turned out to be Very Mr. Wrong. She’d moved halfway across the country to begin a new life as a librarian and try to find a happily-ever-after kind of man. What she found was a cowboy with a reputation as the best sweet-talker in the state. They had nothing in common, except an attraction that took them both by surprise. When he approached her to be Santa’s helper this year at the ranchers association’s Christmas party, she’d teased him about what he was prepared to offer her in exchange for saying yes. He mentioned several possible enticements: one was taking her over his knee and encouraging her agreement by warming her bottom; another was offering to be her love slave. Both suggestions were not really serious ones. Until Roxie decided to call his bluff and accepted the love slave offer, thinking her acceptance not serious either. But as it turned out, he was serious.
Love slave? Well, hell, who was he to turn down such an opportunity! Dexter Malone could certainly do his civic duty by acting as Santa, and as offering his body to the pretty new woman in town. ‘Course he figured they’d really only have a night or two of some mutually agreed upon fun. Then he’d go his way, as usual, and she would go hers. He sure hadn’t counted on losing his heart to a woman who enjoyed sex, sensual fun, and a playful spanking as much as he did. He also hadn’t counted on having to spank her for real.
