Here’s a little summary of the book:

Though she was once as sweet as she is beautiful, since her mother’s untimely passing Princess Brandywyn seems to grow brattier with every passing year… until the day she is waylaid by a band of ruffians and dragged away into the forest. She is taken far from her home, but at last she is rescued from the outlaws by a simple huntsman named Tom and her life is changed forever.

Neither Tom nor anyone else will believe that a girl dressed in rags could be a princess, and without the slightest idea of how to get home, Brandywyn finds herself with no choice but to accept Tom’s offer to share his cottage. The feisty nineteen-year-old princess soon learns, however, that Tom will not stand for being treated as a servant. To her horror, Brandywyn discovers that arrogance will earn her a good, hard spanking on her bare bottom, and that more serious misbehavior will result in even more humiliating punishment.

In spite of his strict discipline, Brandywyn begins to feel things for Tom that she has never felt before… things that make her blush with shame. A princess should not dream of being stripped bare and taken long and hard by a commoner, yet dream of it she does. But what will her answer be if he asks for her hand, and what will come of them if her father finds her and returns her to the palace? Can a princess not only lust for a huntsman, but love him as well?

The Winner: Romantek Book One

Available now!

Read the blurb and excerpt on Saturday Spankings today. Read a longer excerpt here.

Do I have news for you today! My latest book, now titled The Winner: Romantek Book One was released today. Woo-hoo! Woot! Yeah, baby! I’m super excited about it and am sharing a little spanking goodness from it, just for you.

In this segment, White Star is spanking Audrey for the first time. She didn’t know what to expect, and she didn’t really consent to this. She’s been naughty and was dragged out to the livery stable, where she’s over White Star’s knee while he’s sitting on a hay bale.

How could such an appealing man be so mean? Maybe it was his Indian heritage. Did they spank? “Please, please stop. I promise I’ll do better!”

He continued spanking until Audrey was sobbing and blubbering her apologies. Her nose was running, both sets of her cheeks were hot, her bonnet had been knocked off, and her hair was falling around her face like a light brown veil. She prayed that no one could hear her screams and come make an even bigger scene, and at the same time, she hoped that someone would come and stop the awful spanking.

Not long after, they share their first kiss. Awww.

I hope you’ll join me at Blushing Books where we can all pick up a hot-off-the-electrons copy of The Winner: Romantek Book One. Here’s the blurb:

Audrey Beacon is a winner. Because of her slogan writing ability, Big Nutz is sending her on a fabulous vacation—one which only the rich and famous get to experience. While having her adventure, Audrey meets White Star Smith, a Native American man who has little tolerance for undisciplined females. He’s not hesitant to show his displeasure in order to help Audrey improve her attitude and behavior. He spanks, and kisses, and kisses and spanks, and in short order, Audrey is in love. White Star is her dream man.

The dreams of the rich and famous are out of Audrey’s league, and she’s keenly aware of it. Meeting White Star away from their vacation experience puts Audrey in a ticklish situation. Can he love her, despite her penury and low social status? Can she show him that she loves him, or is her heart too much to risk?

The Winner: Romantek Book One is a M/F, sci-fi, time-travel, erotic, spanking romance.

This is a hop! So grab your copy of Romantek (unsubtle hint) and then go on and continue through the Saturday Spankings roster. Have a great time!

In preparation for the release of my next book (retitled) The Winner: Romantek Book One, I’m sharing a little preview of something sexy from the novel.

In this segment, Audrey and White Star are getting hot and heavy near a cornfield.

Soon, she was bare from the waist down, laying on the back of her skirt. Audrey reached for the belt and buttons on his denims and struggled with them for a moment, relieved when she finally got them open and his cock sprang out. She grabbed it with both hands.

Now that she’s got him, what’s she gonna do with him? I’ll leave that to your imagination for the moment. The book will be released on Saturday, so you won’t have long to wait.

Here’s a blurb for The Winner: Romantek Book One:

My sci-fi, time travel, erotic, spanking romance is slated for release on September 28. Mark your calendar!

Following, are the blurb and a brief excerpt.

Blurb

In the world of the future, dreams are playthings only a few get to manipulate. After winning a contest, Audrey Beacon has a chance to enter that glamorous world and have her dreams fulfilled—if only for a week.

In her dream on the Romantek dream vacation, where Audrey is allowed to experience the mid-nineteenth century, she meets American Indian, White Star. Sparks immediately fly, but she quickly earns herself a spanking. And kisses. And more spankings. In fact, somewhere between the punishment spankings and the erotic spankings, Audrey falls in love.

Back in the real world, however, her penury and low social class make it clear she will never experience the make-believe dream world again. Her White Star turns out to be a real person, but Audrey is sure it won’t be the same in reality as it was in the dream. Can she see past her caution and fears and accept her real dream man?

Brief Excerpt

Audrey Beacon was a winner. It inspired her, as she was packing her things, to pirouette around the small room, brushing the bed and nearly running into a closet door. She held her little black cocktail dress to her chest like the dearest of dancing partners, and she hummed a jaunty tune as she worked.

Pausing, she picked up and read the brochure on the tablet computer near her suitcase on the bed. “Romantek Adventure Vacation Experiences,” it said in bold red letters. “Your RAVE will be every joyful thing you can imagine, all the challenges you’ve been waiting to face, and a dream come true. Memories from your RAVE will last a lifetime.” Further in the brochure, it talked about the wonderful benefits the nanite gel immersion would have. The microscopic nanites would resurface her skin, draw impurities from her body, and even sculpt her a little by removing unwanted fat deposits. She was a bit on the thin side, so she had told them when she’d signed the paperwork that she didn’t want to lose weight or what little bit of padding she had. The Romantek rep had been very understanding and made notes in her records.

The next few pages were about the various places and times she could choose to set her dream vacation. They all seemed magical. Although Audrey tried to “think outside of the box” she wanted to stay within North America, and with English speakers. There were several time periods she might pick, including something prehistoric and something set in the future. But, Audrey was uncomfortable with anything too unfamiliar, and it seemed like her best bet was to pick the United States circa 1850. From what she read in the brochure, it was a time of rough changes to the country, but chivalry and romance, too. It sounded pretty civilized, but not boring. During her second conversation with the Romantek rep, she’d made her choice known and the wheels had been set in motion.

The brochure set out some rules for the game aspects of the dream, and Audrey continued to reread the disclaimers, a sense of trepidation shivering along her skin. “Although the vast majority of RAVEs involve computer-generated opponents and companions, Romantek reserves the right to include depictions and avatars of real people as part of your experience.” She didn’t understand the disclaimer entirely, but she didn’t care. This was a golden opportunity, no matter what caveats they put on it.

When Audrey had entered the contest to win a RAVE, she’d never actually expected to win. But the Big Nutz peanut butter company had picked her. It was amazing! She’d never won anything before in her life, and to think she’d won something that everyone wanted and very few, only very rich people, got to have. Ever since the comm with Big Nutz, she’d been busy preparing for the week-long escapade. Although she’d only be gone one week, they assured her that those five days would feel like ten days, so long as she followed the simple rules. It was like a game in a dream in an adventure.
###
What kind of adventure would you want if you could live a dream? What do you think Audrey’s going to find while she sleeps? How would you fit in if you were plunked into the US of 1850? Audrey’s going to find her answers. I hope you’ll discover them with her.

Here’s the blurb for Handling Stormy.

Fledgling attorney, Stormy Stillwater, wants to make a name for herself with her first case, a dispute over water rights and a bourbon distillery. Unfortunately, the opposing attorney is the guy she met at her brother’s wedding and with whom she had her first one night stand. She’s incredibly embarrassed and yet remains super-attracted to Jeff. Even though she’s certain he’s a playboy, she falls into bed with him all too easily.

Jeff Hand, successful Las Vegas attorney, is taken with Stormy at the outset and tries to show her. He can’t keep his hands off her, nor she him, and it seems like they’re in bed every other minute. Jeff sees how special Stormy is beyond the bedroom but he can’t quite understand why she has such cold feet where he’s concerned.

Stormy and Jeff learn how spankings can be sexy and yet mighty effective at curbing unwanted behavior as Stormy steps out of her comfort zone to try to learn to be more in control of herself. But will Jeff be able to convince Stormy to take a chance on love?

Thanks for your continued support! I’ll have a spankin’ new release for you in about 10 days. September is turning out to be a busy month!

Did you miss my good news? Aw, shucks. I’ll whisper it in your ear. Correcting Kathy was just released to the public on Wednesday! Hooray!

For your Saturday Spanking pleasure, I’m offering a tiny bit of Miss McGillicutty’s second “aversion therapy” spanking. Professor Hal Emory, tempted with the first spanking, is rather more so with the second one. Maybe this is one situation where temptation wins.

“A turkey?”

Her panties! She was wearing her Thanksgiving panties that had a turkey in the back and embroidery on the front saying, “Gobble, Gobble, Gobble.” Apparently, he wasn’t particularly amused because he slid the panties down her legs to her knees. Her whole body flushed with heat. After a long moment, during which Kathy trembled with nervous tension, a firm swat landed squarely on her left cheek. “No more smoking.” Another three spanks, and now both of her cheeks were getting hot.

As with my previous Saturday Spankings excerpt from this book, despite her panties, this is not a holiday story. She got a complete set for her 21st birthday!

For your convenience:

Hooray! My latest book has been released by Stormy Night Publications! I’m so excited. This is one of my best ones ever. I hope you’ll come over to Close Encounters With the Night Kind where Nikki is throwing me a big party to celebrate. I’m giving away a copy of bestseller, Kiki’s Millionaire, to one lucky commenter on her site.

Here’s the blurb from Correcting Kathy — I hope it sounds like a lot of fun. It really is!

Kathy would never have imagined that one of the most embarrassing moments of her life could make her the envy of every girl at her small university, but after a stumble in the cafeteria leaves her blushing and Hal Emory drenched in soup, she is stunned when the incident ends with her meeting the young, handsome professor for dinner.

She is even more taken aback by the fact that he does not hesitate to lecture her over dinner about her smoking—a habit she has tried many times to break without success. When he offers to help her quit by means of “aversion therapy”, she cannot resist the urge to learn more, and almost before she knows it she finds herself bent over the desk of this stern professor for a good, hard spanking.

After a subsequent chastisement leads to lovemaking which is as hard and hot as it is unexpected, both Kathy and Hal must decide if they want to pursue a romance. Can Hal leave the pain of the tragic death of his wife in the past and allow himself to fall in love with Kathy? Even if he does, will she be able to accept not only his love but also his guidance and, from time to time, his firm hand applied to her bare bottom?

Here’s an excerpt.

Hal watched Kathy sit down as though the chair would bite her. She worked the strap of her purse with anxious fingers. After a moment, she reached up and pushed short, blond hair out of her face. He wanted to touch those thick, wavy locks.

“Smoke a cigarette. It’ll be your last one.”

“There’s no smoking allowed in this building.”

Hal wasn’t going to allow excuses. This was supposed to be aversion therapy and she had to have a strong sense of what she was to avoid. Besides, he knew this would be difficult for her and wanted to give her one last hit of nicotine. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”

Of course, spanking almost certainly wasn’t allowed in the building either. Not so much because he was involved in a personal relationship with a student, since she wasn’t in any of his classes, but because the school administration would not look kindly on him engaging in this sort of activity in his office on school property. Religious schools like Holy Name had done away with that kind of punishment a long time ago.

Kathy fished in her purse for her cigarettes and lighter, her face softening as she anticipated the treat. A small thread of smoke rose from the cigarette and she drew in a deep lungful. He observed her, trying to look neutral, as he stood near the big bookcase. It was hard to be unaffected by the young coed. She reminded him strongly of his wife, a woman whom he loved deeply and unremittingly, even though she was gone.

“Do…do you do this often?” she asked.

“Not for years.”

“Oh.” The pause in the conversation drew out.

“How’s that cigarette?”

Kathy exhaled a cloud of smoke. Her shoulders were visibly more relaxed. “It’s okay, I guess.”

Reaching for a bottle of water, Hal unscrewed the cap and took a long swig, then held it out to her. “Put the cigarette in here.”

“In the bottle of water?”

“Yes. You’ve had enough.”

“But I’m not done!”

“Yes, you are.”

Looking frustrated, Kathy took another puff and dropped the last little bit of her cigarette into the water. It sizzled and floated on the top, ash leaching out into the water, along with a few tiny flakes of tobacco.

Hal put the cap back on the bottle and tossed it into the trashcan. “You know why you have to stop smoking, right?”

She nodded. “It’s bad for me.”

“It could kill you!”

Shame reddening her face, she nodded.

“No more for you. Every time I find out you’ve been smoking, I’ll spank you.”

Kathy sat up straighter, her brows drawing together. “Every time?”

“Every time.” He nodded toward his desk. “Go bend over my desk and raise the skirt of your dress.”

“Raise the…”

“Did you expect a spanking over your dress? You want this to be effective, or did you plan to have to repeat it?” Hal had a moment of dread, even as the words left his mouth. It was going to be hard on him as well as her. He hadn’t been intimate with a woman for a long time and having this lithe young beauty spread over his desk was quite possibly self-torture.

Kathy stood and took the two steps to the desk, turning back to him at the last moment. “Are you sure this is going to work?”

“We’ll see, shall we?”

“Okay.” She slowly draped herself over the desk, lifting her skirt up to her waist in the back. Her face flamed right down her long, slender neck. Kathy’s short hair bobbed as she pressed her face to the desk. She wore skimpy white panties sporting the words “Ho, Ho, Ho” with small, colorful Christmas trees dotting the seat. A book slid off a stack on the desk and landed with a small thump on the worn rug.

The air in the room went still. Several long moments passed while Hal debated the wisdom of this again, deciding that it was a necessary step if he wanted to help her. He took up his post to the left, thoughts of his wife flashing in his head. Patting Kathy’s bottom, not rubbing—that was too personal—he gauged that his aim was true. Her breathing was shallow, anticipation written in her stiff posture and the way she gripped the desk like a lifeline. That lovely bottom was waiting. It was time to get started. Hal raised his hand several feet, finally bringing it down sharply on her left globe, and watched his handprint blossom where her French-cut panties didn’t cover. Kathy let out a squeak and peered over her shoulder.

“I don’t want you to smoke anymore, Miss McGillicutty. You don’t want to be here like this again.”

Kathy started to say something, but he struck her upturned bottom again…and again…and again several more times. The edges of her panties fell short of the redness he was creating. Pain caused her to finally cry out. “Ouch! Okay, I won’t smoke anymore!”

“No, you won’t.” He placed a half-dozen more smacks on her sweet rear. “I’ll do this to you as many times as it takes.”

Her face was slightly turned toward him. She was biting her lip, and her eyes were screwed up tight. “Ow! I get it! You can stop!”

“You don’t get it, Miss McGillicutty. You want the pain to stop, that’s all.” He smacked her again a half-dozen times and a few tears ran over her nose, landing on his desk. “What happens if you smoke?”

“I get spanked! Oh, God, it hurts! Enough!”

The point had to be crystal clear. He knew, from his experience with his wife, that a woman would make a protest long before the lesson had been learned. He drew his spanks down to the juncture of her bottom and thighs and she cringed and reached back to cover her ass with her hands. “Hands down!”

“Ow!” She was sobbing now, her bright blue eyes running with tears, but she put her hands back on the desk. Maybe she was learning. “Please, please, Professor Emory. Please!”

“Three more swats.”

“Oh! Oh! Oh!”

Her loud, broken-voiced protests were beginning to weigh on Hal, and he thought maybe she’d had enough. The spanking was over. He was sorely tempted to rub her rounded bottom, a bottom which showed hot red handprints sneaking out from under her panties. That ass was far too appealing; he had to change gears.

“You can stand up now. I think I’ve made the point.”

Slowly, she unfolded from the desk. Tears ran down her face and her mouth was soft and pouting. Her mouth was the one thing that didn’t remind him of Debbie. Debbie’s lips were less full, less perfectly formed. Kathy’s lips were kissable, camellia-colored treasures.

It made him angry. The injustice of life was sometimes almost too awful to bear. Even being surrounded by students didn’t make up for the loneliness he experienced day in and day out. He was tempted to have a drink, but he hadn’t touched liquor for the last two years. Even living in wine country wasn’t enough to make him break that vow to himself.

Hal handed Kathy a tissue. “Fix yourself up and we’ll go back to my car. I have things to do.”

She looked a little stunned. He was being abrupt and cold, but he couldn’t help it. His pain was something kept close to his chest, deep in his heart. Explaining it to Kathy wasn’t something he was prepared to do. So far, he’d only talked to his best friend, Aaron, about it.

It occurred to him that after dropping Kathy off at her moped, he might give Aaron a call. They were cousins and best friends, and if he couldn’t confide his tumultuous emotions to Aaron, they might eat him alive.

It took the young woman a few minutes to compose herself, but soon enough she picked up her purse and headed toward the door.

Silently, they walked toward his car. A few night birds called through the many box elders and pine trees on campus, and sidewalk lights threw uneven splashes on the concrete. There was a smattering of stone pots of peonies and daffodils dotting the way, but they were grayish in the artificial lights and the moon was hidden behind clouds.

The car ride to Bobby’s Burgers was uneventful and notably quiet, except for the occasional sniff from Kathy. Hal felt bad about being so short-tempered with her at the end of the lesson. With his wife, he was consoling, cuddling her and kissing her to show his love. But, of course, that wasn’t the case with Kathy McGillicutty. She was a temptation, but one he should not indulge. He didn’t want to get tangled up in something he wasn’t prepared to continue.

They stopped under a light stanchion in Bobby’s parking lot, not far from her moped. Kathy reached for the door handle, but paused, turning toward Hal. “I guess I should thank you.”

“Only if it works.”

“My butt still hurts.”

“It might for a day.”

A tiny smile turned up one corner of her beautiful mouth. “Well, that ought to teach me. Have a good night, Professor Emory.” The door clicked open and she began to get out.

“You too, Miss McGillicutty.”

May I introduce to you, Journey’s Valentine? It’s part of my Journey family series, and tells the story of Deuce Journey’s first Valentine’s Day with his wife, Pilar. Here’s the blurb:

Deuce Journey and his wife Pilar are faced with some tough decisions. Pilar has been offered a new, demanding job with lots of travel, and yet she wants to start a family with Deuce and doesn’t want to have to rely on an au pair to raise her children. She’s torn and irritable for weeks over the difficult decision.

Deuce is patient with the wife he loves with all his heart, but even his patience is worn thin when she has an out-and-out tantrum. He wonders if maybe it isn’t partly his fault, too, for not making her decision for her or putting a decisive end to her childish behavior sooner.

And then Pilar leaves him. Their first Valentine’s Day together could be a very lonely affair if they don’t find their way back to each other.

Please pop over to Bethany’s Woodshed to read the novella or check out my pages for the blurb and a delicious excerpt. You might also enjoy reading excerpts from other great erotic spanking romance authors at Bethany’s Woodshed. There’s a lot there for the avid reader.
