Hi Kelly, and thank you so much for
inviting me back over. It’s awesome to
be swapping blogs to celebrate our latest releases, and I’m delighted to have Melissa
and Damien from Taking
His Human Bride over at mine today. And here I am with you, giving a
shout out about The
Highwayman’s Lady.
I’m really excited about this story, Gray
is a hero I’ve been hatching for a while now, and it just reached the point
where he had to emerge. He’s a rogue and no one could mistake him for a
gentleman, but I hope readers will love him as much as I do.
Here’s the
blurb…
After the death of her mother, twenty-year-old Imogen
Bennett faces the prospect of being coerced into marriage by a scheming
relative, but fate intervenes when a masked highwayman accosts her on the road.
Desperate to escape the unwanted wedding, Imogen pleads with the mysterious,
handsome rogue to rescue her.
Alistair Graham – Gray - is a proud Scotsman who
rebelled against British rule, and since the defeat of the highlanders at
Culloden he has taken to robbing rich Englishmen travelling through Scottish
lands. He is no gentleman, but he is certainly not a man who would ignore a
young woman’s pleas for help, and he agrees to do what he can to assist the
beautiful girl he has waylaid.
Imogen finds herself drawn to Gray, and though he
warns her that he expects a woman’s complete obedience both in bed and out of
it, she cannot resist offering her virgin body to him. He takes her hard and
thoroughly, leaving her utterly spent yet still aching for more, and when her
shock at her own wantonness leads her to speak disrespectfully to him he bares
her bottom and punishes her soundly.
A highwayman is no suitable match for a lady, however,
and Gray fears that her association with him can only put them both in danger,
so he makes her promise that she’ll tell no one about what took place between
them and then ensures that she is delivered safely to the home of her honourable
cousin in Kirkleven. Yet despite her best efforts to put Gray out of her mind
forever, in her heart Imogen knows she will always belong to the man who
rescued her, mastered her, and made her his. But will her highwayman ever
return to lay claim to his lady?

And an
excerpt…
The bed
shifts again and I know he is standing now, no doubt looking down on my form,
still trembling from the intensity of the sensual onslaught he just unleashed.
I turn my face in the direction I assume he has gone. “Gray? Please…”
“I told
you I am a generous lover, did I not? Now you know what shall be your reward
for obedience. You want more?”
“You
could do that again?” I cannot keep the wonder from my tone, or the longing.
“I could.
And I will. I intend for you to enjoy this night, my little Imogen.”
“There
is more?”
“Aye,
much more.”
I turn
my head, seeking to follow his footsteps around the room. I release my hold on
the bed head and start to sit up.
“Do not
move.”
The curt
command rings across the room. I subside back onto the mattress, mumbling my
apology.
Several
minutes pass. Occasional sounds offer clues—the thump of boots dropping onto
the floorboards, the swish of clothing as he undresses. He will not permit me
to see him, but might I touch?
“Please,
may I move my hands?”
“No, you
may not. If you believe you may struggle with that, I am happy to restrain
you.”
“I, I
will remain still. I promise.”
Despite
my arousal and undimmed enthusiasm for this endeavour, I cannot help flinching
as he re-joins me on the bed.
“Do not
be afraid, Imogen. I promised you no harm and I will keep my word. But I will have your obedience and you should
know that if you disappoint me in this matter, I will punish you.”
I want
to know the nature of any punishment but do not dare to ask. Instead I tilt my
face toward him.
“I mean
no disrespect, Gray. I hope… I… I do not wish to disappoint you.” The very
notion leaves me in despair.
The
mattress shifts under him as he rolls over me. He cradles my face between his
hands and places his lips against my ear.
“You
know what I require of you. And I know what you want, what you need. Let us
believe that neither of us is to be disappointed this night.”
“Yes,
sir,” I breathe, as he lays a trail of soft kisses across my jaw. He covers my
mouth with his and I part my lips in welcome. It is as though he has released a
tap, my body arching as the well of pent-up lust gushes forth to meet his
thrusting tongue.
To

More about me:
I’ve been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic and other genres. I still love reading, the hotter the better. But now I have a good excuse for my guilty pleasure – research.
I tend to draw on my own experience to lend colour, detail and realism to my plots and characters. An incident here, a chance remark there, a bizarre event or quirky character, any of these can spark a story idea.
I live in the North of England, on the edge of the Brontë moors. When not writing – which is not very often these days - my time is divided between my role as resident taxi driver for my teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, tortoises. And a very grumpy cockatiel.
I have around thirty titles on general release with publishers on both sides of the Atlantic, and I have several more in the pipeline. I write M/f, M/M, and occasionally ring the changes with a little M/M/f. All my books feature BDSM. I write explicit stories, always hot, but they offer far more than just sizzling sex. I like to read about complex characters, and compelling plots, so that’s what I write too.
I have a pile of story ideas still to work through, and keep thinking of new ones at the most unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a lot more from me.
Let’s keep in touch. Here’s how to stalk me…
