THE code OF THE WEST – By Kelly Dawson

THE code OF THE WEST – By Kelly Dawson

Author Bio:  Kelly Dawson loves anything to do with horses, rodeos and cowboys, and loves to get lost in a good book - preferably a rural romance where a strong woman falls in love with a ruggedly-handsome, tough but gentle cowboy, and these are the types of characters who feature in the stories she writes. Only in Kelly’s books, the cowboys are even better because they spank!
She lives literally at the bottom of the world in the South Island of New Zealand, with her husband, four kids, a dog and a cat.

QUESTIONS/ANSWERS

Are you like any of your heroines?

Parts of me are, yes. But mostly, my heroines are a mix of myself, people I know, and the completely made-up.

How many books have you written? Are they all spanking fiction?

I have 4 books published now, heaps that are in various stages of progress, and heaps more ideas swirling around in my head. No, they’re not all spanking fiction, but they’re all romance. Although it will be a while before something that isn’t spanking fiction will be published.

Do you have a specific writing style?

I thought I did, but it turns out that no, I don’t. The way I write, the topics I choose … they’re constantly changing and developing. That’s a good thing, right?

Do you see writing as a career?

Absolutely! It doesn’t pay very much yet, but I’m hopeful that it will, one day. Being a writer is what I’ve always wanted to do, so this opportunity is a dream come true for me.

What is the best thing you have done in your life?

Marrying my wonderful husband and having my 4 beautiful children. They are what makes my life worth living.

Tell us about a unique or quirky habit of yours

I have Tourette’s Syndrome. So while the strange things I do aren’t exactly habits, it looks like they are. Other than my visible tics, I have to peg all my washing on the line using colour-co-ordinated pegs, and things must be hung up a certain way. If anyone helps me hang out the washing it drives me insane, because I’m going along after them, “fixing” it all LOL.

Have you ever had the feeling you were being watched?

All the time! Not so much since we’ve been in this house, but I swear a previous house we lived in was haunted. I felt like there was always something looking over my shoulder. It was horrid!

What's your favorite material object that you already own?

My laptop. I would be lost without it.

If you could eliminate one thing from your daily schedule, what would it be and why?

Washing dishes. Self-explanatory really! – I hate washing dishes – they’re never ending!

Tea or coffee?

Coffee. Vanilla latte, preferably.

Blurb:

In the years since the tragic death of her parents, Jedda-Lyn Cross has given everything she has to keep the family ranch running. She has grown accustomed to getting no help at all from her alcoholic brother, but when his violent, sadistic friend tries to make Jedda his wife against her will, it is the last straw.

Her attacker is the son of the richest family in town, and with the corrupt sheriff ready to do his bidding Jedda is desperate to leave town in a hurry. With no money and no horse, her best chance of making her escape comes in the form of a soon-to-be-departing cattle drive led by the famous trail boss Wes Jordan. But a young woman has little hope of gaining employment on a cattle drive, so drastic measures will be required…

Wes is none too pleased when he discovers that the new drover he hired is actually a beautiful twenty-two-year-old woman disguised as a boy, but after hearing Jedda’s story he promises to protect her. As he quickly realizes, however, that will be easier said than done. Jedda is sassy, headstrong, and in serious need of a good, hard, bare-bottom spanking, and when her reckless disregard for her own safety finally pushes him too far, Wes takes her firmly in hand.

After a painful, humiliating punishment from the handsome trail boss, Jedda is left with her bottom burning and her mind set awhirl. In spite of everything, she aches for Wes to take her in his arms, and when at last he does the pleasure of his skillful, passionate lovemaking nearly takes her breath away. But with her obsessed former suitor and his hired guns still after her, can she bring herself to accept the fact that, for a man like Wes, risking his life to protect the woman he loves is just part of what it means to live by the code of the west.

Publisher’s Note: The Code of the West is an erotic romance novel that contains sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a historical setting. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

The gunfire was deafening. There was shooting all around. So far, it didn’t look like any of the men in camp had been hit, but that could change. Looking around at his men, he was pleased to see they had taken cover well, biding their time, waiting for the outlaws to make a mistake so they could get off the perfect shot. They were too experienced at this sort of thing to give away their positions by firing without a sure target.

    He turned back to the task at hand. Jed had her pistol in front of her and was re-loading her rifle. She was a good shot, but he noticed something else about her as well, something important. She was courageous – she had openly defied him to fight alongside his men, and she was doing it well. She was level-headed, calm and gutsy. She kept loading the rifle methodically, her aim was sure and steady; when she squeezed off a shot, she usually hit what she was aiming at. He watched her kill another outlaw.

    A bullet hit the ground right in front of the wagon, spraying up dust into her face. She didn’t even flinch, but calmly let off another shot. She didn’t appear to be afraid, although he knew she was. They all were. She wasn’t even aware that he was watching her, as she fired off shot after shot, calmly and methodically reloading, taking aim and firing … but he was watching. And as he watched, he realised what a good wife she would make him. She was so brave, so loyal, so willing to do whatever was necessary. He was more determined than ever to marry her once this was all over.
