Blurb:
Identical twins, Verity and Felicity (Lissie) Pettigrew inherit an abandoned farm in the remote hills of the Methow Valley. Little do the twins know, but their windfall harbors a secret. While exploring the old barn, Verity stumbles into a hidden portal and is instantly transported more than one hundred years into the past.
In 1885, on the same farm, Will Dawson is saddling his horse when a
disturbance in a corner of the barn catches his attention. In his haste to
rescue the gorgeous woman in the center of the disturbance, Will is flung far
into the future.
Meanwhile, Lissie arrives on the farm looking for Verity, but finds the
handsome, slightly suspicious cowboy instead. From their first words to one
another, sparks fly.
Lissie’s modern manners and profane language offend Will. His solution?
Some old-fashioned discipline delivered on the spot.
Affronted by Will’s distinctly un-twenty-first century approach to
male/female relationships, Lissie challenges his authority at every turn in
spite of nearly always ending up over his knee.
Meanwhile, Verity must deal with life in 1885. Although accepted into
Will’s family, she longs to get back to the 21st century and the man
she loves.
Can Will live in a future in which progress comes at the price of
everything he holds dear? Can Lissie win him over, and teach him that women can
be independent and willful but still soft and sexy? Will Verity find her way
back to the man she loves?
Publishers note: This stand alone love story includes scenes of domestic discipline and spicy romance.
Excerpt:
“I’ve warned you about your language and I’ve warned you
that I am in charge here. You’ve spoken to me disrespectfully, you’ve cursed,
and you just told that man that I’m an idiot.”
With his right hand clamped around her left wrist, he
turned and headed to the barn, towing her behind him. Her gait was awkward as
she crab-walked to keep up. He didn’t say another word until they’d followed
the beaten path around to the front of the barn. With a gentle nudge, he guided
her inside.
Lissie’s stomach turned to water. “Why are we here?”
“Why do you think?” he asked, closing the door behind them.
“We’re going to try to go through the portal back to your
world?”
“We could do that. But not until I’ve tanned your hide
properly for sass, cussing, and disrespect.”
He leaned against the door, blocking the only exit to the
building. Lissie glanced around. The only things in the barn were a long wooden
bench and a couple of stirrup leathers. Surely he couldn’t be planning to
use those.
“I’m sorry about that smartass comment to the roofer. He
was getting under my skin with that ‘you’re a woman, you wouldn’t understand’
stuff. I said the first thing that came to mind. I should have thought before
speaking.”
“That is true.” One corner of Will’s mouth lifted. Damn
him. He was enjoying this.
“Okay, I’ve said I’m sorry. You’ve had your apology. Now I
need to get back to the house to keep an eye on what all those workers are
doing.”
“You’ll have plenty of time to do that. But at this precise
moment, you’re going nowhere. You and I are going to do a little reckoning.”
He straightened up, moving away from the door. “I’m feeling
generous today. I’ll give you a choice. You can drop your drawers and let me
spank your pretty bare bottom.”
Lissie blushed at his knowing tone as he spoke of her body.
“Or?”
He glanced at the stirrup leathers. “Or you can preserve
your modesty. I’m happy to punish you over your trousers, with one of those
leathers.”
“That’s a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea.” Lissie
crossed her arms in front of her, as though she could ward Will off, or at
least protect herself from what was coming next, by the simple act of hostile
body language.
Will folded his arms. “Don’t make me wait too long. I’m not
a patient man.”
