Cowboy Discipline: A Western Anthology
Five full-length novels by USA Today Best-Selling Authors
Ellen Oldsmere, becomes a mail order bride for a complete stranger in the Montana Territory, fleeing Minneapolis. Her new husband is all that she'd imagined: handsome, virile and sexually skilled. But he's also the town sheriff and would surely arrest her if he found out her secret.
A spitfire rancher. The dominant outlaw who takes her in hand.
Stranded in the west, Mabelle's been managing her dead sister's ranch alone for three months. The last thing she needs is the Curly James Gang pushing her around. She fights back, and finds herself over an outlaw's knee.
A cowboy with a broken heart. A dancing girl who’s sworn off men. Love blooms in the hardest hearts in the Wild West.
There weren't many folks who'd equate an Indian war party to a miracle, but Reverend John White did. He believed in miracles; it went with the job. But this particular miracle...well, it was a doozy and her name was Ane, the only surviving member of a doomed westward-bound wagon train.
Go west where the men are sexy, dominant and very capable of setting fire in the hearts and seats of their women.
Ellen Oldsmere, becomes a mail order bride for a complete stranger in the Montana Territory, fleeing Minneapolis. Her new husband is all that she'd imagined: handsome, virile and sexually skilled. But he's also the town sheriff and would surely arrest her if he found out her secret.
Ryder Graves is determined to find a bride of his choosing, wanting more than what is available in town. When Eleanor arrives, she meets all of his expectations, but not all she seems. Will he still want her when he learns the truth, or will his passion for the law make her face the consequences of her actions?
The Outlaw’s Bride by Renee Rose
A spitfire rancher. The dominant outlaw who takes her in hand.
Stranded in the west, Mabelle's been managing her dead sister's ranch alone for three months. The last thing she needs is the Curly James Gang pushing her around. She fights back, and finds herself over an outlaw's knee.
She wants to hate the good-looking outlaw, but he seems to have her best interest at heart and even risks his life to protect her from the rest of the gang. Still, a quick-to-spank outlaw with a bounty on his head isn't the sort of man for her. Or is he?
Rocky Mountain Rose by Lee Savino
A cowboy with a broken heart. A dancing girl who’s sworn off men. Love blooms in the hardest hearts in the Wild West.
Feisty and independent, Rose is a dancing girl in the Wild West. When an evil brothel owner lays claim to her, it’s up to Lyle Wilder to rescue the jaded redhead. Lyle vows to protect Rose, even if he has to drag her kicking and screaming to safety. His firm discipline keeps his wild rose from danger, but can he convince her to let love grow?
Life After Rachel by Maren Smith
There weren't many folks who'd equate an Indian war party to a miracle, but Reverend John White did. He believed in miracles; it went with the job. But this particular miracle...well, it was a doozy and her name was Ane, the only surviving member of a doomed westward-bound wagon train.
In the span of a single day, the young Norwegian woman had lost her entire family, her husband, even her infant daughter. Having been in America for less than a month, she couldn’t even speak her rescuers’ language, but the Lord worked in mysterious ways and necessity had a way of making itself clear no matter what the obstacles.
So off Ane went, to a hardscrabble farm a few miles out of Redemption to care for the baby who needed her to survive and for the heart-broken man who, fight it though he tried, needed her even more.
Mail Order Switch by Patty Devlin
Liz will do anything to get away from her evil guardian, and she was prepared to disguise herself as a boy and look for work as a ranch hand. When Caroline, a stranger on the train next to her, sees through her "boy" disguise, and begs her to take her place as a mail-order bride, Liz doesn't hesitate long before saying yes.

FIVE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED STORIES IN A BARGAIN BOX SET
The Cowboy Discipline box set consist of five full-length stories by five well-known published authors. The main theme is strong dominant men who take their ladies in hand. While these take place in the rugged, wild west, when times are hard, men must protect their women, and sometimes that means a harsh bare-bottom spanking. Under the circumstances, they may seem extremely harsh and even nonconsensual, the reader must remember that this was a time when there were no contracts and agreements as today; this was a time when it may be the difference between life and death. Many of these stories are part of a series but each story here reads as a standalone and therefore you will not be left on cliffhangers or feel like you are missing pieces of the story.
The Lawman by Vanessa Vale
THE SHERIFF GETS HIS WOMAN
I loved the relationship between Ryder and Ellie. Ryder Graves, Sheriff and a dominant man with baser proclivities, used Mrs. Bidwell, a Madame in Minnesota to help locate mail order brides. Ellie is actually Ellen Oldsmere, orphaned child that had been well-bred but finds herself running for her life, and decides to be a mail order bride, changing her name to Eleanor Adams. The story has its twist and turns, the dialogue and interaction steamy as Ryder initiates his wife into marriage to meet his baser needs. This story has spankings, bondage, anal play and explicit sex scenes. This is a series, and we met at the beginning of the story two other mail order brides on the same coach so that we will see stories of Emily and Caroline.
The Outlaw’s Bride by Renee Rose
WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN NAUGHTY, I EXPECT YOU TO TAKE YOUR PUNISHMENT LIKE A GOOD GIRL
Mabelle Lawson is living at the farm in Wyoming of her late brother-in-law who was killed by Indians and sister who died of Consumption. She is barely managing day to day. Sam Pride was a rancher in Colorado that had a run in with four men sent by a neighboring rancher who wanted his land and water for his cattle. Sam is considered a wanted man for what was self-defense. He ends up with the Curly James gang by accident when they were both seeking shelter from the rain. Forced to be there during a stage robbery, he actually saves the people from death. They are riding and need shelter and find Mabelle's farm. Sam knows how ruthless these other three men are, and being a decent man; he protects Mabelle when Curly went to slap her in the face and said that is not how you handle women, you spank their bottom, which he does. Things start to get out of hand when Curly decides he is going to take Mabelle in hand, and a shootout occurred, killing the three wanted gang members. Sam loads their bodies into the wagon and tells Mabelle to take them to Cheyenne for the reward but ends up having to go with her. Along the way, he ends up having to blister her bottom repeatedly.
Rocky Mountain Rose by Lee Savino
DON’T THINK ABOUT IT. JUST TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME
This is the third book in this series but each read as a standalone; we do see Miles and Carrie Donovan near the end of this book. This story is emotional, and your heart is torn for Rose. She was a pawn in men’s games, including her father. She doesn’t feel she has any self-worth, but Lyle Wilder disagrees. He had tried to rescue her and her older sister Mary years ago, but her father took her away. Rose doesn’t realize how strong she is. She cared about Sam, and took this kid under her wing and protected him. It takes a dominant man that is willing to go wherever he needs to, rescue her, fight for her, correct her, and prove to her over and over again that he cares for her, loves her and she is worth fighting for. The plot keeps the pages turning with the twists and turns in the romantic suspense story with a great cast of characters, mystery, and suspense.
Life After Rachel by Maren Smith
PLEASE BE HAPPY, TAKE HER AND LOVE HER
The story is extremely emotional, not just for the sorrow Daniel feels when Rachel dies after giving birth to their son, but also for Ane, a Norwegian, whose wagon train was attacked by Indians killing everyone but her, that included her husband, infant daughter and in-laws. The dilemma of Daniel’s infant son needing a wet nurse and Ane brings this two together on what is the hardest days in their lives. The Reverend refuses to leave them unmarried and thus begins a journey. Daniel is bitter, angry and beside himself with grief and doesn’t even consider how Ane is feeling. He lost one; she lost everyone. The only thing left for him is his son with Rachel, and Ane is nursing the starving infant. The story involves a time when men were in control, women have no rights, and men spanked women, it wasn’t consensual; it was his rights. The harsh spankings Daniel inflicts upon Ane are sometimes done in anger, and the language barrier doesn’t help. Can these two find a happy medium before it is too late? Note: The spankings in this story will not fall under normal “safe, sane, and consensual” guidelines. If anything, most of them could be the “what not to do” scenario in domestic discipline.
