The set up...
Five illegitimate sons of a profligate gambler; these half-brothers learn of their father's death, some learning for the first time that their brothers exist. These rugged, handsome men, despite their unfortunate beginnings, grow to become strong, upstanding men (for the most part) in their own right, no thanks to their father. Still, from across the country they embark on a journey. Along with their sassy and sometimes mischievous brides, they travel to Denver for the reading of the will. For most, the will is the least of their concerns. Instead, they have a burning curiosity to meet the other sons of Johnny Hastings.
Available for individual sale or as a boxed set which include five brand new stories by some of your favorite authors: Patty Devlin, Patricia Green, Renee Rose, Maddie Taylor (yours truly), and Mary Wehr.

To Have and To Scold
Annie’s sweet on her neighbor, Matthew Caine, but the stern
rancher treats her like a bratty child instead of a woman. Each encounter
always ends with a trip over his knee.
Matthew’s fed up with Annie’s childish behavior. Her latest
prank ruined a brand new pair of boots! While he sets her britches on fire, he
refers to her as a nuisance and warns her to leave him alone. For once in her
life, Annie obeys.
‘Bratty’ Annie has
grown into a beautiful woman and Matthew realizes that he’s fallen in love with
her, but she’s unsure of his feelings. When he learns about her stepmother’s
evil plan to marry her off to a man Annie despises in order to settle a debt,
he steps in and takes her to wife.
Annie’s happy to be married to the man of her dreams and
learns that no matter what her age, her disobedience and sass will be dealt
with an old-fashioned spanking.
Excerpt:
Annie scowled. "What do you want? I'm busy."
"Not any more, you ain't." His hand shot out and
he latched hold of her wrist. "Sorry Johnny, but this here lady belongs to
me." Annie sputtered in outrage, but Matt ignored her as he crossed the
floor with her in tow. She tugged and squirmed, but he held fast.
"Let me go this instant, Matthew Caine. I'm not going
anywhere with you." Matt kept walking and she kept yanking. "Did you
hear me? I said let go. Johnny, will you please help me?" She called over
her shoulder. Johnny just stood there with his jaw hanging open.
Matt whirled around so fast she slammed into his chest and
nearly lost her balance. He gripped her upper arms and picked her up off the
floor until they were eyeball to eyeball. "Don't go getting an innocent
man involved in your childish games, Annie Dobbs. Now, you're coming with me
real peaceful like," he set her on her feet, "or else."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah," he shot back and snatched hold of her
wrist once again. "One more word and I'll turn you over my knee right here
and tan you proper."
Annie pursed her lips and gave his arm another yank.
"You wouldn't dare."

1. AC. Women had to wear way too many garments back
then. 2. Birth control. A big family is nice, but if cash was hard to
come by it would hurt too much if my children couldn’t be properly taken care
of 3.TP. With my luck, I’d use poison
ivy leaves 4. Automobile. It’d be much
faster than a horse in case of an emergency. 5. Phone. I could call my cowboy
home J
