Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors blog hop
( wewriwa.com ).
I haven’t been here for a very long time and
am glad to be back. Let’s jump right in
because I have a brand new historical western to share.
The
Trail Master’s Bride
They were days past Fort Kearney, heading north along the
Platte River, which was a murky, muddy shallow river with water too foul too
drink and bathe in. The prairie here was arid, the earth dusty and dry, which
meant the grasses were shorter and trees scarce. That also meant firewood was
scarce. Thus, she was charged with collecting buffalo dung to fuel their cook
fires.
The look of disgust on her face when he’d told her was
unsurpassed and she’d gone about her task wearing a similar expression. As the
memory replayed in his head, he couldn’t keep from laughing now, thoroughly
amused by the little soft-horn. Unfortunately, she heard and apparently mistook
the source of his humor because Weston was sure she was grumbling to herself;
words like bossy, high-handed, arrogant, and one, if he’d been one hundred
percent certain that she’d said it, would have earned her a talking to or more.
A word not fit for a lady’s lips, one that he’d used in a fit of anger growing
up that had earned him a cake of soap in his mouth.
She was a spitfire, all right, and amused him no end.

The Blurb:
After
being cast out of her childhood home by her horrid stepmother and forced into a
marriage by her uncaring father, Mina Hobart reluctantly begins the journey
west on the Oregon Trail, hating every minute of each hot, dusty day. Then
tragedy strikes and Mina is left a widow.
The
west is no place for a young, newly single woman, and the job of keeping Mina
safe—and keeping her in line—falls to Weston Carr, the rugged trail master.
Weston quickly proves more than ready to tame the feisty redhead’s careless
ways and sassy tongue, even if that means taking her over his knee for a good,
hard, bare-bottom spanking.
Unfortunately,
even as Mina does her best to learn to cook over a camp fire, make coffee properly,
and do the laundry in a creek, jealousy and gossip among the other wives
quickly build into significant strife in the wagon train. To quell the gathering
storm, Weston is forced to take matters into his own hands and make Mina his
bride, whether she likes it or not.
Despite
Weston’s rough ways and firm-handed discipline, Mina soon finds pleasure in his
arms far beyond anything she has experienced before. But when a series of
mishaps befalls the wagon train—incidents in which Mina is the prime suspect—the
new couple’s growing bond is badly strained. Can Mina prove she is not at fault
before things come to a head, and if she does, will Weston be able to protect
her from whichever of their traveling companions is up to no good?
