Who doesn’t love a story about a sexy, gorgeous, dominant
hero, who’s got a touch of bad boy rebel in his blood and is quick with the hand
to make you hurt so good?
<crickets…>
Yeah, I didn’t think any of you could resist Alistair Graham
(great name). The cover is hot, the hero
is hotter and the story is going to melt your panties, so take it away Ashe, we
can’t wait…
The Highwayman’s Lady
by Ashe Barker
Hi Maddie, and thank you so much for inviting me back over to
your blog to give a shout out about The
Highwayman’s Lady.
I’m really excited about this story, Gray is a hero I’ve been
fantasizing about for a while now, and it just reached the point where he had
to emerge. He’s a thief and a rogue and no one at all could mistake him for a
gentleman, but I hope readers – and Imogen - will love him as much as I do.
Here’s the blurb…
After the death of her mother, twenty-year-old Imogen Bennett
faces the prospect of being coerced into marriage by a scheming relative, but
fate intervenes when a masked highwayman accosts her on the road. Desperate to
escape the unwanted wedding, Imogen pleads with the mysterious, handsome rogue
to rescue her.
Alistair Graham – Gray - is a proud Scotsman who rebelled
against British rule, and since the defeat of the highlanders at Culloden he
has taken to robbing rich Englishmen travelling through Scottish lands. He is
no gentleman, but he is certainly not a man who would ignore a young woman’s
pleas for help, and he agrees to do what he can to assist the beautiful girl he
has waylaid.
Imogen finds herself drawn to Gray, and though he warns her
that he expects a woman’s complete obedience both in bed and out of it, she
cannot resist offering her virgin body to him. He takes her hard and
thoroughly, leaving her utterly spent yet still aching for more, and when her
shock at her own wantonness leads her to speak disrespectfully to him he bares
her bottom and punishes her soundly.
A highwayman is no suitable match for a lady, however, and
Gray fears that her association with him can only put them both in danger, so
he makes her promise that she’ll tell no one about what took place between them
and then ensures that she is delivered safely to the home of her honourable cousin
in Kirkleven. Yet despite her best efforts to put Gray out of her mind forever,
in her heart Imogen knows she will always belong to the man who rescued her,
mastered her, and made her his. But will her highwayman ever return to lay
claim to his lady?

And a nice spanky excerpt….
In the months since we met I have somehow managed to quell any
attempt on the part of my over-enthusiastic imagination to invent features for
my masked rescuer. I could not have done him justice in any case – Gray is
quite simply perfect.
His deep mahogany eyes and rich brown hair I already knew, but
I could never have conjured up the straight, aquiline nose nor the sensual
mouth which reminds me of the soft, lingering kisses he bestowed upon me with
such generosity during the night we spent together. His lips part in a smile to
reveal even, white teeth. His jaw is firm, and I detect the hint of a beard
just starting to appear as though he has not shaved for a day or perhaps two.
His countenance speaks to me of humour, and of passion, desire and dominance. I
blurt out the first words which occur to me.
"You are handsome. I knew you would be."
His answering grin sets my quim to dripping again. "Thank
you, but fair words will not lessen your punishment." He pats his lap, his
requirements clear.
Stoic, I flatten my quivering lips and resolve to bear this as
best I can. It will hurt far less than the whipping he originally intended and
now he knows about the baby he will temper his punishment still more, surely. I
stumble forward to lay down across his thighs.
"A little further over. Lift up your bottom for me. I
expect you to submit to this and present your derrière for your
punishment."
I wriggle forward and place my feet on the floor, my bottom
angled over his knee and duly raised to receive the spanking.
"That is good. You may move, but each time you do I will
stop spanking you and require you to return to this position before I continue.
You will endure the spanking until I decide your punishment is concluded. I
prefer you not to make a lot of din for the reasons I have already made clear,
so if you wish I will gag you."
"No sir. I will be quiet." Such humble acceptance,
such humility. What is it about this man which inspires my absolute surrender?
"You are a brave girl. I am proud of you."
His words of approval warm me and some of the tension leaves
my body. Some, not all. I may be brave, I am pleased he thinks so, but that
does not mean I am unafraid.
He lays his palm over my bottom and strokes me in large
circular movements, first one buttock, then the other. I hiss again, the burn
of the earlier leathering not subsided at all.
"Open your legs, Imogen."

More about Ashe Barker:
I’ve been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic and
other genres.
I still love reading, the hotter the better. But now I have a
good excuse for my guilty pleasure – research.
I tend to draw on my own experience to lend colour, detail and
realism to my plots and characters. An incident here, a chance remark there, a
bizarre event or quirky character, any of these can spark a story idea.
I live in the North of England, on the edge of the Brontë
moors. When not writing – which is not very often these days - my time is
divided between my role as resident taxi driver for my teenage daughter, and
caring for a menagerie of dogs, tortoises.
And a very grumpy cockatiel.
I have around thirty titles on general release with publishers
on both sides of the Atlantic, and I have several more in the pipeline. I write
M/f, M/M, and occasionally ring the changes with a little M/M/f. All my books
feature BDSM. I write explicit stories, always hot, but they offer far more
than just sizzling sex. I like to read about complex characters, and compelling
plots, so that’s what I write too.
I have a pile of story ideas still to work through, and keep
thinking of new ones at the most unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a
lot more from me.
Let’s keep in touch. Here’s how to stalk me…
