Either you want me to take you back to Sydney, or you agree that I’m in charge.” A successful photojournalist, Emma Harrison has landed in Sydney on a mission; to capture thrilling sights for an upmarket coffee table book.

Derrick Palmer, the man her publishing company has hired to take her to the outback, isn’t just any tour guide. He is an Aussie cowboy who knows the dangers that lurk in the desert, and he is willing to do whatever is necessary to keep the spunky Miss Harrison out of harm’s way. Neither could possibly know that the perils they’ll face will ignite erotic sparks, hurtling them into the flames of a hot, passionate romance, but with Emma living the USA, and Derrick based in a small country town outside Sydney, how can they possibly share a future? The Cowboy From Down Under is another sexy, steamy, Maggie Carpenter romp, starring a fabulous, feisty female and a romantic, no- nonsense Dominant cowboy. Spanking, bondage and salacious sex is par for the course as Derrick uncovers Emma’s submissive nature, and knocking gently on his heart, she enters, closes the door, and throws away the key. less

A short time later, butterflies fluttering, Cassie listened as Chad laid down the law in no uncertain terms. “From now on the rules will be the rules, you break ‘em, you get your bottom spanked,” he exclaimed, “just the way things were when we first met, and when I say spanked, I mean spanked.” It has been several months since Sassy Cassie, as Chad endearingly calls her, moved in with him at Horse Haven Ranch. Chad Douglas runs his ranch with a set of rules he expects everyone to follow, but after Cassie does something incredibly irresponsible he realizes he’s become far too lenient, and his love for her has caused him to let certain misdemeanors go unpunished. Cassie receives the discipline she deserves, and while she is left with a hot, stinging bottom, laying in his arms she can feel the restlessness she had been feeling evaporating. With a busy spring and summer ahead, Chad believes the renewal of his firm hand has curbed Cassie’s recent rebellious streak, and he can look forward to a smoother, easier time. Neither he or Cassie have any idea of the drama that is about to unfold. The Cowboy’s Rules: 2 picks up the romantic story of the strong-willed cowboy, his recalcitrant fiancee, and their close friends, Marty and Hannah, as they find themselves caught up in an unexpected whirlwind of events. Domestic discipline and salacious sex are at the core of this continuing saga, another Maggie Carpenter page turner that you’ll want to keep on your bedside table long after you’ve read the exciting conclusion. less

As their evolving love affair crackles, so does a mystery involving Dusty’s champion steed. As Matt attempts to uncover the secret, he must deal with his growing attraction to the willful young woman, and protect her from the danger that lurks in the shadows.
