Today, The prolific and talented Allison West is joining us with an excerpt from her Victorian Spanking Romance "The Lords of Discipline."
“Do
you know how few women there are transported on each ship? I’ve heard tales of
women forcing themselves to pair up with a guard or prisoner for protection. Is
that what you want for yourself?”
Violet
hadn’t even considered such a notion. She remained silent for a long moment
before emitting a heavy sigh. “I was hoping to find my parents. I haven’t seen
them in four years. Surely they are free and have not been able to travel back
to London to bring me with them.” She did not know the terms of their sentence,
but suspected they had paid their dues.
James
shuffled his feet, undoing the ties around Violet’s arms. “A prisoner ship is
no place for a woman. Write down their names and I will look into their
whereabouts. A prisoner manifest would at the very least give us a location of
where they were being kept and if they are still prisoner or have been allowed
free. Violet, you will come home with me, where I will provide you food and a
bed to sleep. Upon discovery of your parents’ whereabouts, I personally will
see to it that word is sent on your behalf.”
No
one was ever kind without expecting something in return. “What is it that you
want?” Violet asked. She wasn’t by any means agreeing to his offer, though it
sounded much more promising than her own idea of asking everyone in the prison
if they’d heard of her parents.

From
a line of felons...
Violet
Kingsley’s parents, convicted of conspiring against the crown, were sent to the
penal colony, leaving Violet with her abusive uncle. Escaping his home was
easy, living on the streets was a matter of survival. At nineteen she wants
nothing more than to see her parents again. With no other way to discover their
whereabouts, she forces her way inside a restaurant and breaks into the
kitchen, delivering herself one last hot meal before she too is sent to the
penal colony, in hopes of finding them again.
Officer
James Foster patrols the streets of London and is called into a different
district to cover a shift. Catching Violet red-handed with stolen soup right
out of the ladle, he has no choice but to arrest her, except his heart won’t
let him send this poor woman to the magistrate for further proceedings. He’s
seen her before, bought her a meal two years ago, and feels nothing but guilt
for her still living the same life she had back then. He should have done more
for her.
Knowing
what will become of Violet as a convict on a ship set out for the penal colony,
she would be one of only a few women against hundreds of men who wanted to take
her virtue. Violet would not survive the transport, let alone the life of a
convict in New South Wales.
Needing
a caretaker for his fourteen-month old daughter, James offers her a chance to
pay off her debt, with the same sentence term, seven years. Will she behave as
a lady should, or find his expectations and her new life to be too difficult?
