Scarlet Stockings
by Mary Wine

It takes a lot to shock Bethany Wilton, and seeing her gorgeous new husband Gabe sneaking into a madam's room at the saloon while she's at home stoking the fires sends her into action. Never let it be said that Bethany can't give as good as she gets, and besides, there can't be anything a scarlet woman can do that she can't learn too!

With her "ammunition" in place, Bethany intends to give her husband a Yule-time celebration he will not soon forget. Judging from the result, Gabe feels it was the best three dollars he ever spent. And Bethany's choice of delivery for his Christmas gift is one he intends to explore every day...and night of the year.

Bethany and Gabe both discover that while true love may warm the heart, the body shouldn't be forgotten once the wedding night has passed.

Mary Wine's Bio

I write to reassure myself that reality really is survivable. Between traffic jams and children's sporting schedules, there is romance lurking for anyone with the imagination to find it.

I spend my days making corsets and petticoats as a historical costumer. If you send me an invitation marked formal dress, you'd better give a date or I just might show up wearing my bustle.

I love to read a good romance and with the completion of my first novel, I've discovered I am addicted to writing these stories as well.

Dream big or you might never get beyond your front yard.
