The lawmen in this book were serious offenders against the laws they had at one time sworn to uphold. Their skills were honed in range wars and family feuds and polished along the cattle trails, in the saloons and banks, and on the trains of the West. More than one kicked out their lives at the end of ropes strung up by citizens who were outraged by their abuse of the trust that went along with the badge they wore. These are their stories.

Twenty-one-year-old Felicia is a college student working part-time as a professional Dominatrix. She came to the profession on the advice of an older Dominatrix. As a dominant female, she hopes to come to terms with a traumatic and humiliating event from her past. At just eighteen, she consented to a disciplinary paddling from her school principal. The ensuing media attention resulted in her being almost totally ostracized by her peers. She still suffers from PSTD and feels she's missing out on something she may be afraid to admit, even to herself... that is until one warm spring evening, when she accepts an "outcall" from a posh hotel not far from her apartment, she meets a "client" of the sort she never expected. Turns out, he never expected a girl like her! Two dominants in the same room? While it’s a practical joke, as their evening progresses, Felicia discovers that not all males calling themselves Dominants are cut from the same cloth. He suggests possibilities she's been missing and an aspect of her personality she may never have quite accepted, until tonight…
