LORD COWBOY is a torrid romance novel by English writer Lady Jayne Ascot. Set in England and Europe during the epic summer of 1944, it tells the story of GWEN, a fiery English war widow, and her passionate involvement with "ROCK", a valiant Lightning pilot from Texas who by chance was himself widowed before the War.
In a world where Death was a constant companion, lives could be snuffed out suddenly and without warning. Countless men and women sought comfort in each other's arms (and in each other's beds). This gave new meaning to the concept of love and romance, and to the very idea of right and wrong. "Make you and your partner feel good" became the crucial edict.
Swept along in the passion of the times, Gwen and Rock explored almost every facet of sexuality possible for a woman and a man. The only limits to their erotica became their own imaginations. But of course in the end, as we all are, they were only human, with human limitations. The fires of war lit the flames of their desire - but would they be consumed?
ROMANCE EMBRACES US like a tropical breeze. It warms and comforts us, and makes us feel whole. The question is, will Romance come as a zephyr, scented with flowers and exotic aromas – or as a hurricane?
For lonely English war widow Gwen, it will be the latter. By summer 1944, England is a place of sacrifice and hardship. Death abounds. Whilst ground battles are limited to Europe, the V-Blitz brings deadly Nazi wonder weapons like the V-1.
Amidst days of sandbags and nights of Blackout, Gwen's builds warplanes. Since 1940, she has lost too many people. Her husband, an RAF Pilot, was killed a year ago. To keep her sanity, she has adopted a simple tenet: "Everybody dies." But she is so lonely. She knows she cannot long survive without physical affection, but the idea of a "tawdry love affair" repels her.
DURING THE BLACKOUT, a strange ritual has evolved. A lonely English woman will go out into the night to a place where Military Officers are known to gather. When she finds one she finds attractive, she will politely enquire, "Would you like to come home with me?"
If he agrees, for one special night they will share every tenderness – and an intimacy known only to the most trusting lovers. She will open her body to him completely, and he in turn will do all he can to please her in every way. Later there will be no Good-byes, but only So-longs.
Gwen's best friend persuades her to visit a darkened Service Club, where Gwen nervously asks an American Bomb-Aimer to go home with her. The evening turns into a sexual disaster.
