Twenty-four-year-old
Amy is the quintessential poor little rich girl. Her parents taught her that
beauty alone would get her everywhere, and when her husband, Dr. Cade
Hollister, convinces her to take the last class she needs to finish her degree,
she has no idea what is in store for her. Amy has never challenged herself in
the past, and when she fakes an illness to avoid the hard work required to pass
the course, Cade decides it is time to teach her a much-needed lesson.
Before she knows
it, her husband is taking her temperature the old-fashioned way, and that is
just the start. Amy soon learns that her strict doctor will do whatever is
necessary to keep his wife in line, and he is more than ready to give her the
discipline she requires, even if it leaves her cheeks blushing as red as her
well-spanked bottom. But can she overcome her embarrassment and come to terms
with the fact that she loves submitting to Cade, loves the way his punishments
make her feel, and loves the way her body craves his dominance more and more
every day?
