At twenty years old, Josie Ellsworth is sass and sunshine and trouble in a Sunday bonnet. She had most folks in Stonewater wrapped clean around her little finger.
Not so Clayton.
Quiet, steady, and altogether too sharp for her liking, Clayton Bannister saw straight through Josie's sass the very first time she tried it on him, and he knew exactly how to deal with a girl who didn't mind her manners. Straight over his knee she went, and no amount of blue-eyed glaring nor foot-stamping was going to save her from it.
The trouble was, and it was a very big trouble, Josie liked him.
She liked his slow smile, his big steady hands and the low, quiet way he said her name. And, heaven help her, she even liked it a little when he took her in hand.
But that didn't mean she was fixing to forgive him any time soon.
Now, with her two eldest sisters both married to a Bannister man, it seemed it was her time to start courting.
But would she choose Clayton, the rich, handsome Nathaniel Jefferson, or the dark and dangerous Abel Morrow?
Three men. One headstrong girl. And a summer in Stonewater that nobody, least of all Josie, was going to forget in a hurry.
Along the way her younger sisters manage to land themselves in trouble of their own, and Josie's well-meaning helping hand only serves to land her in deeper water still. The road to hell, her mama used to say, is paved with good intentions — and Josie learns, a little too late, that perhaps she ought to have done things very differently indeed.
Follow Josie's story as she discovers, for better and for worse, exactly what it means to live under the watchful eye of the Bannister men.
Disclaimer:If you love romantic spanking discipline, alpha heroes, and feisty heroines, jump straight in, but if this offends you, please don't purchase it!
