Stonewater, Wyoming, 1879
Alice Ellsworth came west with her four sisters to start a new life — only to find the ranch they’d bought was barely held together with baling wire and prayer. Thank heaven for their neighbours, the Bannisters. One weathered father and five strong, handsome cowboys, all far too generous with their help… and far too easy on the eye.
Now Alice's eldest sister Leona is a Bannister bride, and Alice and her sister Josie ride over twice a week to cook and mend for the six Bannister men. Honest work for honest pay, and the only thing keeping the Ellsworth ranch afloat.
Two days a week, Alice tells herself she is entirely unaffected by the tall, quiet, slow-smiling cowboy who watches her from across the lunch table.
Two days a week, she lies.
Wyatt Bannister has a great deal of patience, a very steady hand, and an infuriating knack for knowing exactly when a sassy girl is about to land herself in trouble. And Alice, much to her own private astonishment, is discovering that she rather likes being taken in hand…
…and adores vexing the man who does the taking.
The trouble is, Alice isn't at all sure she wants to marry a man who'd take her over his knee — no matter how tall he is, nor how slow and knowing his smile.
And the spiteful Galloway twins are about to make that decision a great deal harder. When the twins set their sights on ruining the Ellsworth sisters, Alice and Leona take revenge that comes at a very steep price, and now both girls are in a great deal of trouble with their Bannister men.
The only question left is a simple one:
Can Alice outrun Wyatt's discipline?
And more to the point —
Does she even want to?
Book II in the Bannister Ranch Series but a stand-alone
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!
