She’s not the bride he ordered…

Desperate for a fresh start, Ingrid travels west and marries a handsome rancher named Everett Manning. When she disobeys him on their wedding night, she’s shocked when the brawny cowboy takes her over his knee for a firm spanking before they consummate their marriage. But he also incites her desires, and she soon finds herself yearning for his masterful touch.

Everett longs for a woman to share his life with, and he decides to place an advertisement for a mail order bride. The petite blonde who steps off the train takes his breath away, and he can’t wait to get her home and claim the blushing beauty. He’ll show her what happens to naughty wives, then he’ll teach her what happens in the marital bed.

But what will the strict rancher do when he learns his new bride has been keeping secrets?
