A proud young woman learns lessons in love and safety when a no-nonsense man sweeps her off of her feet... and over his knee.

Leaving Boston to take a job as the schoolmarm of the small town of Porter, Texas, had seemed like a good idea, but the man sent to fetch her from the station almost changes her mind. The handsome but uncivilized brute who introduces himself as Max Harrison not only calls Charlotte by her first name, he also demands that she change her clothing, which he insists is inappropriate for the weather. She refuses to obey him. A short time later she gets heatstroke, faints, and endures being undressed down to her unmentionables and splashed with water by the brute. Worse, after her humiliating experience, Max warns her that any further foolishness will earn her a sound spanking on her bare bottom.

Willow is trouble, no doubt about it. But a scorched bottom from an old-fashioned cowboy might set her straight. Widowed rancher Heath Wolfe worries he's making a big mistake by bringing Willow McAllister home to his ranch. A known troublemaker around town, she can't seem to keep a job or avoid skirmishes with the law, so the town marshal implores Heath to help. While Heath agrees to employ Willow, he certainly won't allow misbehavior, and he's even prepared to take the willful young lady over his knee for a sound spanking if warranted. Orphaned and alone for several years, nineteen-year-old Willow is used to taking care of herself. She sleeps wherever she can find a soft surface and roams freely.

She suspects that the rancher is as humorless as he is handsome. Heath and Willow are as different as two people can be, but a tentative friendship forms. Old habits die hard, though, and it doesn't take long for Willow to engage in familiar shenanigans. When problems arise, will Heath regret bringing trouble home, or has Willow finally found a man who can steer her straight?

When faced with a problem that requires their unity, will they be able to set aside their differences, or will the strife they face only tear them apart for good?
