Beautiful, headstrong Stacy Bennett is about to set off for a new life on the other side of the country when she meets passionate young pastor Mark Strong. They can't deny the attraction between them, but how can they make it work when she is moving two thousand miles away? And how can this modern feminist cope with his traditional views on domestic discipline?

She wears clothes that certainly aren't appropriate for a potential pastor's wife, and has a fiery temper to match her red hair. Will she push him too far, or will his commitment to spanking her wherever and whenever she deserves it drive her even further into his arms?

She knows that she loves him and honors him, but can she promise to obey him? Doing so would commit her to a lifetime of discipline at his hands and, unless she can amend her ways, the likelihood of a sore backside most evenings. Will love win out, or will her unwillingness to say one simple word tear them apart?
